'''Quelitu''' is a free [[lightweight Linux distribution|lightweight computer operating system]] based on [[Lubuntu]] and [[Bodhi Linux]]. It is developed by Waves of the Future (a micro-thinktank/green publisher) within the context of an environmental project aiming at increasing the recycling and reuse of computers worldwide.
'''Quelitu''' is a [[lightweight Linux distribution|lightweight]] [[Linux distribution]] based on [[Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu]], that uses the [[Enlightenment window manager|Enlightenment]] [[Window_manager|window manager]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/01/bodhi-linux-review-incredibly-good.html |author=Manuel Jose |publisher=Tech Drive-in |title=Bodhi Linux Review |accessdate=2011-05-06}}</ref> The philosophy for the distribution is to provide a minimal base system so that users can populate it with the software they want. Thus, by default it only includes software that is essential to most Linux users, including a file browser, a web browser and a terminal emulator. It does not include software or features that its developers deem as unnecessary. To make populating systems with software easy, Bodhi Linux developers maintain an online database of lightweight software that can be installed in one click via [[apturl]].

Quelitu is a free lightweight computer operating system based on Lubuntu and Bodhi Linux. It is developed by Waves of the Future (a micro-thinktank/green publisher) within the context of an environmental project aiming at increasing the recycling and reuse of computers worldwide.

Because it is user friendly, fast, and lightweight, Quelitu is well suited for refurbishing old computers. However, since it is scalable and provides access to the broad and free Ubuntu software repositories, it is also a full-fledged operating system suitable for new computers.[1][2]

Performance & Specifications

Quelitu offers a choice of two desktop environments at installation. The default LXDE interface (Quelitu Lxde) is lightweight, simple, and user friendly, making it a good choice for new Windows and Linux users. The equally lightweight Enlightenment interface (Quelitu Jazz) is more advanced and provides a richer experience with desktop effects and animations similar to those of Bodhi Linux.

Quelitu can be installed on computers having as little as 128 MB RAM using an alternate image,[3] but the regular CD installer requires a minimum of 384 MB RAM for installation.

The developer's website provides statistics showing Quelitu's RAM Usage to be significantly below that of other comparable lightweight Ubuntu-based distributions (Watt OS, Zorin Light, Lubuntu, Linuxmint LXDE, and Ultimate Edition Light), but those have yet to be confirmed independently. A lower RAM Usage is indicative of a faster operating system.[4]

Awards

Quelitu was the recipient of FamousWhy.com's Editor's Pick award in 2010.[5]
