Office Productivity

With Ubuntu, we're proud to offer the entire OpenOffice suite, which is fully compatible with Microsoft Office and practically identical in interface.
• Word Processor: Open, create, and save Microsoft Word (.doc) files. Even export as PDFs!
• Spreadsheet: OpenOffice Calc feels just like Microsoft Excel and, of course, can handle .xls files with ease.
• Presentations: OpenOffice Impress enables you to make Powerpoint presentations, which you can play right from the E2 by attaching a projector to its VGA port.
• Create and Edit PDFs: No need to purchase Adobe Acrobat Professional, when you can create and edit PDFs on our system.
• Email Client: Mozilla Thunderbird offers similar functionality to Outlook and serves as a powerful local email program.

Get online, fast

• Plug-and-Play Internet: Each E2 is pre-configured to connect online — just plug in an Ethernet cable or add a USB Wi-Fi dongle (or even a USB modem).
• Great web browsing: Firefox 3 offers an advanced alternative to Internet Explorer, complete with tabbed browsing, faster performance, an RSS reader, and hundreds of great plugins, such as Adblock Plus, which removes online ads. For users with slow connections, we have Dillo — a speedy browser that strips away videos and flash and helps load pages quickly.
• Instant Messaging: MSN, Yahoo! IM, AIM, Jabber, ICQ, and IRC Chat accounts can all be accessed with the instant messaging program Pidgin.

Multimedia

• Edit Photos: The E2 now boasts F-Spot, an intuitive program for importing, editing, and managing photos.
• Make Art: The GIMP is comparable to Adobe Photoshop in capability and is ideal for designing brochures or other complex graphical documents.
• Play Audio and Videos: Never download codecs again! Our powerful media players include every codec and the E2 is powerful enough to play full-screen video!
• Connect your iPod: Connect as many different iPods as you like with Floola and access their files instantly!
• Edit Music: Audacity is a powerful sound-editing tool similar to Adobe Audition.
• Build and Destroy Cities: The original SimCity is now open source and included on every E2.
• FreeCiv: Based on Sid Meier's Civilization series, this is a popular empire-building strategy game.
• Electric Sheep: The world's greatest screensaver, Electric Sheep harnesses the processing power of thousands of computers to create unique and unbelievable patterns.

Easily Add Nearly 25,000 Programs

• Synaptic Package Manager is a graphical directory of the nearly 25,000 programs officially supported by Ubuntu. Browse through categories, read descriptions, and install additional software without having to ever use installation CDs or face annoying Setup Wizards. And you'll also find important programs such as Skype that we're not allowed to pre-install for licensing reasons.

Optional Local Wikipedia Selection

• 4625 Articles with 24000 Pictures: For users in areas without constant internet access, we've included a selection of articles hand-picked for the quality of their writing and educational value by the charity SOS Children. Totaling 14 million words, it opens in a web browser and doesn't require an internet connection. It takes up a bit of space and isn't for everyone, so email us if you want it added. You can try out the interface at http://schools-wikipedia.org/.

Quickly Connects to Windows Terminal Server

• Remote Desktop, Faster than You've Ever Seen: We recognize that many businesses rely on Microsoft applications and want to keep those apps on a server. That's we include a fantastic Remote Desktop application that lets you log in to Windows TS 2003 in about 2 seconds, providing customers with a Dual OS system that offers Linux tools but can serve as a Windows thin client as well.
• A Better Windows TS Client: Why rely on a bulky desktop that drains power, takes up space, and costs more when all you're doing is connect to TS 2003? We can offer our E2 or E2 All-in-One with a custom OS that includes embedded Firefox 3 and a fast RDP Client.

Kiosk Mode

• Locked-Down Web Kiosk for Internet Cafes, Hotels, and Retail: Want to make sure users can't mess around your settings? Want to set up a kiosk that only goes to certain sites? We can provide the E2 and E2 Profile with an OS that boots in less than a minute and only lets users browse the web. And we can easily set up whitelists so they can only go to certain sites (or blacklists that bar certain sites), ideal for using the E2 to connect to a specific web portal.
