Today's Distro of the Day is Zenwalk Linux 4.6.1. Zenwalk is a rational and easy-to-use GNU/Linux operating system, designed to provide the following characteristics:

• Modern and user-friendly (latest stable software, selected applications)
• Fast (optimized for performance capabilities)
• Rational (one mainstream application for each task)
• Complete (full development/desktop/multimedia environment)
• Evolutionary (simple network package management tool - netpkg)

Today's Distro of the Day is Ubuntu Christian Edition 3.2. Ubuntu Christian Edition is a version of Ubuntu 7.04 geared towards Christians. It is kid-safe with parental controls and includes Bible study software. One nice thing about this LivePC is that because it is based on Ubuntu, if you have subscribed to Ubuntu in the past you will only need to download and install the differences, so this will download very fast.

Today's Distro of the Day is Haiku OS. Haiku OS is based on BeOS, an old (but very ahead-of-its-time) operating system that ran on the BeBox. The BeBox is no more, but the BeOS operating system lives on as open source.

The Distro of the Day for June 4th is Grafpup 2.00. Grafpup is a compact distribution loosely based on Puppy Linux made for graphic artists and other imaging professionals. It includes the major graphics applications like Gimp and Inkscape, along with a variety of support programs and extra features. Despite this, the distro maintains its small size - the complete LivePC is under 150MB!

The Distro of the Day for June 3rd is PCLinuxOS 2007, finally released less than two weeks ago. PCLinuxOS has the goal of making Linux "radically simple". It has an elegant, refined look that is professional-looking yet still comfortable.

Today's featured Distro of the Day is Ubuntu 7.04, codenamed Feisty Fawn. This is the latest version in the Ubuntu Linux juggernaut. Lots of people know about Ubuntu, what with the commercial backing, the signs and billboards that have been popping up, not to mention the seemingly thousands of "My First Experience with Ubuntu" blog articles from Windows users.

The first featured Distro of the Day is Linux Mint 3.0, codenamed Cassandra. Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution whose goal is to provide a more complete out-of-the-box experience by including browser plugins, media codecs, support for DVD playback, Java and other components. Normally with Ubuntu, you have to manually download and configure many media codecs and other essential software like browser plugins. Linux Mint comes with everything preinstalled, plus a minty-fresh look and some additional treats.

The month of June is the official "Month of Distros" ⁽¹⁾, so we are going to start a new feature called "Distro of the Day". Each day for the month of June, we will highlight a new Linux distribution that you can try out in a LivePC.

This is a great way to play around with different operating systems. With the LivePC Engine, you can use Windows, MacOS, Linux, BSD, or any of a myriad of other operating systems all seamlessly and with a single click. You don't need to install anything and because it runs in a virtual environment, the LivePC cannot affect your host computer. The LivePC Engine uses demand-paging so you can start using it right away without having to download the whole thing.

APC is Australia’s most influential computer magazine and the choice monthly magazine for ‘power users’ and IT professionals. We are proud that moka5 LivePC™ is featured on the cover the June 2007 issue. The LivePC Engine installer is included in its DVD.
