Description
openmamba livecd is a live release of the openmamba operating system distributed in
ISO format so that you can make a CD or DVD with it, then the system can be used
simply by booting (or rebooting) your computer after inserting the medium in the CD/DVD reader.
It also provides an installation interface for system installation on fixed disk that
lets you use openmamba while maintaining the operating system pre-installed in

system tool openmamba USB installation.
It works on almost any Personal Computer: notebook, desktop and server.
Who is it for
