LinEx
LinEx was a Linux distribution developed by the Extremadura Regional Government in Spain and CENATIC, the Spanish National Competence Centre for the Application of Open-Source Technologies. LinEx was based on Debian GNU/Linux, a distribution that, thanks to its design, makes it easy to create other distributions that can inherit its advantages and get rid of some of its disadvantages (for example, the difficulty of setup and configuration). By using a modified Debian distribution, the Extremadura Regional Government has benefited from the fact that there was a large amount of varied software for it.

The project's release announcement lists several new changes: "Tweaked Gnome 3.28.2. OpenGL version string: 3.1. Mesa 18.1.1. File Manager: Nemo 3.8.3. Kernel 4.15.0-20. Downgraded the DRI driver for Xorg to DRI2, this fixes RetroArch. Included Winepak's repo so it will be easy to install Window games. Enabled exFAT support. Removed Docky and replaced it with Simple Dock & Places Status Indicator. Audio levels can go past 100% by default. Fixed Shutter but will only works under Xorg. Some of the default Gnome apps have been replaced with MATE versions. I really did not like the new Gedit so replaced it with Pluma. If you use the Gedit command it will open Pluma. That is so all the guides on the forum and other sites that use Gedit in their guides will work fine." Pinguy OS is available in Full and Mini editions.

Development Release: Pinguy OS 18.04 Alpha |
|
Pinguy OS is an Ubuntu-based distribution featuring the GNOME desktop environment. The project has published a new testing release, Pinguy 18.04 alpha. The new development snapshot is based on Ubuntu 18.04 and features some changes to the default list of applications. Details and screen shots can be found in the project's release announcement. "This is a very early alpha. There are going to be bugs. This is basically the Mini. All it really has installed is Firefox, VLC and Deluge. Docky is very unstable. It crashes often but its run from a script that will restart it if it crashes. Peerflix is installed and working. Some of the default GNOME apps have been replaced with MATE versions. I really did not like the new Gedit so replaced it with Pluma. If you use the Gedit command it will open Pluma. That is so all the guides on the forum and other sites that use Gedit in their guides will work fine. Have a play with it and let me know what you think. It's still in the early stages, but the foundations to build the full version are almost there."

Distribution Release: Pinguy OS 14.04 |
|
Antoni Norman has announced the release of Pinguy OS 14.04, an Ubuntu-based desktop Linux distribution with a customised GNOME Shell desktop. This arrives after several "false" releases; yet the release announcement largely concentrates on further bugs and known issues: "The full final has been released. Known bugs: selecting auto login in the installer does not work - I had to disable it so the live session would auto login; Apturl is broken, this is an issue with Ubuntu; to make the distro work with GNOME 3.12 I had to add restore extensions to start-ups - this forces the extensions to start; if you use symbols in your password make sure you pick the correct keyboard; in Firefox some of the add-ons are disabled, just run add-on update to enable them." The "Full" and "Mini" Pinguy OS 14.04 live DVD images are available for download from the project's page on SourceForge: Pinguy_OS_14.04-LTS-x86-64.iso (2,270MB, MD5), Pinguy_OS_14.04-LTS-Mini-Final-x86-64.iso (1,561MB, MD5). |

Development Release: Pinguy OS 13.10 Beta 2 |
|
Antoni Norman has announced the second and final beta release of Pinguy OS 13.10, an Ubuntu-based distribution with a tweaked GNOME 3.10 desktop: "Pinguy OS 13.10 (based on Ubuntu 13.10) has been released with GNOME 3.10 by default, along with some new tweaks. This is the final 13.10 release but it's called beta because only LTS releases are considered stable. The latest Pinguy OS 13.10 ships with the GNOME 3.10 desktop with GNOME Shell as the default 'shell', customized with various extensions. Since GNOME 3.10 is used, it means you'll get all the goodies available in the latest stable GNOME, which aren't available in Ubuntu 13.10 by default - client side decorations for applications such as GNOME Tweak Tool, GNOME Documents and so on, the new GNOME Shell System Menu, pagination in the GNOME Shell app picker, all the System Settings improvements included in GNOME 3.10 and more." Here is the full release announcement with a screenshot and a video. Download: Pinguy_OS_13.10-beta2-x86-64.iso (2,477MB, MD5, torrent). |

Development Release: Pinguy OS 13.04 Beta |
|
Antoni Norman has announced the beta release of Pinguy OS 13.04, an Ubuntu-based distribution featuring the GNOME 3.8 desktop. Although it comes with a beta label, this is the final release in the 13.04 series as the developers keep the "stable" tag strictly for LTS (long-term support) releases. From the release announcement (as published by Web Upd8): "Pinguy OS 13.04 (based on Ubuntu 13.04) beta has been released, this being basically the final 13.04 version because Pinguy has decided to keep the 6-month releases as betas and only the LTS will be considered stable. The non-LTS releases will be using bleeding edge software, like XBMC 13.0 alpha or GNOME 3.8 / GNOME Shell 3.8 that's included in Pinguy OS 13.04, but which isn't included by default in Ubuntu 13.04 and so, it isn't considered fully stable in Ubuntu. According to a recent Pinguy OS blog post, the 6-month releases are usable, but they might not include features that will be available in the LTS."

Development Release: Pinguy OS 13.04 Alpha |
|
Antoni Norman has released an initial alpha build of Pinguy OS 13.04, an Ubuntu-based distribution with a customised GNOME 3.8 desktop: "Pinguy OS is still being activity worked on. There has been a release for 12.10 and a 13.04 release is being worked on at the moment. If you want to keep up to date with the development of Pinguy OS it's best to follow the Information thread on the forum. This blog will be mainly for news on the LTS releases. I have decided to keep the 6-month releases as betas/snapshots of what the LTS will become. The 6-month releases will be using bleeding edge software that hasn't been fully tested. For an example the 13.04 release is using Gnome Shell 3.8.1 (something that isn't included in Ubuntu 13.04 by default). The 6-month Pinguy OS releases will be missing features that will be in the final LTS, but the release will be very usable." See this brief blog post for more information.
