May-19-2004 - Entering its third year of development, is pleased to
proud its upcoming Linux-based 64-bit Operating System codenamed L OS,
with emphasis on performance, security, usability, and readiness for
new hardware technologies. L OS is based on the open source Linux
kernel and is a joint effort development of a central core team and
worldwide pool of about 11500 Linux programmers and developers and 37
key hardware manufacturers and researchers. The project has been under
development since May, 19th, 2001.
Designed from ground up with exceptional help and input from the open
source community, L OS will be a newly primed platform to fully take
on performance-class hardware and software technologies such as PuRam
Drives, Instant-On Technology, SuperBIOS, CacheFlow, upcoming
high-bandwidth peripherals and 64-bit hardware. Empowering users
worldwide with a new powerful and unique tool for the development and
deployment of creativity and productivity in all areas of business and
personal entertainment, L OS provides a unique opportunity for an
all-new creative platform, made of the input from users worldwide on
behalf of the mission for better computing alternative. L OS primary
strategy is of adding new features, but first to solve long overdue
common problems common to many popular operating systems. The central
focus of the immense effort and research put into the development of L
OS has primarily been on listen to users feedback regardless of their
environment, in order to offer a new absolutely transparent
operational platform that excels in being extremely lean, stable and
fast. With full resident support for many upcoming new software and
hardware technologies, L OS natively integrates extremely powerful
memory management, processing and data caching code, while a built-in
64-bit x86 emulation engine, guarantees full compatibility with the
world's favorite MS Windows™ applications.
L OS's core engineering strategy is creative problem solving instead
of over bloated new features, which is currently the common trend of
everyone else. Equally, a large percentage of all research efforts has
been one of gentle hardware resources exploitation, both maximizing
the extreme speed of some of the current hardware architectures and
precisely tuning the way each software affects the overall performance
of the OS and how the resources hit each individual code, driver and
overall general operation of the whole OS' structure. A superlative
testing and validation process will guarantee that thorough analysis
and benchmarking of each driver and interface written for L OS,
maximizing the success of stability and compatibility across the
entire spectrum of the Operating System's architecture. L OS builds on
extremely advanced capabilities for successful hardware thermal
control and monitoring, active CPU Throttling, Dynamic under &
overcloking on all critical processing intensive components across
hardware setups, and unique abilities for next-generation active and
passive Phase-vapor and multi-stage water cooling architectures.
Focusing on being streamlined, extremely intuitive to use and with a
visually rich navigation interface, L OS' pioneering nature is matched
with a strong security profile and a performance oriented personality.
Featuring a complete industry-leading handpicked application suite to
address the needs of even the most demanding professional user, its
open source nature guarantees a continuous non-obsolesce upgrade and
enhancements path while being ready out-of-the-box to be used as the
primary personal computing environment.
Initially distributed as multi-boot free of charge distribution on all
upcoming L Laptop, Desktop, Workstation and Server products, L plans
to incorporate its users' feedback, the internet community's
suggestions, and its own visions and ideals into an ever evolving open
source operation, cultivating the unique opportunity to take advantage
of exciting new and upcoming performance oriented hardware and
software technologies.
L OS will be distributed with a unique fully-fledged suite of software
including everything a common user would need from web browsing to
system utilities, an office suite, audio/video editing, authoring
tools and a broad selection of imaging and multimedia productivity
gear. This software suite will be comparable to the hand picked
application suite currently delivered for WinXP4L. Like the OS
itself, L OS' software suite will evolve with the needs of its users
and expanding research of L's team and the open source software
developer's community.
Flexibility and Performance
The L Operating System can be configured as a personal computer
environment, a workstation, and a server machine, divided in two L
Operating System solutions: L OS and L OS Server. Configured for
optimum performance, L OS takes advantage of all the latest hardware
and software breakthroughs. L OS is optimized to incorporate L's high
performance PuRam drives and re-written RamDISK code thus
outperforming hard drives with never before seen benchmarks in
mainstream computing. Instant-On™ will be native to L OS, making the
first truly bootless mainstream computing Operating System in history.
