Release notes for Peppermint OS [as of 06.09.2011] :

Peppermint OS is based upon, and is compatible with, Ubuntu 11.04 and it’s repositories. Specifically, Peppermint OS is a fork of Lubuntu. Please check the release notes for both Ubuntu and Lubuntu.

Known issues:

• The Ice application used to create SSB’s will download standard favicons to use as menu and window icons for the application. If a website does not have a standard favicon then a stock icon will be used instead.
• Selecting “Software Sources” in the Software Manager can occasionally cause the window to temporarily crash. It is recommended that you use “Software Sources” in the “System Tools” menu.
• There have been some reports of systems equipped with certain NVIDIA cards having prolonged graphics issues. We’re working on a database of these cards and a workaround.
• Setting the wallpaper to a solid color in the “Desktop Preferences” application causes a display server error and will end your session. This is a known upstream bug and a fix is being worked on.

For any additional issues, please consult one of our official support channels so that the issue may be documented and dealt with. Do note that some issues exist upstream and are out of our immediate reach, but we do promise to try and resolve things in as timely a manner as possible.

Some of the packages we distribute are under GNU General Public License and other open source licences. If you would like to access their source code you can use the “apt source” command after enabling the necessary source repositories. If you can’t find what you’re looking for please write to support AT peppermintos DOT com and we’ll provide the source to you. Note that we will provide you with a link to the adequate source, should that package be one we do not maintain or if you’re not presently in a situation to use the “apt source” command. We will not email source packages, rather we will email links to them. All open source packages included in Peppermint OS will have a linkable and downloadable source package prior to their inclusion in the operating system.
