After informing Softpedia about the availability of the Linux AIO Ubuntu 16.10 and Linux AIO Ubuntu 14.04.5 Live DVDs, Željko Popivoda from the Linux AIO team is announcing the initial release of Linux AIO Ubuntu Mixture 2017.01.
What’s Linux AIO Ubuntu Mixture 2017.01, you may wonder? Well, let us tell you that it’s something special, something that you’ve never experienced before. If until now Linux AIO provided the community with unique Live ISO images containing the essential flavors of a single GNU/Linux distribution, this changes today.
Linux AIO Ubuntu Mixture is bringing us a bootable Live DVD consisting of untouched, 64-bit and UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) versions of the most popular Ubuntu-based operating systems, including Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus), Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon Edition, elementary OS 0.4 “Loki,” and Zorin OS 12.
First Linux AIO UEFI release
Linux AIO Ubuntu Mixture 2017.01 is also the project’s first UEFI release. Yes, you’re reading that right, the team has finally managed to get UEFI work properly on their unique Live ISO images, so you should expect them to release only UEFI versions of their Linux AIO releases in the coming months.
If you’re reading this and still have no idea what you can do with Linux AIO Ubuntu Mixture 2017.01, we’d like to inform your that you can install the ISO image on a USB pen drive, which you can use to boot each of the included distribution like you would normally do if it were to have them on separate USB sticks or DVD discs.
Basically, this way you’re saving money and time. You don’t have to burn 4 DVDs anymore, or waste 4 USB flash drives, which you’ll have to carry with you whenever you go to new clients to install/showcase various Linux-based operating systems. Best of all, Linux AIO Ubuntu Mixture 2017.01 is available for download today, for free.
Please keep in mind that the download provided by the Linux AIO team for the Linux AIO Ubuntu Mixture 2017.01 release is offered as two separate archives that you’ll need to extract using the 7zip archiver to obtain a usable ISO image, which you can then write on a USB stick or DVD disc.
