14 DAY TRIAL // Parsix GNU/Linux, a live and installation DVD based on the testing packages from the Debian project that's using GNOME as the desktop, has been upgraded to version 7.5 Test 2 and is ready for download and testing.
The Parsix Linux 7.5 distribution, dubbed Rinaldo, aims to provide a stable experience, and that means integrating packages that were proved to be stable and that have been released for quite some time. This is true for the Linux kernel, the desktop environment, and numerous other packages.
The developers are closing in the final version of the operating system, and it looks like they have managed to decide on what they are going to implement. As it stands right now, the system was synchronized to Debian Wheezy repositories as of February 20, 2015.
