Ubuntu-based project that is free and open-source software.
If you're looking for a customized operating system that caters to engineers and engineering application developers, TOSS is definitely worth considering. This project was developed at the Computer Science and Engineering Department of Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, and is based on the core of Ubuntu with minimum changes to the default Ubuntu Kernel. This means users can keep the popular and useful features of Ubuntu while enjoying a completely different look and feel.
Aside from its eye-catching user interfaces, TOSS is designed primarily for student developers like those who developed it. It comes with gcc-build-essential, OpenSSL, PHP, Java, gEda, xCircuit, KLogic, KTechlab, and various engineering software that are essential for developers. With this many pre-installed software, users can storm into engineering application development right away without having to go through the hassle of installation and initialization.
TOSS is particularly aimed at engineers and engineering application developers. What sets it apart is the variety of engineering software it supports. By default, TOSS has several software pre-installed such as gEDA, xCircuit, NASM, Kicad, QCAD, Electric, KLogic, KTechlab, as well as compilers and interpreters for C, C++, Java, Perl, and Python.
One of the software mentioned above is gEDA, an ECAD application suite orientated toward printed circuit board design. Meanwhile, xCircuit is a generic drawing program specifically for making circuit diagrams that emphasizes single character macros. NASM, a Netwide Assembler, supports various object file formats and output plain binary files. Kicad, on the other hand, is an open-source software for creating electronic schematic diagrams and printed circuit board artworks. QCAD is a multi-platform 2D CAD system aimed at mechanical engineers, while Electric is an advanced electrical CAD system that can handle various circuit designs.
KLogic is perfect for building and simulating digital circuits easily as well as providing an easy way to build circuits that contain standard components. Finally, KTechlab provides real-time electronics simulation and PIC microcontroller debugging.
Nevertheless, to cater to day-to-day computing needs, TOSS comes with other software such as Firefox web browser, VLC media player, Rhythmbox audio player, Kopete IM client, Picasa image viewer, Google desktop search, and many more.
In conclusion, TOSS is an excellent option for developers who need a customized operating system that comes pre-installed with engineering software. Its numerous features make the system suitable for engineers and developers who need a stable and robust platform to work with.
