Rate this project
|
Vince Pooley has announced the availability of the initial beta release of Chapeau 24, the upcoming new version of the project's Fedora-based distribution that includes some useful third-party software applications (e.g. PlayOnLinux, Steam, Flash) that are, by default, not available in Fedora due to licensing restrictions: "Today a pre-release build of Chapeau 24 has been made available for download. If you've been eagerly waiting for the latest Chapeau release based on Fedora 24, now's your time. If you don't want to deal with any of the known issues listed below you may want to stick with Chapeau 23 for now. The current list of known issues are as follows (this list may change as issues are reported or fixed); the nouveau driver bundled with Fedora kernel 4.7.2 currently doesn't work with NVIDIA GTX970 GPUs due to a bug introduced in Linux kernel 4.6; if you have a GTX970, you will have to boot the live image in ‘basic graphics mode'; not all shortcuts are showing their Moka icons on the home screen." Here is the brief release announcement. Download (MD5) the live DVD image from SourceForge: Chapeau_24_Beta_x86-64.iso (3,008MB, pkglist). |

About Chapeau
|
Chapeau is a high-performance, cutting-edge operating system built from the GNU/Linux distribution Fedora Workstation with the GNOME desktop environment. In comparison to Fedora, Chapeau adopts a more relaxed approach to software licences and is intended to be just as useful for advanced users as it is easy for those new to using a Linux system. There is built-in access to third-party software and sources repositories not included in Fedora such as RPMFusion, DropBox, Steam, Adobe Flash and Oracle VirtualBox. Chapeau also includes pre-installed core packages to make the installation of new kernel modules pain-free, built-in remote and virtual system management tools, a selection of maintenance tools that come in especially handy when running Chapeau's live image on a DVD or USB drive to analyse and fix broken systems.
