The team is proud to announce the release of LMDE 2 "Betsy" Cinnamon RC. LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) is a very exciting distribution, targeted at experienced users, which provides the same environment as Linux Mint but uses Debian as its package base, instead of Ubuntu. LMDE is less mainstream than Linux Mint, it has a much smaller user base, it is not compatible with PPAs, and it lacks a few features. That makes it a bit harder to use and harder to find help for, so it is not recommended for novice users.

antiX 15 beta1-V available for testing. This is a 32-bit antiX full using SysVInit (hence the V) and some repackaged debs for 'nosystemd', e.g CUPS, dBUS. The ISO image is 701 MB so testers will have to overburn the CD. Custom 3.19.1 Linux kernel; addition of alsa-sound-card to set up multiple sound cards; Debian 'Jessie' set as default; UEFI support on the live medium (no support yet in the installer); reorganised menu layout; reorganised boot menu; splash enabled at boot - to remove press F7 and choose the 'No VGA' option; improved localisation - but it still needs work; many minor bugs squashed. Please test and post issues, comment in the forums.

The Evolve OS team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Evolve OS Beta 1.1. This release focuses on stability and on bringing the core system up to scratch. Please note that as this is an update to beta 1, changes that are intended for beta 2 (such as UEFI support) are be present. Also note Evolve OS is only available as a 64-bit system. Core changes: Linux kernel 3.19.1, GCC 4.9.2, Clang/LLVM 3.5.0, systemd 218. Many Evolve OS packages are now being built with Clang by default and, as such, we have begun to reduce the overall footprint of the system. A live boot Evolve OS beta 1.1 (via USB) will use around 185 - 190 MB of RAM idle on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon, and boots in 2.3 seconds on an Intel NUC (D54250WYK) installation. With our last ISO image some users were unable to boot due to a conflict regarding USB 3. This has since been resolved.

Linkat Edu 14.04 is available. Linkat is a GNU/Linux distribution designed for use in education systems. The distribution is developed for Catalan-speaking people.

The Chakra team is happy to announce the third release of the Chakra Euler series. This is a maintenance release to fix some installation issues and provide all the updated packages that landed in the stable repositories since the previous release. The main new feature is that our ISO now supports booting and installing on UEFI systems! We are aware that everybody is looking ahead into Plasma 5 and we are working on the transition, but we believe it is too early for this to be shipped by default and decided to wait for a little bit longer until Plasma 5 has matured and more KDE Applications have switched to Frameworks 5. This ISO ships with the following notable packages and updates: KDE Applications 14.12.2, except for the applications that have been ported to frameworks 5, which will remain on their 4.14.3 versions; kde-workspace 4.11.16 and kdelibs 4.14.5; Frameworks 5.7; Calligra 2.9.0.

Linux Lite 2.4 beta is now available for testing. With the release of Linux Lite 2.4 beta, we continue to evolve into a fully featured, lightweight free operating system. There are enhancements to Lite Software, Install Updates, Lite Tweaks and Network Share Settings.

All software packages have been updated to their latest stable version given their native environment. A special thanks to Jeff Hoogland of Bodhi Linux for his help enabling UEFI support in the 64bit edition of LXLE. Changes include SeaMonkey Web Browser and its components which replace standalone software that was originally included in LXLE. These include Claws Mail, Filezilla, Osmo, Xchat that have been replaced by the standard components of SeaMonkey with the addition of Lightning (Calendar/Scheduler) and FireFTP.

Version 0.5.28 focuses on Q4OS native utilities 'Desktop Profiler' and 'Setup tool'. These utilities have got a few enhancements and important fixes, stability has been improved. Desktop Profiler now offers more comprehensive packages sets to install.

The Fedora 22 Alpha release has arrived, with a preview of the latest free and open source technology under development. The GNOME Shell notification system has been redesigned and subsumed into the calendar widget; the terminal now notifies you when a long running job completes; the login screen now uses Wayland by default; installation of GStreamer codecs, fonts, and certain document types is now handled by Software, instead of GNOME PackageKit; the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) now features better notifications, and uses the privacy control panel in GNOME to control information sent.

Almost one month passed since our last preview of our next stable release, Manjaro 0.9.0. This build ships Xfce most closely to the upcoming 4.12 release. Thunar file manager finally supports tabs and other cool features like inverting the selection, it improves on location handling and the shortcuts side pane. On the panel we have now a popup calendar and support for time zones.

We are preparing Kubuntu Vivid Vervet (15.04) for distribution on April 23rd, 2015. With this Beta 1 pre-release, you can see what we are trying out in preparation for our next (stable) version. We have some interesting things happening, so read on for highlights and information.

I created Puppy Linux back in 2003, but there was never a toolchain for compiling Puppy completely from source. Instead, Puppy is built from binary packages of another distro, plus PET packages compiled natively. We did use the T2 system right back at Puppy v2. In early 2015, I tackled the formidable task of compiling everything in T2, and I had to introduce 105 new packages into T2. It took a couple of months, but I eventually was able to compile every package required for Quirky.

Vine Linux 6.3 (Malartic-Lagraviere). Vine Linux 6.3 has following features (highlights): update the software collection; update Linux kernel to 3.4.106 (latest LTS kernel 3.4.y); bundle newer software - Firefox 33.0, Thunderbird 24.0, Sylpheed 3.4.2, LibreOffice 4.3.5, OpenSSL 1.0.1; stability improvement; improvements of look and feel; newer hardware support; new user-friendly tools. Since this is not a commercial version (Vine Linux CR), non-free applications and fonts are not included on the CD/DVD. Instead of proprietary ATOX X/Wnn7/Wnn8/VJE Japanese inputs and Ricoh/Dynacomware fonts, this FTP edition contains Anthy and free TrueType fonts.

KaOS is very proud to announce the availability of the February release of a new stable ISO image. This release brings the end of KDE 4 as the default Desktop Environment for KaOS. Almost ten months ago work started to fully migrate to Frameworks 5, Plasma 5-based distribution and with the release of Plasma 5.2.1 this migration is now deemed ready to bring a better user experience then KDE 4. From the unset of this migration there was never a plan to mix the two environments. What you will see on this ISO is a pure Plasma 5-based environment. As many might have noted KDE Applications 14.12 did not contain more then a handful of Plasma 5 applications. Just about all applications that users have become used to seeing in a KDE 4 version are available as a Plasma 5 port. A few are not ready yet, and those will be missing from the KaOS repositories until their ports are ready for daily use.
