So far the current build of LuninuX OS 12.00 Beta 2 seems very responsive and less resource demanding, take a look at this video of it in VitualBox with 496MB of RAM and 248MB SWAP. Plans have been made to release Beta 2 May 18, 2012.
This is simply beautiful, watch this amazing Aurora natural light display I found on deviantArt.com. One of the greatest scenery I’ve come across so far in my life.
I’ve been running LuninuX OS 11.11 on my 10.1 inch Aspire One since i released it back in December, I have notice it slows down a few time after waking up from hibernation and suspension; this has prompted me to start working on an optimized version on LuninuX OS that will require less resources. I will keep this post updated for future ideas that come in mind, but as always feel free to send suggestions. I really like this suggestion “Focus on eyecandy (to get new users), stability (to keep users), and usability (to make users more efficient) without sacrificing speed (of course!” – Vernview
12.00 Beta 2 Release
The decision to bring pure Gnome to LuninuX OS in the second release Beta has proved beneficial – you will find many improvements, such as speed, responsiveness, stability and less resource usage. The login prompt is GDM and there are three sessions, Gnome Shell, Gnome Classic, and Gnome Fallback. Many of the applications included is Firefox, Banshee, LibreOffice, Liferea, Gimp, Cairo Dock, Docky, Wine and most of the multimedia plugings. If there is a problem with the autologin for the Live Mode, select a session and type “luninux” as the user name and leave the password blank then login. There are download links below and on the Download page as well. Please try to download it in a few hours. It is being uploaded.
