Loculinux - Distro for internet cafes or call shops

The current problem of this type of establishment is that due to the initial investment in the purchase of computers, the license of the software to be installed must be added, that is, what is installed has to be totally legal since it is a service that is offered to the general public.

The cost of licensing the most widely used operating systems increases the cost of purchasing computers and causes this type of software to be installed illegally.

That is where LOCULINUX comes in, as it is a Linux distribution, it has no cost in the license per computer or per total number of users, since it is based on the GNU license which, in short, tells us that we can freely distribute the software or even modify it at our discretion.

What is Loculinux?


LocuLinux 1.0 It is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu 9.10, that is, the Karmin Koala, which has been developed to cover a little-exploited market for Linux, which are call shops or also known as cybercafés.

LOCULINUX It has all the necessary applications to be able to install itself in this type of establishment, from Office Automation Programs (Word Processor, Spreadsheets, Presentations), Instant Messaging, etc.

This is the first version of LOCULINUX, its installation is very simple, can be run directly from a DVD LIVE or be installed to the hard disk of the computer.

It has two execution environments for programs developed on the Windows platform, Wine and PlayOnLinux, the latter allows us to run most commercial games or demos of these directly from our website. LOCULINUX.



Advantages


As we have already commented before, LOCULINUX is FREE As far as software license is concerned, in terms of technology it is a very reliable operating system since it inherits the robustness of UNIX, it is the safest system, since having the source code anyone can realize a fault, it can be say that tens of thousands of people watch over your safety.

As for the applications that can be used on GNU / Linux, almost all of them are free, so the user can have absolute control over them and decide which ones to install and which ones not, depending on their needs. The programs offered for the different distributions are easily installable and uninstalled, and totally safe, without trial versions or dangerous freeware with viruses.


The Freedom of Using a LINUX Operating System

The freedom we have when using a GNU / LINUX-based OS is that we don't have no type of limitation regarding the customization of our operating systemWhen we talk about freedom and limitations, we say that the same tasks that we carry out with other OS can be carried out in LINUX, since there are currently countless programs, games, etc., for this platform.

The power of this philosophy rests with the end user, that is, he is the one who decides what to do with his own computer and is not "forced" to use pre-installed software, as is well said in the Linux world, this is fully customizable to any point, from its core to the most basic, customizable and improvable program with this we say that if a software we download has a defect or better known as (BUG), if we have enough knowledge we can collaborate with the project of said program and implement a patch to fix the bug that we have found, however in commercial software this is unthinkable since we cannot obtain the source code of these or suggest a revision.
