Burhani Linux

Burhani Linux is a free distribution of Linux inspired by and based on the world’s most popular free operating system, Ubuntu. It includes a popular and useful set of open source applications and uses the Cinnamon desktop environment.

Distributed as a 64-bit Live DVD with LTS support

Being based on the latest LTS (Long Term Support) release of the Ubuntu Linux operating system, this distro can be downloaded as a Live DVD ISO image engineered to support only 64-bit hardware platforms. It is supported with security patches and software updates for five years, until 2019.

Minimal boot options

The boot prompt of the Live DVD will allow the user to only start the live environment with default boot options or by using the safe graphics mode, as well as to boot an existing operating system that is installed on the first disk drive.

Beautified Cinnamon desktop environment

As mentioned, the default and only desktop environment of this Ubuntu-based Linux OS is Cinnamon, which uses an unexpected two-panel layout, as well as astonishing artwork.

While the top panel is mostly used by users to applications, the bottom panel will help them to quickly interact with running programs and cycle between virtual workspaces.

Includes a wide range of open source apps

The distribution includes a wide range of open source applications, among which we can mention the GIMP image editor, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox web browsers, Transmission torrent downloader, Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger, Geary email client, LibreOffice office suite, VLC Media Player and Synaptic Package Manager.

Bottom line
