Poseidon Linux was a Linux operating system based on Ubuntu (originally based on Kurumin), it was maintained by developers located at the Rio Grande Federal University[1] in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and the MARUM institute in Germany.
Poseidon Linux was aimed at the international scientific community, it came with a range of applications for fields such as GIS, 3D visualization, and statistics.[2]
Naming
The name Poseidon was chosen after the Greek God because many of the projects developers worked in Oceanology.
History
The development team stated that after Poseidon 5.0, the distribution would focus on bathymetry, seafloor mapping, and GIS software.[3] Many of the bundled CAD and scientific programs were removed, but may be separately available for download from compatible repositories.
Around 2016 the 3 main Poseidon Linux domains (poseidon.furg.br, es.poseidonlinux.org, en.poseidonlinux.org) seemingly expired and their google site domain rebranded from "the Official Website of Poseidon Linux in English" to "The Official Website of Poseidon Linux"[4]
The project is seemingly dead with the last release having been in 2017.
