Quick Look: Peppermint Ice 10012010
Peppermint Ice has a new release out today, so I decided to make it the inaugural Quick Look for Eye On Linux. Peppermint Ice, if you aren’t familiar with it, is a cloud-oriented distro based on Ubuntu.
What’s New
Here’s a sample of what’s new in this release:
* The default Linux kernel has been updated to version 2.6.35. In an effort to continually try to offer the best possible hardware support, we felt this was a good move for the Ice release
* A number of lower level updates such as Grep 2.7.0, Samba 3.5.5, File 5.04, Freetype 2.4.2 and others have been implemented in order to offer a more up to date system while remaining primarily on the LTS code base.
* Ice now has improved support for Broadcom wireless cards, and some nVidia graphics cards. The implementation is not as complete as in Peppermint One, but is an improvement over the initial Ice release.
* The “Desktop Preferences” application is now available in the menu.
Using Peppermint Ice 10012010
I took the new version of Peppermint Ice for a spin today and it worked very well. The install is quick and painless, even for newbies. Speed and stability both seemed fine to me, I had no problems running any of the applications I used and I didn’t run into any noticeable problems.
