same as linux live os BOSS do come with live trial of OS if you seems its fine with your environment then you may install it as Indian i am proud of it and i would say at least once give a shot might take few hr only
you can download it form its website
that is http://www.bosslinux.in/
you can also install it on a virtual machine
you might be wondering who s going to use it but let me informe you organisation have started using it
1) Indian Banks are upgrading their ATMs to BOSS.
As previously we reported that Microsoft is pulling out their Windows XP support after 8 April. Most of the ATM’s around the world are still running on Windows XP but If they still stick to it then the ATM’s might be hacked and Hackers may steal some important data and transfer some money.
Many banks have arranged to pay Microsoft millions of dollar but not in India ! India will move there ATM’s to BOSS Linux (Bharat Operating System Solutions) which is an open source and free of cost and not as vulnerable as Windows XP. India has 115,000 ATM’s across the country but the end of Windows XP will not affect them as they’re prepared to transfer the ATM’s to linux when Microsoft will end its Windows XP support.
