GoboLinux
GoboLinux is a modular Linux distribution - it organizes the programs in a new, logical way. Instead of having parts of a program thrown at /usr/bin, other parts at /etc and yet more parts thrown at /usr/share/something/or/another, each program gets its own directory tree, keeping them all neatly separated and allowing the user to see everything that's installed in the system and which files belong to which programs in a simple and obvious way.

Development Release: SimplyMEPIS 11.0 RC2 |
|
Warren Woodford has announced the availability of the second release candidate for SimplyMEPIS 11.0, a user-friendly, Debian-based distribution featuring the KDE 4.5 desktop: "SimplyMEPIS 11.0 RC2, aka 10.9.96, has been uploaded. This is considered to be a minor update. The primary change since RC1 is the update to a 2.6.36.4 kernel that includes an experimental version of the Aufs driver, which makes it possible to run the DVD with a read/write file system. Automatic X configuration should work better with older NVIDIA cards. Automatic fstab configuration should produce a better default entry for NTFS partitions. The default panel configuration has been tweaked, hopefully, for the final time." Here is the brief release announcement.

This MEPIS beta is primarily based on the Debian 'Squeeze' final but with a 2.6.36.2 kernel, KDE 4.5.1, and Firefox 4.0b10.' Woodford continued: "After the release of the first beta, it became apparent that there were lingering issues related to booting the CD to a graphical login.

The first beta release of SimplyMEPIS 11.0, a user-friendly, Debian-based desktop distribution with the latest KDE desktop, is ready for testing: "MEPIS has released SimplyMEPIS 10.9.88, the beta 1 of MEPIS 11. The beta is available from MEPIS and public mirrors. Warren Woodford reported on the progress in the 11.0 release cycle: 'This beta includes a 2.6.36 kernel. We are using an early Debianized build of KDE 4.5 but we're hoping the excellent Debian KDE Team will have a newer version available in the Debian pools before MEPIS 11.0 goes final.' Warren continued: 'We were fortunate that Firefox 4.0b8 became available in time to be included in the beta. That seemed to be an important addition, so 11.0 will be more compatible with HTML 5 web content.'" Here is the brief release announcement.

Warren Woodford has announced the availability of the second alpha release of SimplyMEPIS 11.0, an easy-to-use, Debian-based distribution for the desktop: "The 8th anniversary of the MEPIS Linux project is coming up on Sunday. In time for that event, the second alpha release of SimplyMEPIS 11.0 has been uploaded. 11.0 continues to track Debian 'Squeeze' but with a 2.6.36 Linux kernel. In this release, MEPIS has backported the Galbraith latency patch which improves desktop performance. A number of bugs have been fixed which affected installation and booting from USB key. One of the fixes was to discontinue using gfxboot and replace it with isolinux, at least for the time being. For this release, isolinux has a new splash wallpaper. Users are encouraged to comment on the new wallpaper at the mepislovers.org forum site." Here is the brief release announcement.

Distribution Release: SimplyMEPIS 8.5 |
|
Warren Woodford has announced the release of SimplyMEPIS 8.5, a beginner-friendly desktop Linux distribution with KDE 4, based on Debian GNU/Linux: "For SimplyMEPIS 8.5 we started with the stable Debian 'Lenny' core and then selectively introduced updated packages that make SimplyMEPIS 8.5 a more timely operating system. Specifically, 8.5 uses a 2.6.32 kernel for up-to-date hardware support. It has the new KDE 4.3.4 desktop, yet retains much of the familiar MEPIS/KDE look and feel, so users can slowly become familiar with the new features in KDE 4.3. The new MEPIS Welcome Center guides users through their first steps with MEPIS including finding documentation, connecting with the community, and optionally installing additional applications and language packs." Read the full release announcement for further information. Download: SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.5.01-rel1_32.iso (694MB, MD5), SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.5.01-rel1_64.iso (692MB, MD5).

Development Release: SimplyMEPIS 8.5 RC3 |
|
Warren Woodford has announced that the third release candidate for SimplyMEPIS 8.5 is ready for testing: "MEPIS has released SimplyMEPIS 8.5.00, RC3 of MEPIS 8.5, now available from MEPIS and public mirrors. We've updated the kernel to 2.6.32.10. The release notes from the Linux kernel team indicated that they have been hard at work making improvements. We have changed the live media to use isolinux. This gave us the opportunity to add a hardware exploration tool to the boot options. Also we've expended the number of languages that can be selected at live boot. Soon we expect to take advantage of this to build a larger international Live media release, that will have appropriate KDE localizations built-in. There have been a number of improvements to the MEPIS Assistants." See the remainder of the release announcement for additional notes. Download: SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.5.00-rc3_32.iso (698MB, MD5), SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.5.00-rc3_64.iso (695MB, MD5).

The second release candidate for SimplyMEPIS 8.5, a beginner-friendly, Debian-based desktop Linux distribution, is ready for download and testing: "Warren Woodford has released SimplyMEPIS 8.4.99, RC2 of MEPIS 8.5, now available from MEPIS and public mirrors. Warren reported: 'In the past week, we've fixed some bugs reported by the community and updated the MEPIS assistants. And we've updated some packages containing bug fixes - Digikam 1.1.0, ghostscript 8.71, kdebase-workspace 4.3.4-5 and wl-modules 5.60.48.36. The community is hard at work on translations, updated manual, and a couple of new utilities. I expect RC3 to be ready in a week or so. It should be the last RC before we go final with 8.5.' ISO images of MEPIS community releases are published to the 'released' subdirectory at the MEPIS Subscriber's Site and at MEPIS public mirrors." Read the full release announcement for more details.
