Spri /ˈspr/ (originally Icebuntu[1]) was a lightweight Ubuntu-based Linux distribution.[2] It used the IceWM window manager and was especially suitable for low-end hardware with limited resources.[3][4] It was provided as an installable Live CD.

Name

Spri's name is derived from the English word spry - meaning active, nimble and/or energetic.[5]

Features

Spri's main objective was to provide a minimal yet functional operating system. Included programs: a web browser, a file browser, a terminal emulator and a text editor. It replaced the default applications of a standard Ubuntu install with lighter alternatives.

Applications

The default applications in Spri were replaced with other GTK based applications that are lighter and have a smaller install size than those in Ubuntu.[6]

Ubuntu Default Replacement
Mozilla Firefox Midori
Nautilus PCManFM
GNOME Terminal Roxterm
Totem Gnome-Mplayer
Rhythmbox Listen
gedit leafpad
