Black Lab Linux (formerly OS4 OpenLinux) is an open source Linux distribution that mixes the stable base of the Ubuntu Linux operating system with the lightweight Xfce desktop environment, providing users with a modern and user-friendly computing environment.
Distributed as a 64-bit Live DVD
The system is distributed as a single Live DVD ISO image that supports only the 64-bit instruction set architecture. The boot medium can be written to a USB flash drive using the UNetbootin application, or burned on a blank CD disc using a CD/DVD burning software.
It comes with built-in support for Nvidia, AMD Radeon and Intel video cards, as well as out-of-the-box support for numerous hardware components. The minimum hardware requirements for this operating system are a 64-bit 1Ghz CPU or newer, 1GB of RAM, 15GB free hard drive space, VGA graphics, keyboard, and mouse.
