Astronomy Linux with AstroDMx Capture

There is a distribution of Linux called 'Astronomy Linux'. It is based on Ubuntu and comes with a number of astronomical packages pre-installed. Our software, AstroDMx Capture for Linux is one of the pre-installed programs. Running AstroDMx Capture in Astronomy Linux still allows you to check for newer versions of AstroDMx Capture and download/install a newer version if required. At the time of writing, the latest version is pre-installed.
Being based on Ubuntu, Gnome 3 is the desktop environment provided with the Astronomy Linux.

Both the standard and debug versions of AstroDMx Capture can be seen on the first page.

Astronomy Linux is being actively maintained and may be the way to move to Linux from another OS and have many astronomy programs immediately available to use.
