Tuquito 5 available

The new version of Tuquito, GNU / Linux distribution based on Ubuntu and of origin Argentine, oriented to average user, taking care of the simplicity and the inclusion of office tools, multimedia, internet, images, etc. 

New control center

This edition is a CD that contains most of the commonly used applications, office suite, audio and video players, messaging clients, and printing tools.

What is going to be missed in this edition are the proprietary audio and video codecs and applications such as Gimp, VLC, complementary sources or extra browsers. But do not be alarmed that a single click is enough to install them.

Installing codecs easily

You can install the codecs both from the welcome screen and from Menu> Sound and video, by clicking where it says Add multimedia codecs.

On the other hand, additional programs can also be installed with a single click, both from the welcome screen and from the Menu> Administration, by clicking where it says Update to DVD edition.

The main characteristics of the system are:

  • Linux 2.6.38-10-generic

CompizFusion

If Tuquito has problems with the compiz animations, you can start the "Compiz Fusion Icon" application in the Tools menu of the system, and change the window manager to Metacity from there.

As you know, this is a version based on Ubuntu 11.04, so it adopts many of its characteristics. We recommend that you read the known issues with that distribution.

    I've been using Tuquito for six years. What I know about Linux I learned from that community; and every day he gains in mysticism and enthusiasm. You just have to try it. It came to me as a gift CDlive when I bought four Mandriva CDs. Since then I never left him.

    Luck.
