NimbleX 2008 is out! |
|
|
I am pleased to announce that I finally got the courage to release the final version of NimbleX 2008!
It seems that I felt 2008RC was not close enough to release 2008 final as soon as I planed but I hope in the end it was all for the best.
The final was released a bit late for some because:
- The USB installer got some new improvements.
- RC was drastically slimmed to fit more usable things...
- VirtualBox OSE is now standard so, have fun with other OSs
- Partimage it's in NimbleX so you can backup/restore stuff
- Added some initial clustering support with OpenMPI
- A basic Firefox Kiosk mode can be booted from the CD
- A lot of software was updated to the latest version
- Bluetooh was finally fixed and it seems to work good
- You have some basic servers to play or work with.
- Compiz was cleaned a bit and some usability was added
- Many things where done. I'll let you decide if you like it

NimbleX 2008 RC |

NimbleX 2008 RC, just escaped to be enjoyed by the world!
I am very pleased to announce the Release Candidate of NimbleX 2008!
Since Beta there are major differences and it's the closest thing I can imagine to final version. Actually the main reason for calling it RC is the eventuality some important bug sneaked in.
The important highlights since beta are:
- lost 16MB to be back to 200MB
- Addition of the NimbleX USB Installer
- Improvements to the Safe Installer
- NimbleX is now split in 9 for greater flexibility
- Added important software like: LinuxDC++, Avidemux and the GSlapt Package Manager
- Polished many things so that it pleases the eye :)
- Compiz was added and configured in NimbleX. For starters, everyone that has a 3D card supported out of the box by X can enjoy the 3D effects. Hopefuly, in the future, people will contribute to package drivers for this feature.
- many more other changes

NimbleX 2008 Beta has finally been released!
After many months of using it, I finally decided is good enough to be released as a Beta version of NimbleX 2008. Several things still need to be polished but overall it's an important step towards what's going to be NimbleX 2008.
The most significant changes are from the technology point of view, that in the future should provide a significant increase in usability and stability.
The major highlights since NimbleX 2007 are:
- the Experimental Safe Installer
- the better LZM compression
- 2008 Beta is split in 5 pices
- 9 Desktop environments
- and many other things.
