Ural Russian schoolboy has created a new OS

Department of Education Nizhny Tagil has ordered the beginning of the school year to install a new operating system in all schools.

Over its 16-year-old Denis Popov worked for almost one year on after-school classes in computer science.

His invention called Denis Bolgenos ("Bolgen" (ispan.) - Fireball, "os" - the operating system). After the city competition of essays, where Popov and his program won first place, the project pupils learned the Education Department of Nizhny Tagil. Operating system they liked. And even more like words of Dennis that he was not going to sell their offspring, and prepared to share it with you for free.

- Next year, all schools in the city expires license Windows, and need considerable funds to prolong it - told the press service of the Education Department of Nizhny Tagil. - In connection with this decision was made in all educational institutions of the city to replace the Windows operating system Denis Popov. Teachers informatics support this proposal and approved.

In his blog on habrahabr.ru Denis Popov recounts the development and sharing plans for the future:

Bolgenos - an operating system created on the basis of Ubuntu Linux. This distribution is used as a base for my operating system. I intend to create a universal operating system contains everything you need for any user profile. This means that the system is suitable for Internet users, office workers (spreadsheets, documents), webmaster, designer and programmer. But the main differences are:

- Comparative size of the system zheskom drive. After installation, the system takes up only 1.7 gigabytes of free space. (Some people have stopped me and suggested the use of existing Distributions eeeXubuntu, Lubuntu and similar, but I need a desktop GNOME, the need for library Qt (some applications require this library, including my programs - Anti-Popova and OgenBrowse (in the near future A package of programs increased and will increase until will not be created entirely your kernel and compiler))

- Beautiful design (themes, icons, wallpaper on your desktop. (Unfortunately, some users are negatively assessed clearance system, but I uchtu this, and version 1.5 will be completely universal design designed for the tastes of all users)).

- Compared to several distributions of Linux systems, as well as with external systems (Windows and others), Bolgenos focuses on a simple office suite programs (since not all users want a complete package of office applications and includes all the features) but you can install and complete package, for example OpenOffice. At the moment, this package includes a simple application: Abiword (word processor, an alternative to MS Word), Gnumeric (spreadsheet, an alternative to MS Excel).

- The majority of developers and programmers, hobbyists, lightweight IDE Geany is the best tool in this area. Since schools are held programming contests, but they are mostly in Pascal, then in the Bolgenos was included this language compiler (fpc - Free Pascal Compiler). For his graphic use, the user can use the IDE Geany, indicating lights Pascal. Also users can use the development environment for library Qt.

- Work with the Internet has become even faster. Now in the Bolgenos is OgenBrowse, web browser developed specifically for distribution on the basis of code Bolgenos Arora (Webkit), supporting the regime of tabs, playing Flash animation, javascript, save passwords and private mode. As the torrent client uses a convenient Deluge.

Future plans:

- Free office suite Office of Communication (several versions: full and lite)

- Append existing browser - OgenBrowse - get rid of the code Arora, switch completely to your. Eliminate the recently identified errors browser and optimize code.

- Anti Popov - to make a fully completed antiviral package allows you to protect your computer from viruses, intrusions and rootkits.

- QuadBDE - desktop environment which will replace GNOME (almost finalized, but runs as a regular application). It uses Qt 4.6, and gains in productivity compared to GNOME.

There will be a new version of Bolgenos Education, designed for educational institutions, and contains the full range of educational programs.

Draft Bolgenos - a project with long term support, will allow you to look at the world differently. Ubuntu - is well convenient, but Bolgenos be the best substitute for this system. Windows - also a good system, but unfortunately she paid (not small money is worth its license), as well as many errors during system operation.
