Development Release: SimplyMEPIS 7.0 Prebeta |
| Warren Woodford has announced the availability of the first development snapshot of SimplyMEPIS 7.0, now based on Debian GNU/Linux: "SimplyMEPIS 6.9.51prebeta is a preview of upcoming SimplyMEPIS 7. MEPIS has discontinued using Ubuntu binary packages in favor of a combination of MEPIS packaged binaries based on Debian and Ubuntu source code which is combined with a Debian stable OS core and extra packages from Debian package pools. The prebeta includes a 2.6.22 kernel, Debian Etch core, KDE 3.5.7, Firefox 2.0.0.5, Thunderbird 2.0.0.4, and OpenOffice.org 2.2.1. This is an early release with many rough edges. In particular the boot splash does not run reliably, some extra kernel drivers are not yet compiled for the new kernel, some GUI components are not themed for MEPIS, and the prebeta has had very limited testing." Here is the full release announcement. Download: SimplyMEPIS-CD_6.9.51prebeta_32.iso (667MB, MD5), SimplyMEPIS-CD_6.9.51prebeta_64.iso (679MB, MD5). |
