New version of Black Lab Linux available.


Black Lab Linux 6.5 was released.

"Today we are pleased to announce the release of Black Lab Linux 6.5. With this release we continue to enhance and improve Black Lab Linux for public consumption. While the base is the same, the Open Distribution Release comes in four flavors. GNOME, MATE, Xfce and KDE. The Xfce release is built into the GNOME release because of customer demand. Some of our users run things like legacy 64-bit hardware, terminal services and certain systems where GNOME may not run all that great. So with that said here are some of the new features of Black Lab Linux: GNOME 3.10.4, MATE 1.8.1, KDE 4.14.2, Xfce 4.12, Linux kernel 3.13 LTS compatible, Linux kernel 3.16 default, VLC 2.2, Firefox 36, Thunderbird 31.5, Rhythmbox 3.1, FFmpeg 2.6, Google Chrome 41...."

Black Lab Linux (formerly OS4 OpenLinux) is a user-friendly desktop and server Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. Some of its most interesting features include support for popular browser plugins, addition of packages for multimedia production, content creation and software development, and an innovative desktop layout based on GNOME Shell. Separate editions with KDE and Xfce desktops are also available. The company behind the distribution also sells a desktop mini-system with Black Lab Linux pre-installed.
