Default software

The default software selection contains several well-known applications like Firefox and GIMP. Here is a list of the default software:

• Mozilla Firefox, the default web browser
• OpenOffice.org, the default office program
• Pidgin, the default IM client
• Banshee, the default music player
• Totem Movie Player, the default video player
• Brasero, the default optical disc burning software
• GIMP, the default photo editor
• Transmission, the default BitTorrent application
• Evolution, the default e-mail client

• Cheese, the default app to take webcam pictures

It is believed that moonOS is a fork of Linux Mint. moonOS has a similar user interface as Mint, and moonOS' IRC client opens the Mint help channel when launched.

MoonOS 4 "Neak"

With the release of Neak, the moonOS team uses the GoboHide tool from GoboLinux to compile a Linux kernel that uses a file hierarchy exclusive to moonOS. The new file system is designed to be easy and clutter-free. This release also brought various changes, including: updated kernel (a 200 line patch), Synapse for easy application/file searching, the switch to GNOME (from Enlightenment), and the new AppShell framework. The AppShell framework is a newly created way of installing applications in Linux in a way similar to OS X. Under this system, applications can be installed on the system by dragging the corresponding .appshell file into the AppFiles folder.
