The ZevenOS Team is proud to announce the release of ZevenOS RC1.
We put a lot of work in improving overall performance and visual appearance.
The BeOS Touch was never so good in a linux distribution. With Sawfish our new window manager we have a lightweight but powerfull and very configurable window manager.
The great xfce panel is a beautiful addon to our Deskbar. MAGI 1 and 2 are as powerfull as they never were before and simply look beautifull. With the combination of Abiword and Gnumeric we offer the best and fastest office suite out there supporting a lot of new features like online collaboration.
We optimized our Webbrowser Epiphany for speed and included some famous extensions, like a addblocker. With Sylpheed we have a fast, lightweight but powerfull e-mail client that works impressivly well with imap. With the newest Gimp version (2.6) even proffessionell image artists will be happy. Gthumb and Quodlibet are the main apps for image and music management. With audacity , avidemux , YAVTD, Encode, Brasero (0.8.2) we offer a very productive multimedia suite that not only allows you to convert your videos to your favorite encoding format but also allows you to easily create DVDs and CDs for your Home DVD Player. If you want to share your favorite files very easily of the network we included giver that makes it easier as ever before.
Do you have a second Operating System installed we also support the major partitions out of the box. It's not necessary any more to edit cryptic text config files to mount NTFS/FAT32/BFS or FAT16 partitions. If you want to change the Bootloader we included an easy Bootup Manager that lets you set various options with a single click.
If you are a developer we include everything you need. With Geany you are able to quickly write or edit c, c#, c++, python, java or whatever programming language you use.
For beginners we included Gambas 2 IDE which is just amazingly easy to use.
All in all ZevenOS is the best linux experience a BeOS Switcher will get. It feels snappy and very familiar. If you want to learn more here are some screenshots (http://www.zevenos.com/screenshots.html) and don't miss the about page (http://www.zevenos.com/infos.html) with further explainations. And of course the Download Page (http://www.zevenos.com/downloads.html).
Have fun testing and please give feedback ;)
