LliureX Pime For Linux

LliureX Pime is a freely distributed and open source operating system, a special edition of the LliureX distribution designed to be used on a self-contained office. It includs Java (JVM), ActiveDirectory (Windows integration) and digital certificates.

This special edition of LliureX Linux can be downloaded from its official website or via Softpedia (see download link above) as two Live DVD ISO images or approximately 2GB in size each, deployable on either 32-bit or 64-bit computers.

The user must burn these ISO image onto DVD discs using any CD/DVD burning software or write them on USB flash drives of 4GB or higher capacity in order to boot them from the BIOS of a PC.

It uses the same boot menu that powers all of the other LliureX editions, allowing the user try the distribution without installing anything, boot an existing operating system from the first disk drive, run a memory test, check the integrity of the bootable medium (only if using a DVD media), perform automated test or start the graphical installer.

It appears that GNOME is the preferred desktop environment for almost all LliureX editions. In this flavor it uses a single taskbar located on the bottom edge of the screen from where the user can launch applications and interacti with running programs.

Among the preinstalled office-oriented open source applications, we can mention the entire LibreOffice office suite, SciTE text editor, Blender 3D modeller, Gobby collaboration software, Vinagre remote desktop client, Sinadura digital signature manager, Planner project manager and Evolution email and calendar client.

The Pime edition of LliureX proves to be a decent, stable and reliable operating system suitable for mid-range or high-end computers and deployable on self-contained office spaces. You should also check out some of the other LliureX editions on Softpedia!
