NetMAX Desktop is free. NetMAX Desktop is pure GPL. NetMAX Desktop is based on Secure Linux.
NetMAX Desktop is a live-CD distribution of Linux upon which NetMAX Server products are based. It includes best of breed applications: Secure Linux (kernel 2.6.11.5), OpenOffice.org, Blender, GAIM, Gnome 2.8, Dia, gtkam, Azureus bittorrent client, Firefox 1.0, Thunderbird 1.0, Totem multimedia player, XINE multimedia player, Wine compatibility layer, hotplug hardware detection and OpenVPN SSL VPN.
This distribution seeks to fill the role of a fully-functional enterprise class desktop system without licensing fees. In contrast to many of the other live-CD distributions out there, it has been designed to be intuitive enough for non-computer savvy folks to use -- including integrated Windows application support.
Power users will find that this distribution puts security first, adheres to published standards, and thus behaves in the way they expect it to. Unlike previous attempts to simplify Linux for the desktop, the power and customizability that has gained the hearts of the open-source community has not been removed.
