Jean-Jacques Moulinier has announced the release of Toutou Linux 5.5, a major new version of the lightweight, Puppy-based distribution designed for older computers and optimised for French-speaking users. Code-named "Wolx", Toutou Linux 5.5 uses Openbox (rather than JWM in previous releases) as the preferred window manager, with the LXPanel taskbar and several customisation options. Also new in this release is OCI, a custom-built program that automates the installation of the distribution on systems dedicated entirely to Toutou Linux. A first-boot assistant is available for configuring various aspects of the desktop, such as keypad and keyboard options, menus, passwords and optional installation of printer and scanner drivers. The Flash browser plugin is not included, but a single-click install option is also provided in the first-boot assistant. Opera 12.16 is the default browser. Read the rest of the release announcement (in French) for further details. Download: Toutou-Wolx-5.5.iso (145MB, MD5). |

Distribution Release: Toutou Linux 2014 |
|
Jean-Jacques Moulinier has announced the release of Toutou Linux 2014, an updated release of new version of the project's Puppy-based distribution designed French-speaking users. This is an update to version 5.5 "Wolx" released in November 2013. It is primarily designed for those users who preferred the simplicity and familiarity of the 4.x series of Toutou Linux. Compared to the 4.x series, several applications have been replaced, notably the SeaMonkey 2.21 browser which has become too heavy for a lightweight distribution (30 MB compressed and 51 MB when decompressed). It has been replaced by Opera 12.16 (14 MB compressed and 26 MB once decompressed). Otherwise this latest version continues to use the Openbox window manager with LXPanel as the default taskbar. Upgrades from previous versions are not supported. Visit the distribution's home page (in French) for more information about the new release. Download the live CD image from SourceForge: Toutou-Wolx.2014.iso (146MB, MD5). |
