I am proud to announce the release of ZevenOS 6.0 – Goodbye Edition.

Goodbye Edition therefore because its released at the end of this year and will be the last ZevenOS Version for a long long time.

This release is based upon Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and will be supported for 5.0 years.

As ZevenOS 5.0 was released more than a year ago this new version brings in many changes like the Kernel 3.13, Xorg 7.7 and Pulseaudio 4.0.

All the tools you love from ZevenOS are back again in updated versions. OpenShot was updated to 1.4.3 with new melt backend. Inkscape to 0.48.4, Abiword to 3.0 and so much more.

Brasero was replaced by xfburn and we also now include the sysctl speed patches and zram enabled by default to gain more overall speed.

ZevenOS still is the best linux distribution with a BeOS touch.

Changes:

Deskbar replaced by xfce4-panel ‘deskbar’ mode (old Deskbar still available via repository)

new Ubuntu 14.04 base

OpenShot 1.4.3 with Youtube Upload support and a lot more features

Abiword 3.0.0

Audacity 2.0.5

Claws-Mail 3.9.3

Firefox 34

Gimp 2.8.10

Inkscape 0.48.4

Thunar 1.6.3

Updated Icon and GTK-Theme

ZRAM enabled by default

Sysctl Tweaks for better responsiveness

Updated scripts to include btrfs-snapshot.sh script from Neptune

Packagelist

Happy new year!

Disclamer: This version was build automatically due to the lack in time I had to create this version and poorley tested. So it might contain bugs.

Localepurge was used to gain free space on the ISO. If your language isn’t completely localized install localepurge and execute /usr/share/doc/localepurge/reinstall_debs.sh
