Welcome to LEARNIX

LEARNIX is a Linux distribution which runs off CD-ROM. That means there is no need to install LINUX on a computer for you to be able to run powerful UNIX software. LEARNIX is based on the popular Ubuntu GNU/LINUX distribution, with added software for building simulations, namely Radiance and ESP-r. LEARNIX is compiled by the Low Energy Architecture Research uNit, LEARN, of the London Metropolitan University.
