Product Details
This is sold as a two disc set
KDE Edition - 1 - 808 MB DVD
miniKDE Edition - 1 - 698MB CD
As usual the Bianca KDE Edition release is desktop-ready and comes with
support for most
video codecs and web plugins. Mint applications couldn't be ported in
time to KDE and are absent from this release, however mintdesktop's
home folders were added to it.
The default selection of packages is large and very up to date:
- KDE 3.5.6
- Amarok 1.4.5
- Koffice 1.6.2
- Firefox 2.0.0.3
The default mail application is Kontact, the default web browser is
Firefox and the default office suite is Koffice. Konqueror is still the
default file explorer but Dolphin 0.8 was also added as a tech-preview.
The KMenu was replaced with TastyMenu 0.7. This KDE Edition uses
the Bianca-Green theme and the Domino KDE Style with modifications from
Marius Nestor.
Here are some of the software installed by default:
- Krusader
- KFTPGrabber
- Scribus
- Inkscape
- KMyMoney
- K3B
- K9Copy
- KPowerSave and KNetworkManager
- The Gimp
- DigiKam
- Hugin
- Filelight
- Guarddog
- KPackage
For users who do not have a DVD burner we're also releasing a "miniKDE"
Edition which fits on a CD. The following items are not present in the
miniKDE Edition and we strongly encourage miniKDE Edition users to
install them after they downloaded and installed from the CD:
- Support for other languages (only English is supported by the
liveCD, other languages can be added once the system is installed)
- Inkscape
- Hugin
- Scribus
- KMymoney
- K9Copy
- The Gimp
- libicu34
- kde-icons-mono
- ttf-arabeyes
- diveintopython
Of course there was Ada, but this is our first stable release of a
KDE desktop. We hope you like it. Mint applications will progressively
be ported to KDE, then hit the Romeo repository and be backported
to Bianca so you'll enjoy the innovations that made the Main Edition
what it is today.
Please
note: $5.42 from this Linux Mint disc set is given to support the
continued development of Linux
Mint. We are proud to offer
our
support and encourage you to financially support Free and Open Source
Software development.
