14 DAY TRIAL // Robolinux, a fast and easy to use Linux distribution based on Debian, has been updated and its developer has added a number of important changes and improvements since the previous edition.
Robolinux uses a piece of technology called Stealth VM Software, which allows users to create a clone of a Windows Operating System with all the installed programs and updates. It should work, in theory, but there isn't enough feedback to see how good this particular solution really is.
Besides this important feature, which is one of the most important ones implemented in this distribution, the developer has also made a few other major changes and he has added quite a few new packages.
“We've been listening carefully to our User Base and have delivered many popular upgrades plus expert Tech Support for Robolinux Version 7.5.4.”
“According to our Users, Forums do not provide satisfactory or timely Support so now the Robolinux Stealth VM and C Drive to VM software downloads which run on all 500 Linux Operating Systems now include prompt expert Tech Support since most Windows users want immediate answers to their questions while they are installing our software,” said the developers in the official announcement.
According to the changelog, users can now use the Netflix after the necessary Silverlight emulator plugin has been added to the Robolinux “Proprietary & Other Software Installers,” the Plex Media Server has been added to the Robolinux “Proprietary & Other Software Installers” so the user can install it with just one click, Skype has been updated to the newest version, 4.3, the Kdendlive Linux Video Editor has been added to the Robolinux “Proprietary & Other Software Installers,” and Unetbootin has been added to the newest version in Robolinux, which comes with a fix for an old DVD error bug.
Also a current Firefox installer has been added (sometimes Debian overwrites Firefox with an Iceweasel software update), and all upstream security and regular Debian Stable updates have been added to Robolinux.
To make things even more interesting, the Linux Live Creator Windows executable files have been added to the download section in the FAQ web page. Windows users will now be able to choose between Unetbootin and Linux Live Creator to install Robolinux from a USB stick.
More details about the Stealth VM Software and Robolinux can be found in the official changelog. Also, you can download Robolinux 7.5.4 right now from Softpedia, for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
