The Pinguy development team has just announced that Pinguy OS 11.10 Beta is now available for download.

The developers said that Pinguy OS 11.10 Beta could have been a final version if not for some problems with apps that are still in the Alpha / Beta stage and there are a few quirks like the property drivers messing up text and flash in Shell.

Highlights of Pinguy OS 11.10 Beta:

· Some changes have been made to the base system to improve speed and power usage. This is done by using zram, preload and granola;
· There is better HD video decoding by using libcrystalhd3;
· All the GNOME packages are running on 3.2.1;
· New GNOME 3 apps: gnome-contacts and gnome-documents are included;
· XBMC-PVR is installed so you can use your PC as a DVR;
· Firefox 8 is included with all the needed plugins for content on the web including Moonlight for Silverlight content.
