Welcome!
Welcome to mekOS ('Timber
Wolf' edition). This is a bootable, live Linux distribution
that includes a wide range of programs, emulators and tools. Originally we put together
mekOS for
House Euphrates, my
Xbox Live Clan, with a focus on classic retro games and
emulation. Overtime it has gained just about every type of
program you can imagine, so it's not just about games, you can
do just about anything!
What can I do with mekOS ?
Just about anything ! Not just
games! With OpenOffice 3, lots of graphical & multimedia
application and heaps of tools you can take your office and your
desktop with you. And then there are the Emulators, all sorts of
game consoles and old computer systems. The emulators are from
XXXX and you can read about them
here.
- Content creation and
editing : The extensive range of
programs means you can do 99.9%
of the stuff that people do on a computer done. Office
documents, graphics, game models, just about anything. Have a look at the
full list
of programs or read the How to guide
- Security & private web
browsing : You can browse the web on a computer and not
leave a trace using Opera, which is the standard browser
with this release.
- Retro Gaming : Boot
that old Game! Read here.
- Boot that PC with the
dead HD or stuffed OS: Because it's built with Puppy
Linux mekOS can boot form CD or USB
computers with dead hard drives or a scrambled OS.
- Do something useful
with an old PC:
- General Purpose
Toolkit: There are lots of tools that can be used for
all sorts of things!
- Overcome limitations of
work computers : In many work places the computers are
tied up tight with security limitations making them next to
useless. Boot one with mekOS and have fun!
