This release is available with either the Cinnamon or MATE desktop, in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. There is good news for those who are concerned about compatibility with non-PAE CPUs: the 32-bit version of this release comes with a 486-compatible kernel by default. However, this has a negative impact for those who want to use 32-bit multi-core CPUs. The situation is described in detail in the Known Problems document.
This release comes with Linux Kernel 3.11.8 and of course the latest release of the two desktops, Cinnamon 2.0 and MATE 1.6, X.Org Server 1.14.3, Firefox 27.0, Thunderbird 24.3 and LibreOffice 4.1.3.2.
So far I have loaded it on four systems, two UEFI and two Legacy/BIOS/MBR:
- Acer Aspire One 725 (UEFI)
- HP Pavilion dm1-4310ez (UEFI)
- Lenovo T400 (BIOS/MBR)
- Samsung N150 Plus (BIOS/MBR)
The installation was absolutely routine with the exception of the well-known difficulty with UEFI firmware configuration on the HP Pavilion.There was even good news on that system, though, because the very difficult wi-fi adapter (Ralink 3290) seems to work just fine.
Every bit of hardware on every one of these four systems was supported, with drivers loaded automatically and everything working as it should. Graphic display and screen support was also good, ranging from the 10" (1024x600) display on the Samsung netbook to the dual monitors (1280x768 laptop and 1920x1080 external) on the Lenovo.
I will look at this distribution in more detail when the final release is available. For now I just want to report my initial successes with the release candidate.
