PinguyOS 12.04 LTS Released

[ZeroDay]

PinguyOS 12.04 LTS Is an ubuntu based distro with bags of extras to make it easy for everyone to use a linux desktop check it out!

Here is the final release of Pinguy OS 12.04 LTS. As you may have noticed, we have had a website redesign to reflect this great new release. We have fully embraced GNOME Shell here and wanted a modern, updated site to go with the new look of the desktop.

In this release we have:

Linux Kernel 3.2.0-25
GNOME 3.4.1
Wine 1.5.6
Skype 4.0
TeamViewer 7
XBMC-PVR 11.0 Eden
GNOME Shell Extension Updater
Everything else that was present in the previous Beta release.

The GDM login is now themed to match the desktop. The distro comes with two menus; Cardapio (Default) but also includes the Axe menu that is disabled.

Known Issues:

Not working with Btrfs.
The current build of VLC is a bit buggy. Can crash the desktop session. I would wait for an update or downgrade the release if you experience any problems. For now, the better alternative would be to use MPlayer as the default video player until VLC gets patched.

Pinguy_OS

Can i install this on WINDOWS?

Can i install this on WINDOWS?

If you have a Virtual Machine, yes.

This would be good to try out on another computer. Plus worth giving it ago because it's apart of Linux.

As McLovin said you could try it in a virtual machine. Or you could partition your hard drive and install it along side windows. Pinguy_OS is a really good distro for newcomers to linux, it has everything you'll need already installed.

 

[Imran]

Any WINDOWS installer for this OS like WUBI,Mint4win etc?

 

[ZeroDay]

I'm not aware of any no.

 

[Plexx]

What Imran means is using a live cd installer.
Mint4win is the installer in the live cd for Linux Mint.

 

[ZeroDay]

No I think Imran means is there a wubi installer to install Pinguy within windows and there isn't one for Pinguy. As far as I'm aware all distros run as a live CD so you can try out the system first, well every distro I've tried does.

 

[ZeroDay]

There's no wubi/mint4win such installer in the ISO for Pinguy.
