The developers of the Debian-based Robolinux distro are happy to announce the release and immediate availability of Robolinux 8.8.1 Xfce, LXDE, Cinnamon, and MATE editions.

Based on the latest Debian GNU/Linux 8.8 "Jessie" operating system series, Robolinux 8.8.1 is here packed with over 200 updated components and security patches that have been released through the Debian Stable software repositories during the past several months.

Robolinux 8.8.1 is powered by Debian Jessie's latest Linux 3.16 kernel, includes the Mozilla Firefox 53.0 web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird 45.6.0 email and news client applications, and comes with more than 120 custom built wireless, graphics and printer drivers.

"All Robolinux Raptor 8.8.1 versions including our recent release of Mate 3D and Xfce 3D are based on 100% rock solid current Debian 8 stable source code running the newest Debian 3.16 Linux kernel plus over 200 important upstream security and application updates," reads the release announcement.

Supports running Windows XP, 7 and 10 virus free in virtual machines

Those who managed to get a taste of Robolinux before should know that the Debian-based GNU/Linux distribution comes with a StealthVM feature based on the Oracle VirtualBox virtualization software to let users run either the Windows XP, Windows 7 or Windows 10 operating systems virus free inside virtual machines.

This makes Robolinux the perfect testbed for those planning on ditching Microsoft Windows for Linux. Robolinux 8 "Raptor" series is an LTS (Long Term Support) release supported until 2020, and you can download the Robolinux 8.8.1 64-bit and 32-bit Live ISO images right now from our website.
