BeatriX Linux Review by
3.5/5

BeatriX Linux is one of the oldest distribution of Linux, designed to run on computers with old and semi-old hardware components. It is powered by the Ubuntu, the GNOME desktop environment and several lightweight applications.

The BeatriX Linux distribution is available for download from Softpedia as a Live CD ISO image of approximately 200MB in size, designed to run on computers supporting the 32-bit or 64-bit instruction set architectures.

The user can burn the ISO image onto a CD disc or write on a USB thumb drive of at least 512MB in order to boot it from the BIOS of his/her computer.

The Live CD boot menu is very minimal, designed to only start the live system with the default kernel. Do not hesitate to press the F2 key if you want to access a help screen with details about the available boot command-line options.

Believe it or not, the operating system reviewed here features a fully functional and complete GNOME desktop environment. It provides users with a traditional layout comprised of a single taskbar that allows them to access pre-installed apps and interact with running programs.

With BeatriX Linux, the user can surf the Internet with Mozilla Firefox, send and receive emails with Evolution, chat with their friends and family using Gaim, view image files with Eye of GNOME, write text files with Gedit and extract archives with File-Roller.

It also allows you to view PDF documents with the built-in GNOME PDF viewer application, run command-line programs with the GNOME Terminal software, as well as to create professional-grade word, presentation and spreadsheet office documents with the OpenOffice.org office suite.

The BeatriX Linux distribution is no longer under active development and has been archived for historical purposes only.
