Peppermint Nation,

Good morning to everyone from the Peppermint headquarters in the gorgeous mountains of Western North Carolina. Remember when we on board to release Peppermint Two several months ago and we put out the word that we were having the Peppermint Two Wallpaper Challenge? Well, to make a long story short we did get a submission that really grabbed us and fit the color scheme we were driving for. This winning submission was simply named ‘Peppermint Cold’ and its the default wallpaper you see every time you install Peppermint Two. However, shortly after we made the announcement and alerted the winning artist we could not locate them to claim the prize….. for months and months….. until today !!

In other news: We were just informed yesterday that Linux Magazine and Linux Pro Magazine will be issuing a special edition soon titled “Google Tools” and that every copy, going to 100 countries world wide, will have a Peppermint Two installation CD riding on the front cover!!  A big thanks to Linux Magazine for recognizing our hard work and dedication. We can’t wait to see the special edition

Peppermint Nation,

Being part of the family of Linux distributions around the world is very exciting to us at Peppermint.  One of the best ways to be involved is contributing back to other projects. Today we are very proud to announce the Lubuntu 64bit edition that was created for the Lubuntu community by Kendall Weaver and Nick Canupp from team Peppermint. Please read more at OMG! Ubuntu and download Lubuntu 64bit today

Peppermint would also like to congratulate Lubuntu on becoming an Official Derivative of Ubuntu earlier this week. Read More here

Thanks to Lubuntu for all their support of Peppermint. They are a great Linux distribution and community indeed.

Cheers to all!
