    Pearl Linux Surf

    Pearl Linux Surf

    Quick booting OS Built for live usb web browsing

    Pearl Surf was designed to run from a usb thumb drive made the the Ubuntu USB-Creator. We included all you need to start browsing with Chromium and Thunderbird for an email client. Also included for added multimedia functions is Clementine, Banshee and totem. I decided that I was not looking to have the fastest loading live OS as from what I see is all anyone is concerned about, but to acually take a full minute maybe even 1.5 to load and have a decent OS to work with. It loads very fast on many types of systems we check our systems on from net books to all brands of desktops. This is also a great system for you to add software of your choosing for your own custom built system. Ubuntu Software Center is installed for you to add to this lightweight release of Pearl. Java and Flash support built in.

    Pearl Pantheon 7.1

    Pearl Pantheon 7.1

    Pearl on the Pantheon DE with KODI + the Pearl GNOME Session

    Pearl's first Pantheon release. The Pearl 7.1 base (18.04) is where this version starts but has many familiar features the folks familiar with Elementary OS and will feel at home but not quite because as Usual we like to twist it up a bit. The just released of Elementary OS is great and now the Pearl Linux version of Elementary OS with the standard Pearl defaults including compiz for desktop effects available threw the Pearl Window Manager Switcher. For updates we chose to not use the normal way we do updates on other current Pearl releases which is by means of PearlUpdate, which is our version of MintUpdate from Linux Mint. Updates are handled with the default of the Pantheon Desktop Environment to keep the Elementary OS feel as default. Easily installs UEFI on older Mac Book Pro's. For the inexperienced, after install just create a ReFind bootable usb thumb drive available on https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.11.4/refind-flashdrive-0.11.4.zip/download

    GRUB4USB

    GRUB4USB

    GRAND UNIFIED BOOT LOADER FOR USB

    FOR WINDOWS USERS WHO WANT TO JUMP TO LINUX EASILY/PAINLESSLY WITH A FAST BOOTING USB FLASH DRIVE. LATEST VERSION AT www.grub4usb.com A simplified "FAMILY TREE"/"Ancestor" perspective: www.grub4usb.com for more. Introduction (from http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/) GRANDPA: GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader, originally by Erich Stefan Boleyn. DAD: GRUB4DOS made it easier for Windows/DOS users, but was still unreliable; the boot record was difficult to install for average users. GRUB4USB was developed to automate the installation of the correct 446 bytes to the boot sector, providing Windows Users with a bootable USB Flash Drive which could contain any flavor of Linux (or other OS). IDIOT PROOF: GRUB4USB is "AUTOMATIC AND HANDS FREE". Simply insert USB Flash Drives, they're detected, the boot record is installed with a Linux distribution to quickly create functional, bootable USB Flash Drives; aka LIVE USB.
