Hello friends and loved ones, The time has come for us to announce the retirement of the Qimo project. We haven’t actively developed in several years, as you know, because life got in the way, as life is wont to do. When we started the project, there was a need for a simple, unobtrusive interface […]

A couple of weeks ago, ZaReason sent us a shiny new Invenire 1220 running Qimo 2.0 for a review. This is the first time I’ve ever seen Qimo running on a machine I hadn’t put it on, and the fact that it was like that out of the box was one of the coolest experiences I’ve had. Having Qimo […]
We were very excited to hear this week that ZaReason has a new PC model geared towards children and young adults, and that you can get it running Qimo 2.0!

We're very excited to announce that Zareason, renowned distributor of desktops and laptops running Ubuntu, will begin offering systems pre-configured with Qimo this holiday season. This is the third and largest vendor to add Qimo to their lineup, and they bring a large selection of very high-quality custom systems desktops, laptops and netbooks.
We have been working with PC vendors to provide computers suitable for children that come with Qimo already installed. We were first approached by Linucity.com after Scale 8x, and they immediately started offering both a desktop and laptop customized with Qimo at an affordable price. Just last month we also added Homebuilt PC to our list of vendors, they […]
