Okay, it has landed. We have the first Release Candidate (thanks to a board comm by Phill Whiteside). Check it out and, as he said, adopt one at QA.
They are the alternates series, available from here. Go and adopt one now 🙂 how to adopt? Follow the instructions for more information, head over to testing which has tons of information.
A new icon theme is going to land soon: Lubuntu Box. At this moment only a few icons and the design guide are being developed to create the main look line. Of course, the icon theme will (and always) be free, released under GPL license, and it will fit another desktop environments, such as Gnome3 or Unity. Stay tuned!
The SliTaz team has anounced the fourth version of this tiny Linux. With a new graphical installer this rolling release is a new minimal requierements goal, needing 192 Mb memory and voer 48 mb once installed. It’s projected thinking as a powerful but light server without need of installation. Anyway, it has the kernel 2.6.37 (a bit older, considering Lubuntu and OpenSuSE/LXDE ship with 3.0 ones while being light), Openbox 3.4 (again 0.1 points old fashioned), XOrg 1.9.5 and Alsa 1.0.24 (not PulseAudio).
Lars Torben Kremer has presented the new version of another Debian based LXDE distro, Snowlinux 2 “Ice” LXDE. This release features its own artwork (called Snowlinux-Metal), an improved installer, apturl, OpenJDK 6 Java, amon other system improvements. This Release Candidate is presented in 32bit only and you can download it here for testing.
