Emmabuntüs is a Linux distribution derived from Ubuntu/Debian and designed to facilitate the repacking of computers donated to humanitarian organizations[6] like the Emmaüs Communities.[7][8][9][10][11]

The name Emmabuntüs is a portmanteau of Emmaüs and Ubuntu.

Features

  • Emmabuntüs 2 can be installed, in its entirety, without an Internet connection as all of the required packages are included within the disk image. The disk image includes packages for multiple languages and also optional non-free codecs that the user can choose whether to install or not.[12]
  • One gigabyte of RAM is required for the live mode of Emmabuntüs 2,[13] however for a full installation it requires at least 512 megabytes of RAM.[14]
  • An installation script automatically performs some installation steps (user name, password predefined). The script allows you to choose whether or not to install non-free software, whether to uninstall unused languages to reduce updates.[15]
  • Emmabuntüs 2 includes browsers plug-ins for parental control.[16]
  • There are three docks to choose from to simplify access to the software and are defined by the type of user (children, beginners and "all").[17]

Desktop environment

The desktop environment is Xfce with Cairo-Dock. LXDE is also included and can be optionally installed.[18]
