Element GNU/Linux Description

A Media Center Linux distribution Element is a Linux-based operating system for media-center personal computers, designed to be connected to your HDTV for a digital media and Internet experience within the comforts of your own living room or entertainment area. Element comes preloaded with dozens of applications that will allow you to listen to, view, and manage your music, videos, photos, and internet media. We've aimed to make our system simple and intuitive while at the same time not sacrificing aesthetics or more advanced configuration options found on a typical desktop computer. This balance of features and customization presents the end-user with a comfortable multimedia and internet experience they will pick up and understand the essentials of in minutes.Element is based on and shares a development relationship with the popular Ubuntu Linux, which in contrast is developed primarily for home-office pc use.

With this in mind close attention has been paid to moving our system out of the office/desktop environment and into the living room, by creating an operating system designed primarily for internet-entertainment and multimedia purposes.Being one of many open-source operating systems based on Linux we have placed a strong emphasis on 'Being Not Just Another Linux Distribution'. We believe our media-centric approach, along with our unique and easily understandable interface and the technologies used to make it all possible set us apart from other available Linux based systems.Element was founded by Kevin Leon Thompson whose previous work within the Linux community includes the development of TuxSoftware.com, and as a developer and consultant on gOS 3 Gadgets from Good OS, LLC.The Element Core-Team is based out of Galveston-League City, Texas.Optimal System Requirements:Processor Speed: 1.6 GHZ+RAM/Memory: 1024 MB+Free HDD Space: 20+ GBVideo: HDMI or S-Video3D OpenGL Compatible(recent Intel, Nvidia or ATI card)Hi-Speed Internet for updatesMinimum System Requirements:Processor Speed : 1.0 GHZRAM/Memory: 512 MBFree HDD Space: 10 GBVideo: HDMI or S-VideoBasic internet connectionfor critical updates
