Manjaro .0.8.5 is released.
Posted: 13 Apr 2013, 20:59
The Arch based Manjaro is released in version 0.8.5 and since it is a rolling release it is only a matter of enjoying the new features for those who have installed it.
For those who have not; Manjaro now comes with a graphical installer (forked from Linux Mint) that should make the installation even easier:
- Graphical installer introduced
Manjaro Settings Manager introduced
LXDM/Slim as display manager
Linux 3.8.5 as our kernel
SystemD 198
Xorg 1.14.0
Proprietary driver support for AMD and Nvidia graphic cards
Additional multimedia support, applications, and access to the AUR have been pre-installed
The settings manager is nothing like Mandrivas MCC but it is possible to set up Manjaro without fiddling
in the CLI to much. I do not think it comes pre-installed so you may have to install it via the package manager - just search for "settings manager".This is an interesting project that keeps getting better....
