14 DAY TRIAL // Semplice Linux is Linux distribution based on Debian's Sid branch that aims to offer users a straightforward and light experience. This is done by integrating the latest packages and by using the Openbox window manager.
Semplice 7.x has been dubbed "Comfortably Numb," and if you give it a go, you will notice that it's not your average operating system. It doesn't have a dock or launcher, so users will have to adjust their way of using an OS. It might not be the best way of gaining new members, but it's a sure way of getting yourself noticed.
Everything is done with the right-click, and once you figure out how it works, it will feel natural. It's also quite interesting to note that the Semplice developers have always tried to stay on the bleeding end, which means that they used the latest packages available for the distros, including the Linux kernel. In this case, Linux kernel 3.19.3 was used, but the stable edition was released before the 4.0 branch of the kernel was made available.
Semplice 7.0.1 is a small maintenance release
It's difficult to prepare for any problem that might arise, and it looks like Semplice Linux had some problems booting some of the machines. This issue was fixed with a kernel upgrade, but developers also had to upgrade ISOs
"It's my pleasure to announce the immediate release of the first bugfix release of Semplice 7. It has been discovered that some machines won't boot with the kernel version shipped in Semplice 7. The issue has now been addressed and corrected in the kernel version 3.19-3.semplice.1, which is shipping in this bugfix release."
"This means that if you had some issues booting Semplice 7 in you machine, these new ISO images should work properly," writes the developer on the official website.
A complete list of changes can be found in the official announcement. You can download Semplice Linux 7.1 right now from Softpedia and give it a spin.
