What is It?
OSE Linux is a freely downloadable operating system that contains all software that is used regularly at OSE. This addresses the tens of hours that it would otherwise take to download and configure all the software and libraries in common use by OSE. Instead, a single install, taking one half hour of dedicated user time, is sufficient to download the entire operating system.
Software List
Other software:
LinuxCNC implementation of CNC torch table, GRBL, DXF to GCode, QUCS. KDEnlive, Natron, Audacity, RecordMyDesktop, Screenshot. VLC Player. Chromium. ParaView, OpenFOAM, Calculix, Code_Aster. Top picks from CAM - http://bit.ly/1NdhZfL.
OSE Linux Assists in Providing Technical Support
Technical support is a service of huge importance to the OSE community. As a distributive enterprise, OSE is interested in slef-maintaining technical support that can scale to millions of users.
To achieve this, part of our strategy is to utilize OSE Linux as an essential aspect of OSE's technical support.
Software-related issues stand in the way of seamless, distributed, open source collaboration. To address this issue, OSE is proposing that any OSE user or developer obtains a copy of OSE Linux. This allows for a completely uniform way to eliminate all software related issues: improper installs, drivers, libraries, package conflicts, bad settings, security issues, software crashes, updates, and any other software issue. This is done by installing and using an entire OSE operating system, with all software prepared. The goal is to produce a stable and widely accessible system that can be run from a USB or that can be installed as a Dual-Boot System. The release schedule for updates will be quarterly.
