The Inveneo Desktop Linux is designed for novice to intermediate users in a shared computing environment. The desktop offers an elegant interface that is intuitive and easy for novices to navigate and immediately familiar to more experienced Mac or PC users. It includes the Firefox web browser, Open Office, instant messaging, audio and video playback, PDF viewer, and multilingual typing program. The desktop OS is optimized for compactness without sacrificing significant functionality. Like its hardware designs, Inveneo’s OS is “ruggedized” to enhance system reliability and manageability.

The Computing Station is engineered for use in challenging environments. It incorporates existing, proven hardware products from leading manufacturers with open source software into a single compact unit that more than meets the needs of organizations operating in remote and rural communities.
