Live CD
Utkarsh LiveCD is based on Gnoppix LiveCD. Gnoppix is a GNU/Linux LiveCD distribution and is a highly modular system. One has to just place the CD in the CD drive and select CD as the first boot device.

When the computer is restarted, the software on the CD takes charge of the system. When one removes CD and restarts the computer, it reverts to its default status and original operating system.

Utkarsh is an operating system on LiveCD. Thus there is no need to install Utkarsh on hard disk. Utkarsh LiveCD is a completely safe and robust operating system.

GNOME Localization (L10N):
Gnome is the graphical system of GNU/Linux. Gnome includes free software and applications like text editors, games, graphical programs, programming tools etc. Utkarsh localization of Gnome is done for the versions 2.4, 2.6 and 2.8. Utkarsh team has translated more than 17,000 strings from GNOME to Gujarati. To check the current status of Gujarati translation, kindly visit the Gnome website.

OpenOffice
OpenOffice is a free office suite. OpenOffice localization was the biggest challenge for the Utkarsh team so far. OpenOffice has more than 25000 strings and a complex localization process. This was indeed challenging and required high level of focal energies. Sun Microsystems supports the OpenOffice project.

Mozilla / Firefox:
Mozilla is a web browser. It is another high quality free software and is likely to emerge as the biggest threat to Internet Explorer. Utkarsh team has started on Mozilla localization and the next version of Utkarsh will include the same.

Gujarati Fonts:
Utkarsh team has designed "Rekha" and "Aakar" Gujarati fonts. These are basic style Unicode fonts and available for free download.
