A free, modern and user-friendly GNU/Linux operating system built around the GNOME graphical desktop environment and based off of Fedora

From the developers of the popular Numix theme, we introduce you to Ozon OS, a free and open source distribution of Linux built around the controversial GNOME desktop environment, which has been themed with the beautiful and highly acclaimed Numix themes. It is derived from the Fedora Linux operating system, which in turn is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Distributed as a dual-arch Live DVD

The Ozon OS is available for download for free as a dual-arch Live DVD ISO image that has been engineered to be bootable on computers supporting either of the 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86_64) instruction set architectures. The user can burn the ISO image onto a blank, single-layer DVD disc or write it on a USB flash drive of 2GB or higher capacity in order to boot it from the BIOS of a computer.

Live DVD boot options

The Live DVD boot menu is quite standard for a Fedora remix, providing users with the ability to start the operating system with normal configuration from the get-go. Advanced boot options include the ability to start the live system in safe graphics mode, perform a system memory diagnostic test, as well as to boot an existing OS from the first disk drive detected by the BIOS.

GNOME uses the Numix theme

As mentioned, the distribution uses GNOME (with Atom Shell) as its default and only desktop environment, which has been dressed with an astonishing icon theme, as well as a superb desktop theme. The desktop uses a custom layout comprised of a top panel, from where they can access the launchpad, the workspace switcher and the task manager, as well as a dock (application launcher) located on the bottom edge of the screen.

Comes pre-loaded with top-notch, open-source applications

Being distributed as a Live DVD ISO image of approximately 1.2GB in size, the Ozon OS operating system comes pre-loaded with top-notch, open-source applications, among which we can mention Chromium, Tomahawk, Nautilus, Disks, GNOME Tweak, and a few others.
