14 DAY TRIAL // Patrick Emmabuntus is pleased to inform us today about the release and immediate availability of the Emmabuntus 3 1.04 update of the educational-oriented GNU/Linux distribution based on Xubuntu and the Xfce desktop environment.
Emmabuntüs 3 1.04 is the fourth maintenance update in the series based on the long-term supported Xubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) operating system, bringing numerous improvements and updated components. Prominent new features include Lilo as an alternative web search engine to respect the privacy of users when using the Internet and the implementation of the new UEFI standard for 64-bit PCs.
"This update should further ease the refurbishing work accomplished by the associations using Emmabuntüs, first and foremost our YovoTogo friends, who are going to utilize it heavily in order to equip the 125 computers to be sent in Togo by the end of June 2017, and then used by our friends of JUMP Lab'Orione in the frame of the training sessions occurring within the North Togo colleges," said the devs in the announcement.
Incorporates all the improvements from Emmabuntüs Debian Edition
Bundled with all the improvements published in the official Debian Edition of the operating system, Emmabuntüs 3 1.04 is powered by the Linux 3.13 kernel that's available in the Xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS operating system, and includes lots of new apps, among which we can mention Scratch text editor, KeepassX password manager, Systemback data backup utility, and Baobab disk usage analyzer.
It also ships with a utility to reinstall the standard Emmabuntüs Cairo-Dock, which can now be enabled or disabled by default, the 32-bit version of the Arduino IDE, Kazam screen capture tool instead of recordMyDesktop, gnome-search-tool local search utility instead of Catfish, and Adobe Flash Player 25 instead of Pipelight and Pepper. This update removes Evolution and SMB4k tools.
Among other noteworthy improvements brought by the Emmabuntüs 3 1.04 release, we can mention full-screen support in VirtualBox, support for Dock launchers to always open the default web browser, updates to various Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird and Chromium add-ons, updated Emmabuntüs Cairo-Dock launcher utility, and single window mode by default in GIMP.
