14 DAY TRIAL // The second Alpha release of the upcoming Skolelinux 7.0 (formerly Debian Edu) Linux operating system has been made available for download and testing last evening, June 10, 2013.
Skolelinux 7.0.0 Alpha 2 is still based on the stable Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 (Wheezy) distribution and features Iceweasel 17, the xoscope oscilloscope application, the GTick metronome software, the Lingot musical instrument tuner, and Piano Booster, a MIDI file player.
Last but not least, the following packages have been updated in Skolelinux 7.0.0 Alpha 2: libxv, libxvmc, libxfixes, libxrender, Mesa, xserver-xorg-video-openchrome, libxt, libxcursor, libxext, libxi, libxrandr, libxp, libxcb, libfs, libxres, libxtst, libxxf86dga, libxinerama, libxxf86vm, libx11, Chromium, gnutls26, Wireshark, krb5, telepathy-gabble and Subversion.
The TightVNC Server application is now used as xrdp on thin client servers, instead of Xvnc4. There are also lots of bugs fixed in this release, so make sure you check out the release notes.
