About SolusOS:-
It nothing but a operating
system of modern world/era. It is based on Debian (the most popular Linux
distribution). It support all our
today’s computing needs including features are word processing, file sharing,
editing, audio/video playback and more.
It’s your turn to enjoy all of
the comforts of the modern desktop.
Once you have installed this
OS you’re ready to go. Internet browsing plays latest 3D games, sit back and
watch a DVD. We can manage our MP3 collection all from one system.
News about SolusOS 1.3:-
SolusOS 1.3 is on his way.However
several compromises will likely have to me made. We are no longer planning EFI
support for this release, as its put us at a total stalemate. However an
updated ISO with newer kernel will be released.
An updated kernel is also
planned, however the LiveCD may have to use an older kernel to boot itself. The
installed system will use an updated kernel.

About Alpha 7 release:-
This

Desktop + Components (3.4). This will eventually be a distro-agnostic desktop
environment providing the classic experience of GNOME 2 in a GTK3 environment.
We encourage everyone to test, not just the distribution, but the desktop
itself.

complains about a recursive error on /dev/hdc, this is kernel related
VirtualBox/DKMS

SolusOS
Desktop Environment (GNOME 3.4 based)
 |
| Software Manager |
About Alpha 6 release:-
In
this release team are showcasing the SolusOS 2 (new Desktop Environment for). Originally
based on GNOME 3.4 yet does not feature GNOME Shell. Base idea is to restore
the traditional desktop metaphor as seen in GNOME2, and expand on it.
To do
this many components of GNOME have been patched, and in some places forked.Team
have Athena, Athena is nothing but a shiny new file manager. This is a fork of
Nautilus 3.4.2 and restores some sanity in terms of the user experience.
A full
length customizable and awesome toolbar is present, main needed functionality,
like shortcuts, creating desktop etc. User interface is inspired by Nautilus
Elementary 2.32.
Traditional
interaction support by GNOME Panel and simple way to interact is, right click
and add applets to the panel. It behaves identically to the 2.x GNOME Panel,
barring the ability to lock applets, as they are located via (LEFT, CENTER and
RIGHT) zones.
Issues
Two main issues are:
Booting
to black screen after installation. (if you are affected do one thing Please
remove vga=792 from your boot line)
Crashing
of Minitube immediately (A package update will follow to resolve this)
Decision of release
This
ISO is based on Debian (with GDM logo) to provide a development and testing
environment for the rest of the SolusOS 2 ISO’s. It will vastly simplify the
production of the new system, and serves as a demonstration platform for what
is evolving into the SolusOS Desktop Environment.
