After releasing the first GNU/Linux distribution with Linux 3.18 kernel a couple of days after its launch back in December 2014, Arne Exton did it again, as he just announced today on Twitter that the his Exton|OS with MATE has been updated to version 150211 and includes a custom 3.19.0-5-exton kernel package based on the upstream Linux kernel 3.19.

Exton|OS is built around the old-school MATE graphical desktop environment, which has been modified with a modern layout consisting of a dock (application launcher) located on the bottom edge of the screen, as well as a panel (taskbar) located on the upper side of the screen.

Numerous open-source applications are included in the distribution, as well as all the standard MATE tools. Users will be able to browse the Internet with either Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Midori web browsers, edit images in style with the powerful GIMP, view and organize your photo collection with Shotwell, send and receive emails with Geary, and watch movies with VLC Media Player.
