14 DAY TRIAL // MakuluLinux 5 Xfce, a Linux distribution based on the Debian testing branch, Jessie, that provides stability, speed, and a modern desktop, is now available for download.
MakuluLinux 5 represents the evolution of this distribution, and the developer has put a lot of effort into it. This can be clearly seen from number of features and changes implemented from one version to another.
“Pre-compiled with hundreds of themes and wallpapers, users can really take full advantage of configuring their desktop to their liking. Dual Menus now allow users to either click bottom left of the desktop to make use of the familiar whisker menu or click bottom right and make use of the fancy mouse driven slingshot launcher.”
“New features enable users to receive wallpapers, themes and icon packs and news without the need for any user interaction. MakuluLinux Xfce 5.0 is also the first release to show off the newly revamped Makulu Installer,” reads the official announcement.
