2 years ago
The April 2011 issue of PC User comes out next Wednesday and inside, you’ll find our latest UserOS operating system.
UserOS Select 10.10 is based on Ubuntu 10.10 but is only 400MB. It’s basically a clean-skin version of Ubuntu 10.10 but with the Xfce desktop environment so it’ll run better on older systems.
However, just as with UserOS Select 10.04, this new version comes with a special SELECT folder on the cover disc with 25 of the latest applications from a range of different areas from office to multimedia to system More >

3 years ago
We’ve been busy over the last couple of months putting the finishing touches to our latest Linux operating system, UserOS Ultra 9.10. It’s been a long time coming but we’re finally happy with the way that this Ubuntu-based operating system has come up.
It basically picks up where our original UserOS Ultra 7.10 operating system left off but with new drivers and some extra features. It’s also still small enough that it not only fits on a 700MB CD-R but it will fit on a 512MB USB flash drive!
