Distributed as a dual-arch Live DVD

The 7th Anniversary edition of Greenie Linux is available for download for free as a dual-arch Live DVD ISO image, which has approximately 1 GB in size and it is bootable on computers supporting either of the 32-bit (i386) or 64-bit (x86_64) instruction set architectures. It can be written on a DVD disc or a USB flash drive of 2GB or higher capacity.

Boot menu à la Ubuntu Linux

Being based on the Ubuntu OS, the Live DVD can be used to try the operating system without installing it, start the installer directly, perform a system memory diagnostic check, verify the integrity of the bootable medium (only if using a DVD disc), as well as to boot an existing operating system from the first disk drive detected by the BIOS.

LXDE looks great, includes lots of tweaks
