Delta, CO December 4, 2006:
Technalign, Inc. has announced it has released its new Pioneer Linux operating
system to the community. The first release is the 32-bit version to be followed
immediately by the 64-Bit Version. The community edition includes many features
found previously in Frontier and is available for download at the www.tapioneer.com
website. Both Pioneer 32 and 64 include Firefox 2.0, Thunderbird and Kmail email
clients, OpenOffice.org, and many others such as K3b for CD/DVD burning.
"Pioneer Linux provides
users with the next generation of Linux Operating Systems for the desktop,"
claims Technalign CEO Dianne Ursini. "Pioneer is our next step in a simple to
use Linux desktop and we hope to continuously provide additional utilities in
the future".
Technalign has partnered
directly with Canonical and is using Kubuntu/Ubuntu as the base. Pioneer is
a derivative of Ubuntu and not a fork.
The commercial versions
have minor differences between the free version. Individuals may choose from
either the free version or a boxed set available from the over 600 Technalign
partners in the US and Canada. The boxed set, of course, comes with support
while the free version is supported via the community on the TaPioneer website.
CrossOver Office is included with several of the boxed sets allowing the end-user
the ability to run their favorite Windows applications.
Pioneer Linux is targeted
at new Linux users as well as experienced Linux users, and provides compatibility
with many existing, proprietary applications, Pioneer enables migration to Linux
with a minimum of effort. By running the most popular desktop Office suite,
users can keep their data safe and secure, and initially not learn a new application.
Pioneer EX, or Extended,
will be available in the next several weeks as a beta. Plans for Pioneer on
Apple G3, G4, and G5 processors is expected shortly as well.
