wattOS

Last Update: Sunday 26 August 2012 08:39 GMT


wattOS is a fast desktop Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. Using the lightweight Openbox window manager as its default user interface, the distribution strives to be as energy-efficient as possible so that it can be used on low-specification and recycled computers.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 65 (195), 6 months: 75 (173), 3 months: 74 (180), 4 weeks: 80 (190), 1 week: 65 (193)

Table Notes and Explanations
  • Select view: Major packages only (52) All tracked packages (214)
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "kdelibs" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.
