Poseidon Linux was designed as a friendly and complete desktop, based on open source software, and aimed at the Brazilian/International academic and scientific community. This operating system is based on Ubuntu since its version 3.0 (before ir was based on Kurumin/Knoppix Linux) and was inspired by Quantian Linux. It offers several specific tools in the areas of GIS, 3D Visualization, Mathematics, Statistics, Genetics, Biochemistry and several other fields of research. It also has all the software expected in a modern desktop such as a complete office suite (with spell checker for several languages), web browsers, e-mail readers, instant messaging, several multimedia packages, text and HTML editors, etc.
With Poseidon Linux 3.0 they started a new era for the project, since the new release supports Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, English and German. With Poseidon 3.1 they expanded the included languages to have also Greek, Italian and French, and, also, the team had announced -for the very first time- two versions: for 32 and 64 bits computers.
