Descent|OS 4.0 發布

Descent|OS是基于Debian的桌面Linux發行，其特色在于一套傳統的桌面環境（2.x系列采用GNOME 2，之后的版本則是MATE）。該項目的宗旨是提供一份直觀且現代化的桌面環境以讓任何人都能使用。

Brian Manderville has announced the release of Descent|OS 4.0, a Debian-based desktop Linux distribution featuring a customised MATE (version 1.4.2) desktop environment: " Hello, everyone! I'm writing from my hotel room here in Bellingham, Washington where I've been attending the Linux Fest Northwest all day, and managed to get 4.0 released on schedule. It's only for 64-bit systems at the moment, mainly because that's the only ISO image I have here on this PC, but I'll be finishing up Descent|OS for 32-bit systems and for PowerPC and releasing them next week. Descent|OS is going through a new phase in development, where it will run under an 8-month release cycle, with one service release halfway through the cycle. This will allow for a more stable system, and bug fixes to be deployed quicker while development for Descent|OS 5 goes on. Thanks for testing, and for being loyal users. See you all tomorrow at the second leg of Linux Fest Northwest!" Here is the brief release announcement. Download: DescentOS-4.0-x86_64.iso (1,253MB).
