Product Details
New Innovations,
New Software, New Repository
We've put a lot of efforts
into Bianca and started writing our own applications and our own
packages. A new repository was
added to Bianca for users to be able to get the latest innovations
through APT upgrades. It is also possible to upgrade from Bea to
Bianca.
The following applications were added to Bianca:
- mintMenu,
a replacement for the Gnome menu which is inspired by SUSE's Slab and
based on USP.
- mintConfig,
a Control Center application which is inspired by SUSE's configuration
tool and based on UCP.
- mintDisk,
a program which automatically
mounts FAT32 and NTFS (Read/Write) partitions
(which are not defined in fstab) and places a shortcut on the desktop.
- mintDesktop,
a program which among other things "mounts" Windows network
neighbourhoods.
- mintWifi,
which contains
a guide, a collection of drivers and a diagnostic tool to make it easy
for you to set up your WIFI card without having to connect to the
Internet.
And
last but not least...
- inserting an ipod doesn't launch amarok anymore
- upgraded all packages including Firefox to version 2.0.0.1 and Amarok
to version 1.4.5
- the live CD now supports 6 languages: English, French, Spanish,
Greek, Swedish and Turkish.
- OpenOffice 2.1 comes with support for English, French, Spanish,
Swedish, Italian and Turkish. Support for other languages was added to
the repository.
Please

Mint. We are proud to offer

support and encourage you to financially support Free and Open Source
Software development.
