g.Noblin (ISO) (967) - g.Noblin (ZIP) (Version 3.0) (567)

The G:Noblin edition include the latest packages of the GNOME 2.24. and several improvements and modifications in the core of the system. Some important changes are: several bugs and errors have been corrected, added Vuze and Java JRE, some duplicated applications were removed, some interfaces were rebuilt to look better inside netbooks, include all files from each package and more.

Another major change is the release of a distribution without remove any files including all locales (internationalization files). In order to enable your own language with G:Noblin you must press TAB just after you select an Isolinux menu item and type a paramater, for example, i18n=de_DE to start using deutsche language. You need to know your locale alias to start using your favorite language. This method will use gettext to change the default language and only few applications will continue using english.

The G:Noblin brings to you two kinds of desktop environment inside the same ISO (cdrom). The first is the default Gnome desktop and the second is a special prepared interface for Netbooks, using the Ubuntu Netbook Remix model and some ideas provided by Foresight.

The G:Noblin is available as an ISO image of the CD, you just need to download and burn it with your favorite cd-writing software and then boot from cd-rom. For USB is distributed as a ZIP archive. Simply unzip it to your USB device and run bootinst.bat (for Windows users) or bootinst.sh (for Linux users) to make it bootable. It is lso available the source code repository.
