Cu o oarecare intarziere datorita unei mici vacante, va anunt ca mult asteptata versiune 12 a distributiei Linux Mint, nume de cod Lisa, a fost lansata publicului. La fel de intarziat ca si mine Linux Mint 12 a fost lansat cu 6 zile dupa data de 20 noiembrie anuntata oficial: “The team is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 12 ‘Lisa’. Linux Mint 12 comes with a brand new desktop, built with GNOME 3 and MGSE (Mint GNOME Shell Extensions), a desktop layer on top of GNOME 3 that makes it possible for you to use GNOME 3 in a traditional way. You can disable all components within MGSE to get a pure GNOME 3 experience, or you can enable all of them to get a GNOME 3 desktop that is similar to what you’ve been using before. Of course you can also pick and only enable the components you like to design your own desktop. The main features in MGSE are: the bottom panel, the application menu, the window list, a task-centric desktop (i.e. you switch between windows, not applications), visible system tray icons. MGSE also includes additional extensions such as a media player indicator, and multiple enhancements to GNOME 3.”
Schimbarile aduse de Linux Mint 12 precum si imbinarea dintre vechi si nou, a propulsat aceasta distributie in ierarhia celor de la Distrowatch cu peste 7000 de vizite, cu mult in spate aflandu-se openSUSE cu peste 2000 de vizite dar pe un ton negativ. Pentru a va face o idee despre schimbarile majore aduse de versiunea 12 va recomand sa accesati aceasta pagina sau sa cititi acest articol de blog. Totusi presimt ca entuziasmul este maxim asa ca nu cred eu ca o sa mai stati prea mult la citit, astfel ca spre incantarea noastra exista 2 mirror-uri in Romania de unde puteti descarca Linux Mint 12; aceste mirror-uri sunt:
– ServerHost: http://mirrors.serverhost.ro/mint/iso/stable/12/
– Apollo: http://lnx.apollo-hw.ro/linuxmint.com/iso/stable/12/
Spor la download si utilizare placuta va doresc ! :)
