VectorLinux 6.0 RC1 has been released — filed under: Releases <http://vectorlinux.com/search?Subject%3Alist=Releases>
The VectorLinux development team is proud to announce the first release candidate of VectorLinux 6.0. This release is the result of the excellent bug reporting feedback from members of our community and beyond. We have tried to squash most of the bugs reported and add some additional polish to the default theme and the gui installer. The gui installer has gone through many rewrites since the beta2 release. We think you will find many improvements both in design and execution. We are still looking for feedback as the installer progresses towards our final release. We have updated several software packages and have added the all new slapt-get notifier which automatically notifies the user via a tray icon that software updates are available. The browser plugins have been updated to the latest flash 10 and mplayerplug-in. Firefox, Opera, Seamonkey, Gftp, Pidgin and our own Vl-hot have all been updated since the beta2 release. We are another step closer to final! The big news is Vector has a new gui installer for the first time! This was built from the ground up and not a rehash of any of the other gui installers used by other distro's. This release features the 2.6.27.7 kernel with the latest wireless drivers and firmware updates. The default Window manager is Xfce4 with LXDE as alternate. We have the latest Firefox, Opera and Seamonkey with all the media codecs and flash so all the web and personal media content is available out of the box. For light office work you will find Abiword and Gnumeric. For heavy duty work, OpenOffice is available as a download from our ever expanding repo. We have added jpilot for those of you with handhelds. The included multimedia applications are the latest Mplayer, Xine, K3b and vlc. We have some of the all time favorite games including Penguin command, Pysol and Xgalaga and many more available in our repo. The latest stable Perl 5.10 has also been added. We hope you enjoy our latest labor of love. Please let us know of any bugs you encounter or just general feedback by posting in our web forum. -- /*********************************************************** *Leslie LeÃn Sinclair *Estudiante de Ingenieria en Telecomunicaciones *Departamento de Telecomunicaciones *Facultad de Ingenieria Electrica, CUJAE. *Calle 114 #11901 e/ 119 y 127 *Marianao 19390, Ciudad de la Habana, Cuba *Tel: (53 7) 266-3445 *email: [email protected] *jabber - UID : [email protected] *Another happy Slackware GNU/Linux user *Proud GNU/Linux User #445535 *http://counter.li.org/ *Katana yanai, otoko nanda. ************************************************************/ VI Conferencia Internacional de Energía Renovable, Ahorro de Energía y Educación Energética 9 - 12 de Junio 2009, Palacio de las Convenciones ...Por una cultura energética sustentable www.ciercuba.com _______________________________________________ Cancelar suscripción https://listas.softwarelibre.cu/mailman/listinfo/linux-l Buscar en el archivo http://listas.softwarelibre.cu/buscar/linux-l
