| The Ripper Gang is pleased to announce the third public beta ISO release of what will ultimately become PCLinuxOS 2009. This beta features kernel 2.6.26.8, KDE 3.5.10, OpenOffice.org 3.0, Firefox 3.0.5, Thunderbird 2.0.0.14, KTorrent, Amarok, Flash, Java JRE, Compiz Fusion 3D and much more. We request that only our more experienced PCLinuxOS users test this beta release and report any issues with it in the forum provided specially for it. Testers are advised to install this beta into a separate partition for temporary use only. This and any subsequent betas are considered static installs and will not be upgradeable to the 2009 Final, so please don't install this with the idea of using it long-term as a work station. |
