14 DAY TRIAL // Black Lab Software's CEO Roberto J. Dohnert is pleased to inform Softpedia today on the general availability of the Black Lab Enterprise Linux 11.5 operating system.
Based on the Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system, Black Lab Enterprise Linux 11.5 uses the latest Xfce 4.12 desktop environment by default for the Desktop edition and it's powered by the upstream Linux 4.10.0-40 kernel. This is the first release of the OS two ship with two editions, Desktop and Core.
"The first is full-featured, offering everything users need," said Roberto J. Dohnert. "Core is designed for embedded systems, IoT devices and users who want to build their own systems from the ground up; servers, appliances and specialized desktop environments can be brought out of Core."
