GeNOME Review by
5.0/5

In the tradition of Puppy Linux, GeNOME is a lightweight Linux-based operating system that mixes the fastness of the MATE desktop environment with the lightness of the Puppy Precise distribution.

This custom Puppy Linux operating system is available for download as a single, dual-arch Live CD ISO image that runs on either 32-bit (i386) or 64-bit (amd64) hardware platforms.

A minimal boot prompt is provided on the ISO image, designed to start the live environment in five seconds from the moment the user boots the distribution from the BIOS of a PC. For a basic or advanced help menu press the F2 or F3 keys.

As mentioned, the main emphasis of this Puppy Linux derivative is on the MATE desktop environment, as 99% of all Linux distros based on Puppy Linux use the legacy IceWM window manager, which is also the default graphical interface of the main Puppy Linux editions.

The MATE desktop offered in GeNOME Linux is really beautiful, comprises of a top panel for launching applications and a bottom panel for interacting with them and cycling between virtual workspaces. This is often called a two-panel layout.

Default applications include the SeaMonkey all-in-one Internet suite (email, web browser and chat client), uGet download manager, Transmission torrent downloader, Viewnior image viewer, mtPaint digital painting tool, Leafpad text editor, InkLite vector graphics editor, AbiWord word processor, Geany IDE, Gnumeric spreadsheet editor, HomeBank personal accounting software and gFTP file transfer client.

GeNOME is a really great distribution of Linux that should be used by anyone who wants a low on resources, super fast, good looking and feature-rich desktop-oriented operating system for their PCs or laptops.
