RRAbuntu

RRAbuntu is an open source and completely free distribution of Linux derived from the world’s most popular free operating system, Ubuntu, and built around the Rivendell Radio Automation (RRA) system.

It’s distributed as a dual-arch Live CD

Users can download the RRAbuntu operating system via Softoware or directly from its official website as a dual-arch Live CD ISO image that contains software packages optimized for both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms.

Boot menu à la Ubuntu Linux

The boot menu of the Live CD is identical in look and functionality with the one of the official Ubuntu Live CD, which means that it will automatically start the live system in seven seconds from the moment the user boots it from the BIOS of a PC.

Press any key on your keyboard during the 7-second timeout to access advanced boot options, such as the ability to start the live environment or the graphical installer directly, perform a system memory diagnostic test, check the integrity of the bootable medium or boot an existing OS from the first drive.

Uses GNOME Classic as the default and only desktop environment

The default and only graphical desktop environment of RRAbuntu is GNOME Classic, which provides users with an old-school and productive two-panel layout. On the desktop, you will find various in-house built tools that allows you to try the Rivendell Radio Automation system, install the OS, as well as to perform post-install tweaks.

Contains Ubuntu’s default software selection

RRAbuntu contains Ubuntu’s default software selection, which includes the Mozilla Firefox web browser, Totem video player, Evolution email and calendar client, Transmission torrent downloader, Empathy instant messenger client and Ubuntu Software Center.

The best radio automation solution on Linux

All things considered, RRAbuntu is without no doubt a unique computer operating system that provides users with the best radio automation solution based on powerful Linux technologies, such as Ubuntu.
