Development Release: Turbolinux 12 Beta |
| Turbolinux has announced the release of Turbolinux 12 Client edition (marketing name: Turbolinux 2008 Client), a desktop Linux distribution targeted at Japanese-speaking users. This is the first time a Turbolinux release comes in the form of an installable live CD, with the major components being Linux kernel 2.6.24.4 (co-developed with Mandriva at Mambo Labs), KDE 3.5.9 as the default desktop, X.Org 1.4.0.90, glibc 2.7 and Tomoyo Linux as the distribution's security framework. The live CD includes freely distributable software only, but the commercial edition, scheduled for release in September 2008, will include a so-called Net User Package, a collection of value-added applications, such as the ATOK Japanese input method editor, popular media codecs, extra TrueType fonts and the StarSuite office suite. Please read the detailed press release (in Japanese) for further information. The 691 MB Turbolinux 12 beta live CD is available for free download from the distribution's product page, after filling in a simple registration form. The language support on the live CD and in the Anaconda system installer is limited to Japanese only. |

| About Turbolinux |
| Turbolinux distributions are designed from the ground-up specifically for enterprise computing. Turbolinux 7 Server was the first-ever to conform to Internationalization standards to help simplify development of applications that require multiple language support - a critical requirement for software distributed globally. Turbolinux 7 Server also supports the Large File Support (LFS) standard for working with applications that manage or handle up to four terabytes of data - a common requirement for infrastructures serving Fortune 500 and larger companies. Such industrial-strength environments provide the basis upon which PowerCockpit and other Turbolinux innovations were created. |
