A week ago the new version of this well-known is available distribution GNU / Linux, powered by the government and the free software community of Venezuela, and aimed at its use in the public administration as well as in the educational field of that country. |
In this new version, in addition to solving the typical bugs, some changes have been included:
- LibreOffice 3.4
- The Cunaguaro 8.0 web browser (derived from firefox) now has full HTML5 support
- Guacharo 8.0 (email client based on thunderbird)
- Turpial 1.6.6. Twitter client
- Friend 0.7.2. It is an assistant for user migration from proprietary technologies to Free Information Technologies (IT)
Additionally, the following enhancements were made:
- Rewriting canaima-welcome-gnome in python-webkit to implement animations in javascript.
- New wallpapers.
- Reorganization of the panels to adjust the space according to Netbooks and tablets.
- New visual style for the Plymouth Starter Loader.
- Restructuring the dependency tree to remove unnecessary packages: gnome-core, dmz-cursor-theme, gnome-themes, gnome-icon-theme, evolution, evolution-common, epiphany-browser, epiphany-browser-data.
- Implementation of the agreements of the MiniCayapa de Sabores de Mérida:
- Creation of the canaima-desktop-gnome metapackage.
- Publication of the clean sources of the packages in the repository.
- Implement quilt patches for all modified packages from the Debian project in Canaima.
- Creation of visual, motor and cognitive accessibility meta-packages.
Criticizing is always easy, this distribution despite the fact that it is made in Venezuela, has been developed "with the nails." On the other hand, you have to give it a vote of confidence, little by little it will gain ground and improve. Obviously, like all software, it has "bugs" and architectural concept errors, but if even Ubuntu and any proprietary software have them, why can't this distro have it?
Excellent distribution, easy to install, recognizes all drivers and runs very smoothly.
They need to put the tag "the Bolivarian distribution".
What difference does it have between the other versions?
I doubt a lot ... if it comes from Venezuela especially. I hope to be wrong.
Canaima, Canaima ... I don't know, I don't like it, it doesn't convince me, I still don't see real progress.
It's because it doesn't have them ...
Excellent, many Latin American countries should take advantage of this initiative by using and contributing to this distribution (translations into various dialects or indigenous languages, to reduce the digital divide), and make the community bigger.
No, it is very simple. It is also in Spanish ... 🙂
Cheers! Paul.
is it difficult to use?
Very good for Canaima, the assistant for user migration from proprietary technologies to Free Information Technologies (IT) is excellent. I have tested the canaima-desktop-gnome package on Debian wheezy and it works very smoothly.
