We are happy to announce that Peppermint OS One will release on Monday May 10th by 12:00 PM [ Noon] EDT. We are super excited !! We are even more excited to join together with you on this journey to take Peppermint and see where we can go with it, push the limits, and exceed your [and our] expectations.
Also, this morning The Linux Critic gave a very detailed review of Peppermint OS One. Here are a few choice words..
Let me be absolutely clear about one thing: Peppermint Linux OS is fast. Really fast. On this tired old laptop, Peppermint boots up from a cold, powered down state in just under 25 seconds from me hitting the power button to being able to log in graphically….. I can’t even imagine what this OS would be like on newer hardware. It’d be unbelievable.
Again, stay tuned on Monday May 10th and you’ll be ready to dig into Peppermint yourself !! Thanks to all the Beta Testers and their feedback as this was critical for us to move forward.
Have a great week
Team Peppermint
Thanks to Read Write Web for a nice pre-release write up!
Peppermint, a new Linux-based operating system with a focus on cloud computing and Web applications, is launching into a private beta this week to a limited number of participants, and will open up later next month to even more. The OS is a fork of Lubuntu and uses some of Linux Mint’s configuration files, hence the name “Peppermint.” Unlike desktop-focused Linux distributions, running applications on Peppermint won’t require “installing countless numbers of software packages and reading wikis all Saturday afternoon,” reads the product homepage. Instead, users will run Web apps in their own windows via Mozilla’s Prism technology.
Another nice pre-release write up from eWeek.com !!
A new cloud-focused Linux flavor launched recently; known as Peppermint, the operating system has entered a small, private beta and will open up to more testers over the next two to four weeks.
The Peppermint OS is aimed at the cloud. Indeed, the Peppermint homepage describes the OS as:
“Cloud/Web Application Centric, Sleek, User Friendly and Insanely Fast!! Peppermint was designed for enhanced mobility, efficiency and ease of use. While other operating systems are taking 10 minutes to load, you are already connected, communicating and getting things done. And, unlike other operating systems, Peppermint is ready to use out of the box.”
