BDOS is an user-oriented Linux OS, based on the popular OpenSuse distribution. It is designed to be a complete desktop operating system, by including all major multimedia codecs and the newest software for internet access, such as flash and the Firefox webbrowser.

Steam running with w.i.n.e

For users of the Windows operating system, w.i.n.e. is included to be compatible to most software. Also, using the newest KOffice package, writing text documents or creating presentations can be done with ease.

Amarok, the music talent

In addition to office and work, you can listen to music or enjoy movies without hazards. Amarok, the music player, makes it easy to manage your music library and listen to your  favorite song. Dragon Player will make it easy for you to enjoy videos.

But you are not only bound to view content, you can also become a creator yourself. Using the video editor Kdenlive, you have a powerful tool to edit your videos and movies professionally. Krita makes it easy to edit pictures and create new ones.

Note that this is the first release, if there is something missing or you would like an additional feature, let me know it.
Also, the KOffice software isn't complete free of errors. Sadly, there was no alternative, as OpenOffices needs way, way to much disk space.
See this post for additional informations.
For install instructions, see here. It is for OpensSuse, but it should work for BDOS as well.

If you try to install the system, be sure to make a complete backup, as this can erase your whole hard drive.
