Distribution Release: Antergos 2015.04.12 |
|
Dustin Falgout has announced the release of a new version of the Antergos distribution. The new release, version 2015.04.12, offers an updated system installer and the GNOME 3.16 desktop environment. The distribution can be downloaded as one of two images, a Full edition and a Minimal edition. The Minimal ISO has been reduced in size and is now just 437MB. "We've updated our installation media to include all of the latest packages available in the Arch Repos. The most notable updates are our installer, Cnchi v.0.8.0 (released earlier today) and GNOME 3.16. Our Live Install Image includes a fully working GNOME 3.16 environment that you can use before making any changes to your system. Our Minimal Install Image includes only what is required to run our installer and thus offers a much smaller initial download." Further information on the new build of Antergos can be found in the project's release announcement. Downloads (MD5): antergos-2015.04.12-x86_64.iso (1,531MB, torrent, pkglist). |

Distribution Release: Antergos 2013.05.12 |
|
Antergos is a new name for Cinnarch, a project that used to combine the Cinnamon desktop and Arch Linux into a complete desktop Linux distribution. As Cinnamon tends to be behind the times and not always compatible with the latest version of GNOME, the project's developers have taken a decision to switch to GNOME 3 as their default desktop and rename the project to Antergos. The first stable release of Antergos was announced today: "After a month since our last release under the name 'Cinnarch', we're glad to announce the new name of our project and our first release being out of beta. We're stable enough to make this step. We've chosen 'Antergos', a Galician word to link the past with the present. Moving forward, all our services are now working with the new name." See the release announcement for instructions on how to switch from Cinnarch to Antergos. Download (MD5): antergos-2013.05.12-x86_64.iso (766MB, torrent). |

Development Release: Cinnarch 2013.04.05 |

Alex Filgueira has announced the release of Cinnarch 2013.04.05, a new development build of the project's lightweight distribution which combines Arch Linux with the Linux Mint's Cinnamon desktop user interface: "Cinnarch 2013.04.05 released. It has been a while since the last release, but we were working to finally bring you a graphical installer. We're glad to introduce you to Cnchi, our new graphical installer to let you install your Cinnarch system in a modern way. We're releasing Cnchi as an alpha version. This first Cnchi release is not as full-featured as our CLI installer. Right now, Cnchi accomplishes a basic but typical installation. In future releases we'll be adding new features like EFI support and more advanced partitioning features like LVM. Features in Cnchi: written in Python 3 and GTK+ 3 using a pyparted modification...."

Development Release: Cinnarch 2013.01.23 |
|
Alex Filgueira has announced the release of Cinnarch 2013.01.23, the latest build of the project's desktop distribution that combines Arch Linux with Cinnamon (a fork of GNOME Shell). This is a beta release. From the announcement: "Another month, another release. This one with some great improvements. One of the downsides of installing Cinnarch is the time that the installer spends downloading the packages. Almost 500 MB in packages have to be downloaded one after the other. This new version reduces the downloading time doing parallel downloads thanks to a Pacman wrapper called powerpill. This new system downloads everything with a 12 MB connection in just 4 - 6 minutes. With this we avoid the 'select mirror' step, because there's no need, but at the end, in your final system, you will have selected by default the 5 fastest mirrors to your location in the case of the Arch Linux repositories." Download (MD5) the live CD image from here: cinnarch-2013.01.23-x86_64.iso (699MB). |
