PCLinuxOS N1PTT-TR3 RELEASED! (TESTING NOW CLOSED) ON BEHALF OF TEXSTAR, The Ripper Gang is pleased to announce the first public beta ISO release of what will ultimately become PCLinuxOS 2009. Due to some very personal issues, Texstar has taken a temporary leave of absence, but not to worry folks, he#39;ll be back very soon. We#39;re releasing this series of beta iso#39;s under the name of N1PTT to honor the loss of Robert Green, a long time dear friend of the PCLinuxOS community who recently succumbed to cancer. Rest in peace my friend. This beta iso features kernel 2.6.26.6.tex2, KDE 3.5.10, Open Office 2.4.1, Firefox 3.0.3, Thunderbird 2.0.0.14, Frostwire, Ktorrent, Amarok, Flash, Java JRE, Compiz-Fusion 3D and much more. We decided to use kde3-5-10 as our default desktop as the we could not achieve a similar functionality from kde4. We will however offer kde4 as an alternative desktop environment available from the repo once we stabilize it. We request that only our more experienced PCLinuxOS users test this beta release and report any issues with it in the forum provided specially for it.(testing now closed) Testers are advised to install this beta into a separate partition for temporary use only. This and any subsequent beta iso#39;s are considered static installs and will not be upgradable to the 2009 Final, so please don#39;t install this with the idea of using it long term as a work station. Some users may be asked to test file edits, etc; to attempt bug fixes, but updated packages will not necessarily be supplied. When enough bugfixes accumulate we will release the next beta iso. Special thanks goes out to, Gettinther, He#39;s the one that really made this ISO happen. Thanks for pulling everything and everyone together! The guys and gals from Mypclinuxos.com (http://mypclinuxos.com/) , Hack.mypclinuxos.com (http://hack.mypclinuxos.com/), and the Beatification team for their help and efforts in fixing problems, building packages, and making this distro look great. We couldn#39;t have done it without them. The PCLinuxOS community who stepped up to help us out and have been patient during this long wait. Last but not least, Enki Consulting (http://www.enkiconsulting.net/) for providing hosting for our website and ibiblio.org (http://www.ibiblio.org/) for hosting our distribution.
