Pisi Linux LXDE For Linux

Pisi Linux LXDE is an open source and completely free operating system, a special edition of the Pardus-based Pisi Linux distribution built around LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment). It features the PiSi package management system and several lightweight applications.

The LXDE edition of Pisi Linux is distributed as an installable-only ISO image of approximately 1GB in size, designed to work only on computers supporting the 64-bit (x86_64) instruction set architecture. The ISO image must be written on a DVD disc or a USB flash drive of 2GB or higher capacity in order to boot it from the BIOS of a PC.

This special Pisi Linux edition supports multiple languages, including English US, Polish, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Croatian, Hungarian, Italian, Swedish, Dutch, Spanish, Russian, Turkish and Catalan. They’re all selectable from the bootloader.

Default boot options include the ability to start the installation, boot from the local drive, perform a memory test, rescue a broken operating system, as well as to view detailed information about your computer’s hardware components.

Pisi Linux LXDE is an easy to install operating system, as it features a graphical installer that requires users to accept a license, choose a keyboard layout, set the timezone, set up users and passwords, enter a password for the root (system administrator) account, choose a partitioning methods, as well as to configure the bootloader.

Unfortunately, when you try to enter the graphical session for the first time, it will fail, saying that it cannot load the GNOME session. You must manually select the LXDE Desktop Environment from the Sessions section on the login screen.

Default applications include the Leafpad text editor, XSane image scanner, GIMP image editor, HexChat IRC client, Mozilla Firefox web browser, LibreOffice office suite, Transmission torrent downloader, DeaDBeeF and Audacious audio players, PCManFM file manager, Brasero CD/DVD burning software, as well as GNOME MPlayer video player.
