TOSS:

TOSS (TCE Operating System Services) is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution and as claimed by the developer TOSS was developed targeting the student developer’s community.

Currently, TOSS has reached version 2.0 with major updates.

About the development team:

This is a project developed at Computer Science and Engineering Department of Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai.  Surprisingly, all the team members of TOSS project are highly-skilled student developers. The team includes, lead developers Mr. Sarvesh Ghautham and Ms. Sowmy Narayan along with designers Mr. Saravanan.P.S and Mr. Raghavendhra. This team of four also supports a 700 member GNU/Linux Users Group of TCE. In their website, a member of TOSS development team claims “TOSS is not just another spin-off from Ubuntu. The core of Ubuntu has been retained with minimal changes to the default Linux Kernel enabling users to retain its more popular and useful features while giving the users, a completely different look and feel. Despite the eye-candy offered with a variety of user-friendly interfaces, TOSS mainly targets student developer’s community. TOSS is fully open source. Our motto is “Open source Open minds Open future” and we fully support third party efforts to improvise TOSS. No part of the OS is locked by any means.” READ THE FULL ARTICLE >>

According to a research done by Fasthosts, one in every five businesses have at least an item of their website plagiarized by another company.
