“Absolute Linux 13.0 RC1 released. Pre-release that includes
fixes for slapt-get and wicd, addition of a control panel,
centralizing control and eliminating the sometimes confusing
utilities menus. Big updates to Midori and Inkscape on repositories
(under /CD2). New theme, new log on, Qt 4 up and running, several
new applications along with Qt 4-based K3b. Overall a more cohesive
look and simpler navigation. Wanted a release candidate so that
13.0 will not necessitate updates — also wanted to have feedback
on whether Midori is functional enough to become the default
browser.”
