Super OS (formerly: Super Ubuntu) is a version of Ubuntu 11.10 with added software and tools, with the goal of making it more usable, in particular for users without an internet connection.

Features:

Based on Ubuntu 11.10 (see the Ubuntu 11.10 release notes)

Improved multi-language support, with additional translations and language-specific fonts. 70 languages are supported.

Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera, all of them with support for webm and Adobe Flash content

Local repository with ATI, Nvidia and Broadcom drivers so they can be installed offline (see bellow), ndiswrapper (for installation of Windows WiFi drivers), sl-modem-daemon and wvdial (PPP dialer)

Additional Multimedia Support: VLC, support for DVD-playback, MP3 support and for other formats, like QuickTime video, Windows Media Video, Flash Video, DivX, Xvid, (.mov, .wmv, .flv, .avi, etc...) etc...

Portable Applications available (RUNZ included)

Programs and scripts are easier to run: App Runner is included

Mount tar.gz/.zip/.rar/.iso files with File mounter

Additional software: Audacity, Ubuntu Tweak, aMSN, Skype, LibreOffice, Blender, OpenShot,PiTiVi, MyPaint, Pinta, Inkscape, Pidgin, GIMP, Synaptic, VirtualBox, Thunderbird, Gdebi,OpenJDK

Super OS has it's own repository, in addition to the official Ubuntu repositories

Live USB creator (usb-creator) right from the DVD menu (see second image)

Improved Virtual Machine support, with drivers for VirtualBox and basic drivers for VMware (if you use Super OS on VMware Workstation/Player, it is recommended to install the full/normal VMware tools)

Wubi, allowing easy installation alongside Windows

The ISOs are now Hybrid ISOs, making them compatible with dd and Image Writer for Windows

(64-bits version) Improved compatibility with 32-bits applications: “multi-arch” and ia32-libs allow the installation of 32-bit applications on 64-bit systems

Designed to be very usable offline

Super OS 11.10 released on 13thSept,2012

New Change log -

*Improved multi-language support with additional translations and language-specific fonts

*Improved Virtual Machine support (VirtualBox and VMware)

*Added programs: Audacity, Blender, OpenShot, PiTiVi, MyPaint, Pinta, Inkscape, Pidgin, GIMP, Synaptic, VirtualBox, Thunderbird, Gdebi, OpenJDK

*Removed: Java (replaced with OpenJDK)

All this and the ISOs are relatively small: 1.8 GB for 32-bit and 2 GB for 64-bit

PS: Java was removed from the Ubuntu repositories (blame Oracle), so I included OpenJDK. I know some of you need the original Java to use some banking sites, etc… I will try to re-add the original Java client in Super OS 12.04.
