'''Super OS''' (formerly: Super Ubuntu) is a [[gratis|freely-available]] [[Linux distribution]]. It is a [[software remastering|remastered]] version of [[Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu]] focused on an out-of-the-box experience and "offline freedom". The latest release is based on Ubuntu 11.10, which reached end of life on May 9, 2013.

==Tools and software==
Super OS includes a graphical way to run executable files and scripts with [[
Super_OS#App_Runner|App runner]], regarding multimedia support it is prepackaged with support for MP3 files and [[DVD-Video|video-DVDs]]. Also included are ([[Opera (web browser)|Opera]], [[Google Chrome]]), [[Adobe Flash Player]], and more communication software ([[aMSN]] and [[Skype]]), [[Wine (software)|Wine]], the [[GUI for Uncomplicated Firewall]], and other software installed by default.

=== App Runner ===
''App Runner'' is a script included in ''Super OS'' that allows most executable programs or scripts to be launched without having to use the command line. [[Lifehacker]] ran an article about it, saying "App Runner would come in handy" and "there's plenty of scripts and closed-source apps that this would be useful for".<ref>[http://lifehacker.com/5224675/app-runner-makes-launching-linux-executables-easier lifehacker.com/5224675/app-runner-makes-launching-linux-executables-easier]</ref>

===Live USB===
Super OS 9.04 saw the introduction of ''cd2usb'', a windows tool to create [[Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu]] and ''Super OS'' [[Live USB]]s. The program was included in the DVD of ''Super OS'' from version 9.04 up to version 10.04.,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS_9.04</ref><ref>http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS_9.10</ref><ref>http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS_10.04 |title=Super OS 9.04 |publisher=hacktolive.org |date=September 13, 2012 |accessdate=July 24, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS_9.10 |title=Super OS 9.10 |publisher=hacktolive.org |date=September 13, 2012 |accessdate=July 24, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS_10.04 |title=Super OS 10.04 |publisher=hacktolive.org |date=September 13, 2012 |accessdate=July 24, 2013}}</ref> In the 10.10 version, however, cd2usb was replaced by [[Ubuntu Live USB creator|usb-creator]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS_10.10 |title=Super OS 10.10 |publisher=hacktolive.org |date=September 13, 2012 |accessdate=July 24, 2013}}</ref>

===RUNZ Framework===
The ''RUNZ Framework'' is a tool that allows the use of [[portable apps]] and something called ''SuperDebs'' (an installer with a .deb file + its dependencies that can be installed offline, created by ''SuperDeb Creator'') in ''Super OS''. It is included in Super OS since version 9.10.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hacktolive.org/wiki/RUNZ |title=RUNZ |publisher=hacktolive.org |date=September 11, 2012 |accessdate=July 24, 2013}}</ref>

==Software repository==
In addition to the official Ubuntu repositories, Super OS also includes its own repositories, which include third-party software like [[Adobe Reader]], [[Skype]], [[Real Player]], [[TrueCrypt]], and [[Google Chrome]], but also include tools/software developed by ''hacktolive'', like App Runner, and RUNZ.<ref>[http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS_repository Super OS repository]</ref>

== Reception and adoption ==
(contracted; show full)

{{As of|2011|07}}, Super OS ranked 33rd on the twelve-month page hit ranking of [[DistroWatch]].<ref>[http://distrowatch.com/stats.php?section=popularity DistroWatch - Linux Distributions - Facts and Figures]</ref> However, a high page hit ranking on Distrowatch only reflects interest in the distribution, and not necessarily a large user base.
