Linguas OS with OmegaT

Linguas OS is a free software (both as in "free speech" and "free beer") Linux distribution, specifically created for translators including tools for the translation industry.

It is a Live CD distribution, meaning it can run from a CD-ROM in a computer's CD drive, but also has the option of being installed to the hard drive.

Linguas OS is based upon PCFluxboxOS, and uses the Fluxbox window manager as default, though other desktops or window managers are available and can be added after installation using Synaptic Package Manager.

Important software packages

Linguas OS includes:

• Openoffice.org - office suite
• OmegaT - CAT software/translation memory application
• Java Open Language Tools
• Esperantilo
• Bitext2tmx

...and other tools for translators, plus the usual tools:

• SeaMonkey interner browser, e-mail, IRC client, and HTML editor.
• XMMS audio player
• pidgin instant messaging client
