| Ark Linux desktop gains new beta |
Apr. 12, 2004
The Ark Linux team has announced the immediate availability of Ark Linux 1.0 alpha 11, a new version of its easy to use and easy to learn desktop operating system.
Highlights of this new release include: - KDE (the graphical user interface) has been updated to 3.2.1, introducing many changes and usability improvements, in particular to the mail program.
- 3D acceleration support for the VIA CLE266 graphics chipset has been added
- The recently released 2.6.x series Linux kernels will now work without needing any other changes to the system
- kynaptic replaces synaptic as the package manager. Kynaptic is leaner, easier to use, and more consistent with the look and feel of the rest of the system
- System security has been improved
- The "Wine" Windows emulator has been updated to the current version, and integrated better with the system. Just clicking on a .exe file will launch it; inserting a CD-Autorun capable Windows CD will launch the installer.
- The kmymoney2 finance manager has been added
Ark Linux is available for free download.
