Myah Linux For Linux

Myah Linux is a desktop-oriented distribution of Linux built around the KDE3 graphical desktop environment and designed from the offset as an open source alternative to the commercial Microsoft Windows operating system.

The distro is available for download as a minimal Live CD ISO image of approximately 150 MB in size, designed to run on 32-bit and 64-bit compatible PCs. It is a hybrid ISO image, which means that the user can write it on a USB thumb drive or a CD disc in order to create a bootable medium.

When booting the Live CD, all of your computer’s hardware components will be automatically detected and configured. It provides uses with a few essential boot options, such as the ability to start the live system with normal configuration or without a bootsplash, in safe mode or by copying the contents of the ISO image to RAM.

Myah Linux is a bit different then existing Live CD Linux distributions, as it includes a KDE 3.5 desktop environment highly customized to your needs. The menu items have been renamed to look more familiar for Windows users who want to migrate to an open source distribution of Linux. Frequently used programs have been added to the taskbar, which is located on the bottom edge of the screen, for quick and easy access.

Myah uses the KDE desktop environment, which means that most software packages included in the Live CD are KDE-based. These include the powerful K3b CD/DVD burning program, Mozilla Firefox web browser, NVU HTML editor, OpenOffice.org office suite, RealPlayer multimedia player, Kopete instant messenger, as well as the GIMP image editor.
