UserLinux is a Linuxdistribution that aims to provide businesses with a freely available, high quality operating system accompanied by certifications, service, and support options designed to encourage productivity and security while reducing overall costs.
The new version of Linux, called UserLinux, is being proposed by open-source sage Bruce Perens, who claims to have the backing of some of the world's largest companies, across a number of business sectors.
UserLinux, which will be paid for with multimillion-dollar donations from Perens' corporate backers, will be free for unlimited use, and will be certified by large computer makers.
The companies sponsoring UserLinux are eager for an alternative to Microsoft products, which they see as expensive, buggy, vulnerable to viruses and difficult to deploy and maintain, said Perens, speaking at the first meeting of the Desktop Linux Consortium.

The project was initiated by Bruce Perens in late 2003.
