  • written to a USB disk (use Rufus or dd if=iso of=usbkey bs=1m), or
  • used attached to a virtual machine, e.g. VirtualBox (create new machine with e.e. 8 cores, 16 Gb mem, 20 Gb disk, and attach ISO to the DVD drive).

This ISO is bootable. It contains a LongTerm Support Ubuntu system with pre-installed applications. You may just run it without touching the current computer disk. You may also install it (with all software) on a 30 Gb+ disk. The Ubuntu system runs on all machines, including Apple ones. The CPU needs to support 64bit architecture (will not run on some netbooks and older machines). Perfect for testing software, tutorials and schools, and machine deployment. Find Applications from either the Desktop directory, or type 'neutron' in the Dash Home.
MacOSX: Press 'C' at boot to start from the DVD.

Alternatively, you can get most of our software from the McCode package repository for Debian/Ubuntu/Mint systems.
