GNOME, an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that ships with GNOME Shell by
default along with other GNOME applications that aren't available by default in
Ubuntu, is now an official Ubuntu flavour.
The news comes from the Ubuntu GNOME mailing
list, where it is specified that there won't be a beta 1 release this
week, but there should be a beta release at the end of the month and daily
images should be available within a few weeks. This should make it easier to
install and test because right now, there's no way of getting Ubuntu GNOME
except for installing another Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail flavour and then install
the Ubuntu GNOME meta packages.
Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 will be released with GNOME
3.6 because Ubuntu 13.04 won't
ship with GNOME 3.8 for the most part and since this is now an official
flavour, it can't ship with a PPA, but you can use the GNOME
3 PPA which should get the stable GNOME 3.8 once it's released.
Also, the official name is now "Ubuntu
GNOME', without "Remix" which has been used in the previous (unofficial)
release:
The official name is now "Ubuntu GNOME"; no "Remix", no "Edition". I like the simplicity of this name and the GNOME Foundation Board has made it clear that we are not welcome to use derivative names like GNOMEbuntu as our official name.Source: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/03/ubuntu-gnome-becomes-official-ubuntu.html |
