Pinguy OS

It’s been awhile since I have posted anything on here so thought I should. Pinguy OS is still being activity worked on. There has been a release for 12.10 and a 13.04 release is being worked on at the moment. If you want to keep up to date with the development of Pinguy OS its [...]

Just to let everyone know I am dealing with money issues at the moment, so I have had to take on more contract jobs to pay the bills (what has left me less time working on Pinguy OS). 12.04 is very close to being ready. At the moment I am waiting for a kernel update. [...]

This is a Beta version that needs extensive test and feed-back. Best way to do that is our Forum in a Topic that is being created. This is very similar to the 11.10 release but this is using Ubuntu 12.04 as a base and is using the updated and much improved Gnome 3.4 So for [...]

This post has nothing to do with Pinguy OS, but its a matter that could effect it so decided to do a post about it. If you are unsure what SOPA is watch this: I wrote a post on forum that was discussing SOPA because someone on there was saying he was in support for [...]

This is just a quick post letting people know that the Mini’s are done. If you want to know more about what Pinguy OS Mini is read the info for the mini 11.04 here: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/pinguy-os-mini-11041-stipped-down.html There is a problem with the 32-bit version where the menu isn’t tight against the side. This doesn’t happen when [...]

Due to a few things I don’t feel comfortable enough releasing this as a final. A few of the used apps are still in the alpha/beta stage and there is a few quirks like some of the proprietary drivers breaking the text and flash in Shell. Gnome Shell is still pretty new and does need [...]

Both the 32-bit and 64-bit alphas are done. All the Gnome packages are running on 3.2.1 Many of the Gnome packages where held back in the Ubuntu repo like Totem. New default wallpaper thanks to M1C4HTRON13. Docky’s Clementine helper now works. Nearly all the final apps and features are now installed and working. Both Conky [...]

EDIT# Alpah now out http://blog.pinguyos.com/12414219852 This is no where near finished but if you want to have a look at what I have so far you can. Many of the final apps are not included and a few of the installed apps might get removed/replaced in later releases. But what we have got so far [...]

Here are some screen shots of the Gnome Shell version of Pinguy OS. Haven’t really posted much news on how 11.10 is going, so thought I should give you a glimpse into how the shell version is looking at the moment. Still a lot of work needs to be done but it is coming along. [...]

This new GNOME file manager just had its first official release and it’s being called the Emperor file manager. The file manager is inspired by Midnight Commander while having a GTK3 interface via Gala. This file manager also boasts GIO support so that it integrates with the GNOME desktop and can take advantage of GVFS-FUSE. [...]
