moonOS K For Linux

moonOS K is an open source operating system based on Ubuntu for the i386 architecture. It includes all the multimedia codecs, support for playing encrypted DVD-Video discs, as well as Java and Flash plugins for Mozilla Firefox.

The K edition of moonOS is distributed to users as a 32-bit Live CD ISO image that has been engineered to run on both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x86_64) computers, despite the fact that it includes only software packages optimized for the i386 architecture.

The Live CD boot menu is identical with the one used on various openSUSE-based operating systems, designed to allow the user to start the live system with a default kernel or in safe graphics mode, perform a system memory diagnostic test, as well as to boot an existing OS from the local drive.

KDE Plasma is in charge of the default graphical environment of moonOS K. It uses a combination between KDE and Enlightenment E17 designed by the Cambodian artist Tim Chan Rithy. The entire desktop layout looks traditional and modern, perfect for new Linux users.

Being built around the KDE Plasma desktop environment, the K edition of moonOS includes mostly KDE-specific applications, among which we can mention the KMail email client, Kopete multi-protocol instant messenger, Konqueror web browser, Okular document viewer, Gwenview image viewer, K3b CD/DVD burning software, JuK music player and Dragon Player video player.

The OpenOffice.org office suite, which includes the spreadsheet, presentation and word components, GIMP image editor, as well as many other useful utilities have also been included in this Linux distribution that can run directly from the bootable medium or installed on the local drive of your computer.
