The desktop.

  • Openbox rocks.

    The semplice desktop is clean. No panel applets, no indicators, just a simple bottom panel with the window list, a tray and a clock. In semplice you won't find any desktop icon - but you can add them by simply editing a configuration file.

  • Dynamic menus.

    Semplice uses Alan to improve the user experience. Alan creates the openbox menu on-the-fly. Moreover, it can be translated and dynamic.

Web.

  • Only the best for your web experience.

    We have chosen only the best lightweight apps for your needs.

  • Surf the web.

    Chromium will guide you throughout the web.

  • Read your emails, comfortably.

    Claws Mail is your default postman, and will help you reading and writing your emails.

Office.

  • The best open-source office apps.

    The semplice team has chosen the best lightweight apps for office: Abiword, Gnumeric and ePDFviewer.

  • Word processor.

    Abiword is the default word processor in semplice.

  • Spreadsheet.

Debian.

  • A rock-solid base.

    Semplice is based on Debian. Debian is one of the biggest GNU/Linux distribution, with more than 29,000 packages. Semplice is based on the "unstable" branch of Debian, which guarantees the bleeding-edgeness of the whole system.

  • Fast.

    Semplice uses lightweight applications such as Openbox, PCManFM and many others. All you need is a 486 processor (or better) and at least 384 MB of RAM (to boot the live system).
