SolusOS 2 Alpha 5


Ikey Doherty has announced that the fifth alpha release of SolusOS 2, a Debian-based desktop distribution, is ready for testing: "The SolusOS team is pleased to announce the release of SolusOS 2 alpha 5. 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. What's new? This time we've gone all out to give you the best looking GNOME desktop we can, and it's increasingly difficult to tell the difference between our GNOME Classic and GNOME 2. We've gone to great lengths to improve the overall look and feel of the desktop whilst enhancing usability at the same time. Included software: Linux kernel 3.3.6, LibreOffice 3.5.4, Firefox and Thunderbird 13.0.1, Adobe Flash 11.2.202.235, VLC 2.0.1, Nautilus 3.4.2...." Here is the ful release announcement with a handful of screenshots. Interested testers can download the live DVD image from here: SolusOS-2-A5.iso (989MB, MD5).
