Snowlinux 4 "Glacier" released
'Snowlinux 4 "Glacier" is based upon Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 "Wheezy" and uses Linux 3.5. MATE 1.4 is the default desktop environment and LightDM as new default login manager to replace GDM 3. It was built an own greeter for LightDM. There were introduced much new features like snowMenu, the Snowlinux menu and snowMount, the Snowlinux mount tool for drives. The Snowlinux-Metal-Theme was colored blue and the icon set was updated with the latest Faience icons. Snowlinux uses Pidgin now as default IM client. This release comes along Firefox 17 and Thunderbird 17, LibreOffice, Rhythmbox and Shotwell.' -- source: http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=07652 Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174

Thanks Peter. I'm trying to work out what itch it is attempting to scratch ... Looks to be "low RAM" ... minimum of 256MB. Doesn't look to be for older machines ... iso won't fit on a CD (Distrowatch ... 64-bit is 935MB) For those who don't like Gnome 3 or Unity? Michael

That's what I think. The Snowlinux distro might originate from a time before Linux Mint offered a Debian edition as well. Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174