Via Instant-On™ Technology L OS loads in a mere second or, just as
fast a modern TV set or a PDA device. CacheFlow™ mirroring
Technologies will allow the OS and all I/O intensive operations to
perform like never before, free of typical system bottlenecks and data
bandwidth limitations. L OS is tunable, meaning it can be custom
configurable for any system. L OS can be adjusted to include nothing
more than the specific drivers and services that are needed for each
users exact needs. Musicians and Video Editors will appreciate the
unique cleanness of an OS that is there to exclusively support their
hardware and software requirements with near zero chance for problems
due to conflicts with other unnecessary components. Web designers and
imaging Pros will shine in the productiveness of their work,
streamlined for the exact tools they need. IT Professionals will rest
assure that the legendary Linux stability and security is at their
command in a more customizable way than ever before. By compiling
software specifically for the users own hardware and software
requirements, L OS cuts down on excess software, drivers and code, to
provide a solution that is tailored for everyone's exact needs.
Components may be added or removed from the operating system at any
time as individual applets running in their own independent memory
processes. Equally, extremely sophisticated logging and uninstall
information with multiple stage system restore points, guarantee
complete removal of applications with no leftovers filling up hard
drive space and bringing down the system's performance over the long
haul. L OS gives users the exact components that they need and want
to work while each one will be a compact, simple, and secure module
for true lightweight performance-oriented system architecture.
Furthermore, L OS installs only the hardware drivers needed for each
specific computer hardware. With a simplistic approach, computers
will be easier to navigate, easier to understand, and capable to
perform to incredible new heights.
Evolution of ‘Minimalist' Technology
All software and computer technologies are in general at a
continuously very early stage of development in the grand scheme of
the tech world. Thus everyone with a computer is a beta tester for
everything they have inside the box, is an undeniable truth. believes
in the evolution of technology. is all about pushing hardware and
software to its limits in an effort to do its managing part in the
evolution of technology itself. Computer users want more
functionality, higher speeds, ease of use, and less waiting. pushes
for the seamless integration of technologies. At we have all seen
software packages with thousands of options, 99% of which the normal
user will never use. Many software developers have been caught up
with offering as many functions, options and application
characteristics as possible to the point, they tend to forget exactly
what they were supposed to be doing with the software in the first
place. We get caught up spending more time trying to learn how to use
an application or an operating system than using it. Moreover with
each new application version or operating system come even more
challenges. In the end we all end up spending more time finding
workarounds for problems we never get to fully understand than
actually using computers for the intended purpose of solving problems.
L OS strives to keep it simple in a world of evolving technology by
ultimately creating an unique platform without thousands of services,
libraries, and functionalities that the average user will never use,
and in many cases never even know they are there. L OS implements a
simple system core, with services and applications that are abstracted
to the user by means of a radically simple and intuitive graphical
user interface. The idea behind L OS is for the operating system to
be as transparent as possible to the user. We believe that technology
needs to evolve improve into a transparent piece of our everyday life,
not the other way around.
Open Source = Constant Improvement
Open source prevents lock-in. Open source software (this includes
free software, as defined by:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.html where the "free" means
"freedom" rather than "free of cost") by its nature allows constant
improvements. Anyone with an idea can implement it or improve upon
it. This also explains Linux's success and why its uniquely dynamic
- literally dozens of thousands of developers worldwide make daily
improvements to the kernel itself. Opening the source code to the
world and inviting everyone to contribute to a project means that
proprietary extensions are extinct. In the world of Linux standards as
defined by bodies like IEEE, W3C, and the Internet consortium are
adhered to. Web browsers and office suites among others follow open
standards for document sharing and service implementation. The
OpenOffice.org package (included on all computers), for example,
follows an open standard, that any other office suite can implement.
The exceptional Mozilla web browser follows HTML and Internet
Consortium standards, without introducing incompatible and proprietary
extensions. Like Linux, L OS will remain open source in order to take
advantage of constant improvements from all types of contributors all
over the world.
User Interface
L OS will sport the same elegant user interface as developed on
WinXP4L. Countless thousands hours of research and testing have gone
into the development of an interface that is easy to use, organized
and extremely intuitive. The same principle is applied to L OS giving
the user the comfort of one interface across two independent operating
systems when working in a dual-boot environment, on the L computer of
your choice. The user interface will also be an evolving project,
based on our ideas and research, and more importantly on the
suggestions of the growing community of open source code users. We
strive to keep it simple and insightful. We endeavor away from the
rigid interfaces that most of us are used to today and towards a more
dynamic and enriching experience, without penalty on system
performance and overall workflow.
Releases
L OS will be released in two flavors: L OS and L OS Server. A
pre-alpha release of L OS will be included standard as a multi-boot
free of charge distribution on all upcoming Laptop, Desktop,
Workstation and Server products and upon reaching mature beta stages,
it will be made largely available as a supported free download to the
general market.
