elementary OS Luna Beta 1 Available For Download

After more than a year and a half since ‘Jupiter’, elementary OS Luna beta 1 has been released today.

Build on top of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and using its own shell called “Pantheon”, elementary OS Luna introduces a huge number of changes, including new default applications created especially for eOS or a new window manager called “Gala”.

elementary OS Luna beta 1 is not only beautiful, but it’s also fast, lightweight and uses a consistent look throughout most of its default applications. And this is just the first beta, so Luna should improve further until the final release, for which, by the way, the date is not yet known.
