Voyager Live 16.04 offers a smooth linux adventure : Review

Voyager Live 16.06 is a Xubuntu 16.04 based GNU/Linux distribution and live media with Xfce Desktop environment. Voyager Live 16.06 comes with applications AWN(Avant Window Navigator) - a dock like application and conky - a program that displays useful information on background to improve user experience.

It will receive three years of security updates.
