SEJARAH SINGKAT LINUX MINT Linux Mint Adalah Salah Satu Dari Paket Kejutan Dari Tahun Lalu
SEJARAH SINGKAT LINUX MINT Linux Mint adalah salah satu dari paket kejutan dari tahun lalu. Awalnya diluncurkan sebagai varian dari Ubuntu dengan codec media terintegrasi, maka kini telah berkembang menjadi salah satu yang paling user-friendly distribusi di pasar - lengkap dengan desktop dan menu custom, beberapa peralatan konfigurasi unik, yang berbasis web antarmuka instalasi paket, dan sejumlah edisi yang berbeda. Mungkin yang paling penting, ini adalah salah satu proyek di mana para pengembang dan pengguna berada dalam interaksi yang konstan, sehingga dramatis, pengguna-didorong melakukan perbaikan dengan setiap rilis baru. DistroWatch telah berbicara kepada para pendiri dan pemimpin pengembang Linux Mint, Clement Lefebvre, tentang sejarah distribusi. Linux Mint adalah sebuah distro Linux Live CD yang diturunkan dari distro Ubuntu, dengan tujuan untuk memproduksi sebuah distro dengan desktop yang elegan, up to date, dan nyaman digunakan. Linux Mint didesain untuk berjalan out-of-the-box dengan semua fasilitas yang telah terinstall di dalamnya. Versi distro ini adalah versi 4.0 dengan kode Daryna. Mint 4.0 diturunkan dari Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, jadi semua paket aplikasi Ubuntu Feisty kompatibel dan bisa diinstall di Linux Mint 4.0 ini. Kesan pertama pada booting awal, logo Linux Mint sudah berganti berbeda dari rilis sebelumnya. Masuk ke desktop, Mint masih memiliki pola dan corak warna yang sama yaitu paduan warna hijau dan biru. Distro ini telah dilengkapi dengan berbagai aplikasi yang siap pakai diantaranya: OpenOffice 2.2 (Write, Calc, Presentation, Database) GIMP Image Editor Mozilla Firefox dan Thunderbird Pidgin 2.0.0 dan XChat Java Runtime Environment 6.0 Amarok, Totem Media Player, dan MPlayer Mint Daryna ini ternyata juga telah dilengkapi dengan Beryl dan Compiz, ditambah dengan aplikasi Envy untuk memudahkan instalasi driver ATI dan NVIDIA walaupun aplikasi ini bukanlah aplikasi resmi dari vendor tersebut.
