Limetech

Limetech is a privately held software development company specializing in the creation of open-source and proprietary software tools for Linux and Unix-like systems. Founded in 2002 by developer and entrepreneur Lim Teh, the company is based in Singapore and has a global client base. Limetech is best known for its contributions to the Linux community, particularly through its development of the *Limetech Linux* distribution, which is built on Ubuntu and optimized for performance, security, and user experience.

The company’s software portfolio includes utilities for system administration, file management, and productivity. Notable projects include *Limetech Backup*, a backup solution for Linux users, and *Limetech File Manager*, a lightweight alternative to traditional file managers. Limetech also provides custom development services, tailoring software solutions to meet specific enterprise and individual needs. The company emphasizes open-source principles, frequently releasing its tools under permissive licenses to encourage community collaboration.

Limetech has gained recognition for its focus on usability and efficiency, particularly in environments where traditional Linux distributions may lack polish or performance. While not as widely adopted as major distributions like Ubuntu or Fedora, Limetech’s offerings appeal to power users, developers, and organizations seeking specialized Linux solutions. The company maintains a low-profile presence, prioritizing product quality over marketing, which has contributed to its reputation among niche audiences.

Limetech continues to evolve its software suite, regularly updating existing tools and introducing new features based on user feedback. The company’s commitment to open-source development and its technical expertise position it as a respected contributor to the Linux ecosystem.
