14 DAY TRIAL // Alan Baghumian was proud to inform us earlier today about the immediate availability for download of the final release of Parsix GNU/Linux 7.5r0, a computer operating system derived from Debian 7 Wheezy.
Dubbed Rinaldo, Parsix GNU/Linux 7.5r0 is built on top of the upstream Debian 7.0 Wheezy repositories as of April 26, 2015, updates the default desktop environment to GNOME 3.14, and is powered by some of the latest stable Linux technologies, such as Linux kernel 3.14.41 LTS, GRUB 2, Glibc 2.13, and X.Org Server 1.16.4, all of which bring an improved desktop performance.
Furthermore, the built-in installer has been enhanced with better support for UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) systems, and various applications have been updated, including LibreOffice 4.3.3, Empathy 3.12.8, GNU Iceweasel (Firefox) 37.0.2, GNOME Shell 3.14.4, VirtualBox 4.3.18, Gparted 0.12.1, Chromium 37.0, GIMP 2.8.2, Grisbi 1.0.0, and VLC Media Player 2.0.6.
"This version has been synchronized with Debian Wheezy repositories as of April 26, 2015. Parsix Rinaldo ships with GNOME 3.14 and LibreOffice 4.3.3 productivity suit by default," says Alan Baghumian in the release announcement for Parsix GNU/Linux 7.5r0.
Linux kernel 3.14.41 LTS has received extra patches
It is very important to mention that the Parsix GNU/Linux 7.5r0 distribution comes with one of the latest kernels from the 3.14 series, which is an LTS (Long Term Support) version supported with security patches and bug fixes for a few more years compared with regular releases. Linux kernel 3.14.41 LTS is included in the new Parsix GNU/Linux release and it's patched with Brain Fuck Scheduler (BFS), TuxOnIce 3.3, and a few more other goodies.
As usual, you can download Parsix GNU/Linux 7.5r0 right now from Softpedia. In the downloads section, you will find Live DVD ISO images for both 32- and 64-bit hardware architectures. These ISO images have been compressed using the latest and greatest XZ and SquashFS compression methods.
