Happy New Year! The honour of the first release announcement of 2015 goes to ZevenOS, a desktop Linux distribution whose latest release, version 6.0, is based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and which features the Xfce desktop environment with a desktop theme that resembles the much-loved BeOS operating system: "I am proud to announce the release of ZevenOS 6.0 – the 'Good-bye' edition. Good-bye because its released at the end of this year and will be the last ZevenOS version for a long long time. This release is based upon Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and will be supported for 5 years. As ZevenOS 5.0 was released more than a year ago this new version brings in many changes like Linux kernel 3.13, X.Org 7.7 and PulseAudio 4.0. All the tools you love from ZevenOS are back again in updated versions. OpenShot was updated to 1.4.3 with the new melt backend, Inkscape to 0.48.4, AbiWord to 3.0. Brasero was replaced by Xfburn and we now also include the sysctl speed patches and zram enabled by default to gain more overall speed. ZevenOS still is the best linux distribution with a BeOS touch." Download (MD5) link: zevenos6-desktop-i386.iso (884MB, pkglist). |

Development Release: ZevenOS 5.0 Beta 1 |
|
The first beta release of ZevenOS 5.0, an Ubuntu-based distribution with a BeOS-like user interface, is ready for testing: "ZevenOS used the deskbar for ages to create a slick and nice looking tasklist and main menu panel. With the current struggle in development on ZevenOS I decided to give the deskbar mode in the Xfce pane a go and I really have to say I am impressed. It works almost flawlessly. There are still some glitches like not being able to setup the panel to move under windows (so it doesn't behave like a panel but more like the deskbar used to) and some confusing configuration settings but the Xfce panel brings in the advantage of plug-ins and you can configure a lot with them. So I decided for the 5.0 release of ZevenOS to simply ship the Xfce panel. Currently I am not sure if I would stop development of the deskbar completely or if we implement a tasklist on our own." Here is the brief release announcement. Download: ZevenOS5B1.iso (717MB, MD5). |
