Eugenio Paolantonio has announced the availability of the release candidate for Semplice Linux 3.0, a lightweight desktop distribution with Openbox, Linux kernel 3.2, Chromium 22, the GNOME office suite and other lightweight applications, all derived from Debian's unstable branch: "The Semplice project is proud to announce the immediate release of the release candidate (RC) of the 3.0 branch (code-named 'pulse') of Semplice Linux.

Distribution Release: Semplice Linux 2.0.2 |
