Black Lab Linux is a free software, open-source Linux distribution for x86 and x86_64 hardware. It was first released in November 2013 by PC/OpenSystems LLC.[1] Black Lab Linux is based on Ubuntu Linux tailored both for general desktop use [2] [3] and the more technical user and is commercially made available by PC/OpenSystems LLC for business desktops, education facilities as well as parallel computing.[4]

Formerly known as OS/4, Roberto J. Dohnert and the Black Lab Linux team decided to change the name to Black Lab Linux after the USPTO denied his trademark application for OS/4.[5] PC/OpenSystems LLC had acquired the rights to the name Black Lab Linux in 2008 after the acquisition of Terrasoft Solutions by Fixstars [6] Black Lab Linux in its current incarnation does not share any code or platform similarities with Terrasoft Solutions release of Black Lab Linux as Terrasoft Solutions release was for the PowerPC Processor. Fixstars Linux products, Yellowdog Linux and Y-HPC are currently developed under the YellowDog Linux brand.
