_____________________________________________________________________________________________________- This OS is for people that have never used Linux before or for people that just want a out-of-the-box working OS without doing all the tweaks and enhancements that everyone seems to do when installing a fresh copy of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a great OS but it’s default setup with it’s chosen programs are lacking functionality and ease of use, so all I did was listen to what people wanted and found the most user friendly programs for the task. Like using Shotwell for easily uploading images to Facebook, gtkpod for putting music, photos and video on a ipod/iphone and mvPod for converting the video to a iPod friendly format. All the programs have been chosen for there ease of use and functionality. The system was built to have eye candy (CoverGloobus, Gloobus Preview, GNOME Do, Docky) and for every part of it to be user-friendly, I even changed every file type to open with the right program, like for some reason by default .iso are opened with Archive Manager so I changed that to Brasero Disc Burner. Pinguy OS is just a custom built Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with added repository’s, tweaks and enhancements that can run as a Live DVD or be installed. It has all the added packages needed for video, music and web content .eg flash and java <http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4931/plugins10001.png>, plus I have done a few fixes as well. Like fixing wireless problems, gwibber’s facebook problem and flash videos in fullscreen. Everything is setup for samba, all you need to do is right click a folder you want to share and add a password in samba using system-config-samba. I have also added a Upnp server (pms-linux) so you can share your music, video’s .ect with a PS3, XBOX 360 or any other Upnp media reader. Nautilus has been changed for Elementary-Nautilus<http://elementary-project.com/news/nautilus-in-elementary/>with added plugins<http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/cover-thumbnailer-07-is-out-now-works.html>so it can get music <http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/CoverChooser?content=117330> and video <http://www.webupd8.org/2009/09/how-to-set-imdb-images-as-video.html>art from the web. The default theme is Elementary<http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/new-version-of-elementary-gnome-theme.html>using ttf-droid <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droid_%28font%29> font with Docky<http://wiki.go-docky.com/index.php?title=Welcome_to_the_Docky_wiki>and a custom Conky <http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9501964&postcount=12986>. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Screenshots: http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/9441/desk1001.th.jpg http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/3750/desk1004.th.jpg http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/1332/desk1p.th.jpg http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/1076/videosfilebrowser001.th.jpg http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/2023/musicfilebrowser002.th.jpg http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6889/collectionfilebrowser00.th.jpg _____________________________________________________________________________________________ I have added DVB support to Totem for anyone with a TV card that wants to watch tv on there PC but don’t want to install a whole program like myth-tv. If you have a 64-Bit processor you should go with the 64-Bit version of the OS, unless you have a technical or business reasons for not migrating to 64-bit Linux with compatible hardware, there is no reason to stick around with a 32-bit. The main reason for going with 64-bit is because it’s faster then 32-bit on the same hardware<http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_32_pae&num=1>and there aren’t many programs now that don’t run on 64-bit. *The following processors support 64-Bit:* - AMD 64-Bit processors ( Athlon 64, Opteron, later Sempron, Turion 64, Phenom, Athlon II and Phenom II processors) - Intel 64-Bit processors (Celeron D, later Pentium 4, Pentium D, later Xeon, Core 2 (not Core Duo), Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, and Atom processors) There maybe more so please check to see if your processor is compatible. If you have any doubts or are not sure if you have a 64-Bit processor go with the 32-Bit version. *Pinguy OS 10.04 x86-64 (64-Bit)* - *Download Link:* Pinguy_OS_10.04_x64.iso<http://nemu.doublezen.net/Pinguy_OS_10.04_x64.iso> - *Download Mirror:* Pinguy_OS_10.04_x64.iso<http://steve.blogme.us/files/Pinguy_OS_10.04_x64.iso> - *Download Mirror 2:* Pinguy_OS_10.04_x64.iso<http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8793578/Pinguy_OS_10.04_x64.iso> - *Torrent Link:* Pinguy OS 10.04_x64.torrent<http://www.kickasstorrents.com/torrents/pinguy-os-10-04-x64-t4239493/> - *Size:* 1.4GB - *md5sum:* f1de847785af4f629e66c34103230372 * Pinguy OS 10.04 i386 (32-Bit)* - *Download Link:* Pinguy OS 10.04_i386.iso<http://steve.blogme.us/files/Pinguy_OS_10.04_i386.iso> - *Download Mirror:* Pinguy OS 10.04_i386.iso<http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850699/Pinguy_OS_10.04_i386.iso> - *Torrent Link:* Pinguy OS 10.04_i386.torrent<http://www.kickasstorrents.com/torrents/pinguy-os-10-04-i386-t4247719/> - *Size:* 1.3GB - *md5sum:* dcaccd99132d4f1fbedd0fc451c2d6f4 There are a couple of small bug’s that are know and easy to fix.
