Linux aficionados gained a new option Monday, thanks to the release of Peppermint OS.
Checking in at under 512 MB, Peppermint is a Linux-based operating system that’s designed to be cloud/Web-centric, ready to use and “insanely fast,” its makers said. As a fork of Lubuntu, the system is based on — and compatible with — Ubuntu 10.04 and its repositories. “I think that we have come to a crossroads in modern technology where consumers are becoming less and less afraid of trying new things in order to get exactly what they want,” Shane Remington, Web developer and project manager for Peppermint OS, told LinuxInsider.
