Posted at January 10, 2012 | By : | Categories : News | 13 Comments

The team is proud to announce the immediate availability of Asturix 4.

Some of its features:

  • A new desktop experience. We have developed a new desktop environment to improve usability, productivity and help you stay focused. It just works
  • It has the biggest color palette in the world by default. We signed a partnership with GiveLifeCS so you can enjoy more than 5000 colors when you’re using GIMP, Inkscape or another design apps
  • Previews of all. Now you don’t have to open the full LibreOffice to preview a document. Hit space on any file, with any extension and preview it. It’s all about productivity
  • Social and microblogging networks integrated, such as Twitter, Facebook or Identi.ca
  • Asturix Bridge lets you to add, remove and execute web applications as native applications
  • Chromium web browser, LibreOffice, GIMP, Clementine, VLC… it has all the apps you want to find in a default install. Plus you can install tons of apps from the Software Center
  • Libre and free music thanks to Jamendo bundled into the music player Clementine, and it’s legal!
  • Cool workspace management using Super+S keys
Known issues:
  • There is a pink zone in the installer. Ok, maybe this is not an issue :P
  • Some settings are not initialized in the fallback session. Will solve it soon
  • VirtualBox must have Guest Additions to run it properly

    Por ahora no la conocía, la he descubierto en Softpedia, y la tengo que probar ahora mismo, parece muy interesante. Muchas gracias por contribuir al mundo Linux.

    Congratulations!
    Wish you luck with the new way of using one’s desktop. I’ve been using your Asturix On for sometime, so I know it is good.
    Good luck!

    Of all the new styles of desktops that have been surfacing I really like this one. Great Job. First time user but have installed and using as my daily for a while. Hats of Asturix

    Muy buen trabajo. Una presentación muy cuidada y una mayor facilidad de uso a todos los niveles. ¿Qué hace la Consejería de Educación y el Gobierno de Asturies ante estos esfuerzos tan loables para crear herramientas de educación tan eficaces y baratas?

    That doesn’t look like a new desktop for me. It looks like gnome3 with some customisation. Or what’s the differemnce?

    @kmb, there are a lot of differencies. The design can be similar for you, but it’s completely wrong. Are similar Opensuse and Fedora because they use Gnome3?

    Impresionante Distro. Acabo de instalarla en mi Asus eee 1015PX y reconoció absolutamente todo: Wifi sin problemas, buena duración de batería, cámara y hasta el mic interno, cosa que no me ocurría con otras distros. Todo esto sin modificar o agregar nada. Lo único que en el administración de “energía” no está la opción de “apagar el equipo” al cerrar la tapa. Solo suspender o hibernar .
    FELICITACIONES !!!
