The Linux Genealogy Desktop CD 4.0 (Released: 2008-06-26) (The CD is available only for the x86 architecture.)

Includes the following pre-installed genealogy software:

As well as GraphViz the program that draws pretty charts and graphs in GRAMPS.

This Live CD is based on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) Desktop CD.

In addition to the Live Session, this disk also allows permanent installation of Linux and genealogical software on your computer's hard drive. This way you achieve adequate speed and the ability to save your data, and can do real work with your Linux software. Everything is similar to the Live Session, except that this is a permanent setup.
