Enchantment OS

Enchantment OS
Linux simplified for home and office

Derived from Debian Stable and Ubuntu Open Source Goodness

Enchantment OS is a Linux distribution, tailored for ease of use, reliability and performance. It makes stable, secure Linux software goodness more accessible to nongeeky consumers and small business owners. Based on interviews and user trials with more than 200 real-world consumers fom California to Florida, Enchantment OS has more of the features and apps that consumers need and less of the shiny nerdy stuff that they don't. Enchantment OS offers surprising performance on old and new PC hardware-- even when booted from USB flash drives. It features a familiar desktop layout and a prominent app Menu button in the lower left corner. This Linux distribution is accompanied by an easy-to-read full-color paperback user book--Enchantment OS: Linux Simplified for Home and Office.
