Point Linux GNOME 3.0 beta 3 overview
This release is intended for testing purposes only. Please do not use it in production environments!
Point Linux team proudly announces the availability of the Point Linux 3.0 Beta 3. The key feature of this release is the new GNOME 3.14 edition that hopefully will make a perfect company to the exising MATE desktop. Just like in the previous MATE only releases, Point Linux GNOME edition comes in two suites, 'Full' for the fully functional out-of-the-box desktop, and 'Core', containing only the basic and free components leaving you ability to customize your Point Linux installation the way you like it. Based on the recently introduced GNOME 'Classic' mode Point Linux combines it with the custom tweaks and the brand new dark panel theme aiming to bring the best possible experience for the GNOME 2 fans.
Point Linux MATE 3.0 Beta 3 got many under-the-hood bug fixes and infrastructural changes. Both editions are based on the updated Debian packages including LibreOffice 4.3.3.2 office suite and the latest Mozilla Firefox 34.0.5 web browser that now comes with the Google Safe Browsing option disabled by default to ensure the maximum privacy.
