GoblinX Project

The GoblinX Project is proud to announce the first released of the next G:Standard. The G:Standard 3.0.beta01 (2.9.90) is Released. The G:Standard is the original edition first released in the end of October 2004. In the past it was called as GoblinX and later as GoblinX Standard. In order to dismiss doubt about the releases and follow the same criteria used for all dsitributions (editions) of the GoblinX Project it became simply G:Standard.

This is a beta edition and even some KDE4 applications are still beta, please test and report any bugs, errors or missing applications here.

Download

g:Standard (ISO) (Simplynux) (473) -  g:Standard (ZIP) (Simplynux) (209)

g:Standard (ISO) (CVut) (224) -  g:Standard (ZIP) (CVut) (175)

ATTENTION: Because of the limited space of the cdrom and the new development process, the G:Standard will only offer KDE4 as desktop and the default english language for it. The applications with locales included to their packages have the option to be used with another language, only the KDE4 locales are not included.

In the past the GoblinX Standard included five windows managers and also support for five languages, but G:Standard is now the KDE distribution of our project, and because the limited space it includes only the default engligh language. In the future the distribution which will replace G:Standard when we finally start the new project will not anymore be a livecd, instead it will be a livedvd. If you need another language you need to download the respective package in our repository inside kdei folder.

The G:Standard 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.
