StartOS 5.1 is a bootleg Ubuntu 12.04 LTS edition, which was created by YLMF. It released on January 17, 2013, and was added to the archive on February 14, 2022.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ISO. This is the second release under the "StartOS" brand, as the first release to have the branding was 5.0, which is not in the archive. Just about everything you can think of has been completely redesigned as part of the "StartOS" rebranding to have a completely different look, straying as far away from the original purpose of "YLMF OS" as possible.

The OS now uses a new desktop environment, called YMenu 5.0 (as of this release), which is a rebranded version of GNOME 2.32.1. It also comes with its own app store (called the Software Center), which seems to be entirely custom-written, along with its own tutorial (in HTML format).

It comes with an updated boot selector, where you can access DiskGenius 4.0.1 in DOS.
