Development Release: Epidemic GNU/Linux 3.1 Beta 1 |
 |
The first beta build of Epidemic GNU/Linux 3.1, a Brazilian desktop distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux, is now available for testing. While the development of this new version has largely concentrated on fixing bugs and adding polish, it also brings a handful of new features, including: ESU, a new graphical application that gives the system administrator a choice in user authentication for tasks that require superuser privileges; introduction of GRUB 2 as the default bootloader and ext4 as the default file system; new kernel (version 2.6.29) with the bootsplash patch and support for proprietary graphics drivers and popular wireless cards; update to KDE 4.3 with Compiz Fusion and 3D desktop effects. Read the release announcement (in Portuguese) for further information. Download: epidemic-3.1-b1-1-i686.iso (1,504MB, MD5). |
