Chinese 2000 Linux
Chinese 2000 was a simple, stable and easy-to-use computer O/S. The applications and resolutions have been successfully localised both linguistically and culturally and this enables the usage of Chinese in carrying out commands and operations. Chinese 2000 was suitable for both family and business users and it can be used as workstations and servers. As it can coexist with other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, that allows users to have more choices in the market. Chinese 2000 was based on Red Hat Linux. It also certifies the Borland development tools which complies with the Chinese 2000 v1.0 platform. One of the greatest advantages of using Chinese 2000 v1.0 was that users can enjoy customer hotline support once registered with us through our website. Users can also download various software from our website without additional charges.

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.

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).

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.
