Runtu GNOME For Linux

Runtu GNOME is an open source and freely distributed Linux operating system based on the well known Ubuntu Linux distribution and built around the GNOME desktop environment. It has been designed from the ground up for the Russian Linux community.

The distribution is available for download as a single Live CD ISO image, supporting both the 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, as well as the Russian and English languages. The ISO image can be deployed on a USB flash drive or written to a blank CD disc.

It provides users with the same boot menu that can be found on other editions of the Runtu Linux distribution, which allows them to try the OS without installing anything on their computers, check the disc for defects (only if using a CD media), run a memory test, boot an existing operating system, or install the system without testing it (not recommended).

This Runtu edition uses the GNOME desktop environment, which provides users with a traditional graphical session comprised of a single taskbar located on the bottom edge of the screen and used for launching apps and interacting with running programs.

Default applications include the Nautilus file manager, GPicView image viewer, Gedit text editor, Midnight Commander two-panel file manager, GIMP image editor, Mozilla Firefox web browser, Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger, Skype VoIP client, uGet download manager, and Transmission torrent downloader.

The distro comes with the Evince document viewer, Remmina remote desktop client, Disks disk utility, Audacious audio player, guvcview webcam viewer, Brasero CD/DVD burning software, RecordMyDesktop desktop session recorder, VLC Media Player, Gufw firewall, Htop system monitoring tool, Ubuntu Tweak for configuring the system, and Synaptic Package Manager for installing extra apps.

Overall, Runtu GNOME is a great and fast distribution of Linux that is backed by the LTS (Long Term Support) edition of Ubuntu Linux and offers a traditional desktop environment powered by the amazing GNOME desktop environment.
