Libranet is a user-friendly Debian-derived distribution featuring hassle-free installer and system administration capabilities.
Libranet 3.0 has been much anticipated by its loyal customers, who have been waiting for this release for quite some time now. It had been almost two years since their last 2.8.1 version came out in 2003- a long time in the world of tech. With such a gap, there was concern that they were caught up in the endless development loop, which meant that they were always playing catch up with other distributions. However, the wait is finally over, and we are excited to see how they have managed to keep up with the fast-changing technological world.
Here are some of the features of the Linux-based platform and operating system, Libranet 3.0. This version comes with the Linux kernal 2.6.11.4, KDE 3.3.2, GNOME 2.8.3, and Xfce4 for desktop environments. The version also includes Gcc 3.3, X.org 6.8.2, Evolution 2.0.3, OpenOffice.org 1.1.3, Gaim 1.1.4, Mozilla Firefox 1.0.2/Thunderbird 1.0.2, and K3b 0.11.20.
Libranet 3.0 is available in the form of five CDs or as a single DVD. You can opt to download it as an ISO image or as physical media shipped via snail mail. Currently, ISO images are the only option, but physical CDs are available for pre-order on the Libranet site and will be shipped at the end of May 2005.
Although some of the desktop environments included are outdated, they still serve the purpose of providing a productive desktop experience. While there are more recent Debian offerings available, these desktops still have their merit. If you feel the need to upgrade them to the latest versions, modifying the apt sources list will help you get there in a jiffy. One notable fact is that unlike other Debian-based distributions like Xandros and Linspire, adding additional Debian mirrors will not cause irreversible damage.
All in all, Libranet 3.0 is worth checking out. It has all the features you would expect from a Linux-based OS, and its performance is comparable to other distros in the market. Its ease of installation, user interface, and configurability make it a desirable option for those looking for a stable and reliable desktop environment.
