Another Linux distro updated now with Lubuntu in its core: DEFT Linux 7. This is a great recovery and forensic distro with lots of tools to aid for repairing partitions, damaged clusters, recover lost data, make network tests and configurations, etc. I can’t write the whole list of apps included in this release, not enough space 🙂
Mmm, thatartwork sounds familiar to me… 😀
A new great tool ready for using with our beloved Lubuntu: LxScreenshot! This is another brilliant creation from the Stefano, the same author of LxFind. You can imagine what’s its purpose, creating screen captures with ease and a simple interface, with timing capture (in seconds) and the option to choose the folder to save it on.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lxscreenshot
It’s highly recommendable to put a handy button on the panel quicklaunch for executing it.
Haven’t tried LxFind yet? For those who doesn’t know it, it will be the default file and document search tool or Lubuntu. For trying it (remember, it’s not an ultimate comilation) put this on a terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lxfind
If you already added our PPA just install the package “lxfind”.
While we’re waiting for the next release of Lubuntu 12.04, the Precise Pangolin, other distros are posting about their goals. One of those is Peppermint OS Two, a Lubuntu based distro oriented to the cloud. So many applications has been removed from the installation process, and gives more Google-ized tasks, like GMail, Google Reader, Docs, etc. making it absolutely necessary to have a good broadband connection to the Internet.
Another one that follows the trendy way of using (L)ubuntu as its core was Leenux, that presents the fifth distro with more editions, Unity, LXDE and the old Ubuntu Netbook interface (from the deceased EasyPeasy). Sorry, no LXDE screenshots yet.
