Technalign released its new Pioneer Linux operating system to the community. The first release is the 32-bit version to be followed immediately by the 64-Bit version. The released community edition includes many features found previously in Frontier and is available for download at the www.tapioneer.com. The Pioneer 32- and 64-bit include Firefox 2.0, Thunderbird and Kmail email clients, OpenOffice.org, K3b for CD/DVD burning and other.
Technalign has partnered directly with Canonical and is using Kubuntu/Ubuntu as the base. Pioneer is a derivative of Ubuntu and not a fork.
The commercial versions have minor differences between the free version. Individuals may choose from either the free version or a boxed set available from the over 600 Technalign partners in the US and Canada. The boxed set, of course, comes with support while the free version is supported via the community on the TaPioneer website. CrossOver Office is included with several of the boxed sets allowing the end-user the ability to run their favorite Windows applications.
Pioneer EX, or Extended, will be available in the next several weeks as a beta. Plans for Pioneer on Apple G3, G4, and G5 processors is expected shortly as well.
