Pure OS is a Debian based distribution that features the GNOME desktop environment. Version 5.0 was released a few days ago, bringing updates for all core parts and applications of the system and some new additions on the default set of the included applications.
PureOS comes with:
- GNOME 3.4.2
- Linux Kernel 3.3.6
- LibreOffice 3.5.4
- Iceweasel 13.0
- Icedove 10.0
- Transmission
- Fillezilla
- Banshee
- VLC
- Brasero
- GIMP 2.8
- GParted
- Evince
- Eye of Gnome
You will find Pure OS in the form of a
multilanguage (26 languages) DVD with many hundreds of included
packages. If the DVD is not enough, you can always use the user friendly
Ubuntu – software center to install more things that you may need.
I believe that basing a distribution on
Debian testing is a great thing to do. I used many distributions with
Debian’s testing repositories, and never had stability issues. These
repositories are maybe the golden mean between latest versions and
stability.
I encourage everyone that is seeking for a gnomish adventure this week to install Pure OS 5.0 and tell us how it went!
