Ubuntu Christian Edition is an installable LiveCD based on the very popular Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope). It is a free, open source operating system created for Christians. The main goal of this distribution is to bring the security and power of Ubuntu to Christians. It can be used for both server and desktop environments.

Ubuntu Christian Edition includes more than 16,000 pieces of software, but the core desktop installation fits on a single CD. Apart from the usual applications found in a regular Ubuntu distribution, this one contains GnomeSword, a top-of-the-line Bible study program for Linux, based on the Sword Project and several modules.
