The RevLinuxOS team is proud to announce the release of RevLinuxOS 2.0 Beta-2 (Based on Kubuntu 12.04) for community testing.
Although great pains have been taken to make it as stable as possible, please remember that this is a test version and not recommended for everyday use. Please be sure to backup your data before installing.
I need lots of detailed feedback. If this release goes well, it could become the final release (after clean-up and some work on the repositories).
There are numerous changes in this release, such as:
* Control panel has been reorganized a bit.
* Window decorations are now using Qt curve.
* Minor modifications to the Grub boot loader.
* Many modifications to the installer branding, graphics
and verbiage (Still haven't found a way to make the
partition table info larger in the installer :( ).
* Upgraded Gimp 2.6 to Gimp 2.8.
* Upgraded the kernel and all updates as of right now.
* Firefox now properly launches Thunderbird
(via mailto: links).
* New skin for VLC (I hope you like it! ;D)
Those are a few examples of work that has been done on this release. However, I also need to perform allot more system clean-up before the public release. The ISO file is still too big (IMHO).
Please give it a full work-over (including Installation!)
I need all beta testers to focus on details such as going through all of the control panel categories and providing feedback on the reorganization. I'd especially appreciate usability feedback concerning the control panel.
I'd also appreciate similar types of feedback on the installer modifications (Text, graphics, logos, etc.) as well. :)
