The RevLinuxOS development and testing teams have been working very hard lately.
RevLinuxOS 2009 is almost ready for it's first release! Fragadelic deserves much credit for his innovative work on the installer scripts. Please take some time to let him know if you appreciate his work, as it is a thankless job.
I also want to thank Woodsmoke, Gray Wolf, Kmanley57, and sqlpython for their ideas, feedback, and contributions. Special thanks to S3Indiana for his efforts with setting up our new social networking sites, and beginning work on a RevLinuxOS wiki.
After many iterations, our Revolutionary artists have produced most of the default artwork for RevLinuxOS 2009. They've done a fantastic job of producing artwork that fits most tastes. All of that great artwork was produced by Nightshift, Papabearak, and special thanks to Sproggy for his design of the RevLinuxOS Logo. Thank you for a great job!
One missing element in the Linux world is that there's not much out there for women.
That's one thing we hope to rectify over time. we want this distro to be inclusive instead of exclusive, so we can look forward to some nice feminine artwork in the future.
More information to come when we are ready for our first release (Hopefully, in about a week).

Great looking graphics on the website. Can't wait for the RC or Alpha which ever it might be to come out. Best of luck to you all. Tim
ReplyDeleteWe currently expect to have a test version available to our testing group next weekend (May 16 or 17).
ReplyDeleteOnce the base distro is tested, we will add any goodies that have not been included yet, then release RevLinuxOS to the public soon after.
Please note:
We will not be following the traditional Alpha, Beta, RC release cycle tradition. This is because RevLinuxOS will be based on Debian Lenny, which is as stable as an OS is going to get.
The testing focus will be on the stuff we add to Debian Lenny to take it to the "next level" in user convenience and usefulness.
Please stay tuned for further updates and announcements!
We have been delayed due to artwork copyright and licensing issues. We had to develop a new logo and artwork. I'm anticipating release in mid September.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your interest and patience! :)
