Özet

ECEbuntu is a free, easily distributable, customized operating system based on Ubuntu 12.04 long term support (LTS) designed for electrical/electronic and computer engineering (ECE) students. ECEbuntu is aimed at universities and students as it represents a cohesive environment integrating more than 30 pre-installed software and packages all catering to undergraduate coursework offered in ECE and Computer Science (CS) programs. ECEbuntu supports a wide range of tools for programming, circuit analysis, printed circuit board design, mathematical and numerical analysis, network analysis, and RF and microwave transmitter design. ECEbuntu is free and effective alternative to the existing costly and copyrighted software packages. ECEbuntu attempts to reduce the duplication of efforts on building software workstations in laboratories and is intended to serve as a good teaching resource in a classroom setting.
