Poseidon Linux is an operating system, originally based on Kurumin, now based on Ubuntu (8.04 LTS). It is developed and maintained by a team of young scientists from the Rio Grande Federal University Foundation in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The name ("Poseidon" was the god of the sea in Greek mythology) derives from the large number of oceanologists involved in the development of the system.

  • Poseidon Linux is an operating system, originally based on Kurumin, now based on Ubuntu (8.04 LTS). It is developed and maintained by a team of young scientists from the Rio Grande Federal University Foundation in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The name ("Poseidon" was the god of the sea in Greek mythology) derives from the large number of oceanologists involved in the development of the system. It contains many free software programs used by scientists, such as the Fortran programming language, Kile and Lyx for scientific writing, numerical modeling, 2D/3D/4D visualization, statistics, and several tools that support GIS and mapping, along with day-by-day utilities like OpenOffice. org (with spell-checkers), multimedia, etc. (even some games). Due to its wide acceptance also outside the Portuguese-speaking scientific community and to the eventual shut down of the Kurumin project, the Poseidon project has changed the base distribution to Ubuntu, also to provide versions in Portuguese, Spanish, English and German. The core of Poseidon is always Debian due to the higher stability and great amount of software available into the repository sites. The current running version is 3.1. It was pre-presented at the 9 Free Software International Forum (2008) - FISL9.0. The establishment of the Poseidon Linux foundation has been announced, to steer further development of the distribution.
  • Poseidon es una distribución GNU/Linux para uso académico, científico y educativo, influenciada por el Quantian Linux, antes basada en Kurumin Linux y actualmente en Ubuntu. Es desarrollada y mantenida por un equipo de jóvenes científicos de la Fundação Universidade Federal do Rio Grande en Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil y la UFPEL. El nombre se debe al dios del mar Poseidón de la mitología griega, por la gran cantidad de oceanografos en el equipo de desarrollo de la distribución. Contiene muchos programas de software libre usado por científicos, tal como el lenguaje de programación Fortran, Kile y Lyx para procesar textos científicos, programas de cálculo numérico, visualización 2D/3D/4D, estadística, y varias herramientas de GIS, mapeo, bioinformática y utilitarios cotidianos como OpenOffice. org. Debido a su gran aceptación de la comunidad científica de idioma portugués, el proyecto cambió la base a Ubuntu, y ahora viene en un live-DVD donde se pueden elegir uno de varios idiomas para instalarlo, incluso Español, Inglés, Alemán, Francés, Portugués, etc. Una versión 2.5 fue desarrollada para uso interno antes del lanzamiento de la version 3.0. La versión actual es la 3.0. y está basada en el Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Se ha anunciado la creación de la Fundación Poseidon Linux, que se encargará del desarrollo de la distribución.
  • Poseidon é uma distribuição GNU/Linux brasileira, desenvolvida para uso científico que inclui programas para as áreas de matemática, química, geoprocessamento, estatística, bioinformática entre outras.
