Impi Linux is South Africa's first desktop Linux distribution.
Created by the Gauteng Linux Users Group, Impi Linux
(Impi is a Zulu word for describing a group of warriors) is mainly based on Debian
GNU/Linux with components borrowed from Knoppix and GNOPPIX.
The desktop window manager is GNOME and the OS comes complete with OpenOffice.org as the
office productivity suite, Cubit as the business accounting application and Mozilla as the
web browser. Impi Linux was created from the best software available in the open source world,
to give South African users a stable, virus free and very cost effective business operating
system. Impi Linux is not just an operating system, it comes bundled with every application
that you need to run your business. Impi Linux will eventually support all of the eleven
official languages in South Africa.
