SolusOS 2 Alpha 3

Ikey Doherty has announced the availability of the third alpha release of SolusOS 2, a Debian-based Linux distribution featuring a highly tweaked GNOME 3.4 desktop: "The SolusOS team is pleased to announce the release of SolusOS 2 alpha 3. This release uses the GNOME Classic Desktop Environment 3.4 (not fallback), which is heavily tweaked to behave and look the same as GNOME 2. Please note that this is a development release and is not intended for use on production machines. What’s different about SolusOS’s GNOME? In SolusOS 2 we will be using GNOME 3.4, which in its current state features a largely unusable fallback mode. We decided to patch various parts of GNOME to make our implementation look and act identically to our GNOME 2 setup seen in SolusOS 1. This has been done in a way that will ensure 100% upstream compatibility." Read the full release announcement for a list of main packages and known issues. Download: SolusOS-2-A3.iso (945MB, MD5).
