Aurora OS Description

An Ubuntu-based distribution optimised for ASUS Eee PC and other popular netbooks Aurora comes in two editions: GNOME and Eeebuntu.With a wealth of amazing applications you can guarantee a great experience straight out of the box. With driver compatibility for most modern computers (including Netbooks), and full acpi support, general use should be simple!Aurora is designed with simplicity in mind. We have worked extensively on making the user experience out of the box as easy as possible. Aurora functions on a rolling release mentality - why should you have to install a new "updated" OS every 6 months? Surely it would be simpler to just have regular service packs? That’s what you can expect. Plus every 3 months the ISO is updated so you know you’re always getting the latest updates and fixes without having to do a major upgrade when you install.We include a number of extras and tweaks under the bonnet to give you usability from the start. Aurora's GNOME edition has a configuration option on install which allows you to decide which desktop variant you would like. You can have a standard desktop complete with all the applications you need, or maybe the Netbook launcher interface? You can even select a basic install which means you pick the apps you want. (Oh and for those who prefer to only have free codecs and software you can opt out of any non-free too!)Here is a range of apps you can expect to be installed by default as well as some easily installed alternatives!Aurora OS started its life as Eeebuntu, an Ubuntu-based distribution optimised for ASUS Eee PC and other popular netbooks. In June 2010 the project was renamed to Aurora OS, with a goal to become a more general Linux distribution for the desktop with user-friendly features.
