The first beta edition of what will become Elementary OS Luna has been released. Luna is a bold attempt to revamp and completely retool Jupiter, the distribution’s first edition.
Well, the Elementary devs are not going to release their own Luna in the foreseeable future--they are saying that their distro is not like any other and it must be without bugs to come out.
They even said, if I move Luna Beta 1 to Quantal and/or Raring, I would get updates etc.
So, I took the challenge and build "their" Luna with Quantal mini.iso and with their Quantal applications.
Finalmente dopo tantissimi mesi di attesa i fan del progetto Elementary OS ritrovano la propria distribuzione aggiornata.
Elementary OS is a fast and beautiful distro that focuses on simplicity and minimalism.
Why: Speed and ease of use. I have an old HP Pavilion DV600 computer, with 1GB RAM and 100 MB HD. It's not my primary computer, just something to mess around with. In the past I found Xubuntu to be a good compromise of speed, ease of use and availability of apps. When Elementary OS Luna Beta came out, I tried that and liked the look.
Official set of wallpapers for Elementary OS Luna has been chosen. The selection is pretty great and it features some really beautiful backgrounds for your desktop.

I installed Calibre, so I could read a book, while Apt did its work.

After years of hard work, Cassidy James proudly announced a few minutes ago that the first Beta release of the upcoming elementary OS 0.2 Linux distribution is now available for download and testing.
Personally, I'm so excited about this development release of the elementary OS 0.2 that I don't even know where to start.
