SaxeonOS comes in two versions, a Desktop and a Server LiveCD. After booting from the LiveCD, you get the login screen. On the Desktop edition it's XDM and on the Desktop Server edition it's GDM. Please use the following username/password combinations to login:
User: root, Password: root
User: demo, Password: demo
User: demo1, Password: demo1
User: demo2, Password: demo2
The SaxenOS Desktop Server seems like being the first working Live CD with a running LTSP Linux Terminal Server. This means you can serve thin client PCs from a LiveCD. If you like it, SaxeonOS can also be installed on your hard drive with the help of a very simple to use Installer Wizard.
