Huayra GNU/Linux is a Linux distribution developed by the Argentine national government.[1] It is based on the Debian architecture.[2] In 2013, it was installed on netbooks that were distributed to schools nationally by the Connect Equality (Conectar Igualdad) program run by ANSES, the original developer of Huayra.[2]
The Huayra team develops educational applications designed for students and teachers. There are also other applications that, while not educational, are designed for young kids.
Theme
"The Huayra desktop presents a unique design. Every version of Huayra comes with a unique theme, the latest being "Liso", which includes a GRUB theme, Plymouth, icon pack, GTK2 and GTK3 application themes, window theme, MDM login manager, wallpapers and screensavers, which improve the user experience with Docky and Synapse".[citation needed]
There are various themes like Verde, Mayo or Limbo.
