“The Redmond Linux Organization announces the release of Beta 3
of Redmond Linux, Personal Edition. Beta 3 is the latest release of
Redmond Linux Personal, a Linux distribution with the simplicity
and ease of use necessary for new and casual computer users.”
“Linux is for everyone,” says founder Joseph Cheek. “Redmond
Linux has improved upon the user interface found in standard Linux
distributions to the point that it is easy enough for real people
to use.” Redmond Linux includes simplified versions of Caldera’s
Lizard installer and the KDE 2.1.1 desktop, as well as cutting-edge
software – Linux kernel 2.4.3, Mozilla 0.8.1, RealPlayer 8,
Macromedia Flash 5, Adobe Acrobat 4, and a demo of theKompany.com’s
Kapital financial management program.”
“This Beta 3 release brings Redmond Linux to the level of
stability and number of features needed for home use,” he
continues. “We’ve got everything a home user needs – full Internet
access, word processing, spreadsheet, and financial management
software, multimedia, and entertainment – without the excess
software that’s commonly attached to an operating system. Extra
software is available for those who need it, and our management
tools allow easy remote diagnosis and repair of damaged
systems.”
