Cylon Linux For Linux

Cylon Linux is an open-source distribution of Linux derived from Ubuntu and using the classic GNOME 2 desktop environment as its default and only graphical session. It also includes the Unity and GNOME Shell user interfaces.

Users can download this Ubuntu-based distribution of Linux as a single, dual-arch Live DVD ISO image that supports both 32-bit (i386) and 64-bit (x86_64) hardware platforms.

Being based on Ubuntu, the ISO image features a standard bootloader that allows you to start the live system with default boot options and drivers or in safe graphics mode, start the installer directly, perform a system memory diagnostic test, as well as to boot an existing OS from the first disk drive.

The GNOME desktop environment uses a modern, jawbreaking layout that comprises of a top panel, a bottom dock (application launcher) and some cool system monitoring widgets. It is designed with the modern user in mind, and it is suitable for low-end machines and computers with old and semi-old hardware components.
