What's new in Greenie Linux Desktop Edition 14.04.1
May 12, 2014
- At approximately 1GB we put kernel 3.13, LXDE environment, few common programs (VLC, Firefox, etc) and of course those, which were the reason this system was built.
- New Greenie, named internally as "MoReWrite", which is a strange acronym of "Modify, Read and Write" focuses mostly on e-books and documents.
- If you read books, edit, write, translate or convert them, all needed tools are on this single medium. Including Slovak and Czech language packs.
- From tools we can mention LibreOffice suite, PDF viewer (incl. programs for editing PDF), programs for undisturbed writing, converting various kinds of e-books and all for production of a book from creating cover and formatting to testing on e-readers.
- Calibre, Sigil, FbReader, Geany and more programs will definitely suit someone who takes books at least somewhat seriously.
- Of course it is possible to use Greenie as a completely normal system, which runs on less powerful computers. 32bit edition is prepared, which requires at least 256MB ram (at least 512 is a much better choice) for proper functioning.
- Greenie e-book is based on Lubuntu 14.04 LTS. We also managed to fit a few games, console tools and our tiny pearl is adding some PPA repositories and fonts.
