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:
