Hi everyone, I'm pleased to announce updated releases of the GeckoLinux Rolling editions. These are live installable images based on openSUSE Tumbleweed with its frequent and extremely well tested stable rolling releases, combined with Packman driver and multimedia support. After installation, GeckoLinux Rolling systems can be easily updated in sync with the current release of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Changes to all GeckoLinux Rolling editions: The base Tumbleweed system is now at the 20161226 snapshot version. The Calamares installer has received some minor bug fixes and an improved configuration to remove all of its unnecessary package dependencies from the installed system. Additionally, the official Google Chrome repository is now available and pre-configured out of the box, together with the previously available Google Talk plugin and Skype repositories. And finally, third-party package repository signing keys have been pre-loaded so that users are not prompted to trust them on the first run.

Cinnamon Rolling edition: There are no new changes apart from those previously mentioned in the base system. This edition features the Cinnamon 3.2 environment. Download it here:
