Testing OpenGEU 8.04 Beta
Ever since the release of OpenGEU 8.04 Beta a few days ago, I felt I needed to see for myself what it brought new and to take a closer look at the praised E17 Desktop shell. Combining the power and flexibility of Ubuntu and Gnome with the beauty of E17, OpenGEU 0.04 (Luna Crescente) aims to make the step forward in developing a user-friendly system.
As Luca De Marini, the designer behind OpenGEU said, this release is somehow not quite appropriate in timing with the new Ubuntu being so close to the release date, but it's nevertheless a great OS to reside on anyone's computer. With these words from the OpenGEU team, I began installing it one of our computers, here at the Softpedia Labs, my expectations being very high, as also was my trust in a great release.
Unfortunately, the installation did not go as smoothly as I hoped, costing me some extra twenty minutes or so until I managed to make it work. I don't know for sure whose fault it was, meaning either of my hardware or of the installer, but when I first loaded the CD nothing happened, I mean the computer failed repeatedly to boot, so I began wondering what the problem might be.
