Announcing BrDesktop for the Brazilian home desktop user
What is BrDesktop?
It is a selection of official Debian GNU/Linux packages. A Pure Blend, pre-configured and targeted for Brazilian Debian GNU/Linux home desktop users.
ALL of its packages are installable from the official Debian GNU/Linux repositories. The BrDesktop difference is in the selection, default language, programs and security preconfigurations for home desktop users, a streamlined installation aided by preconfigurations, a Live-CD option, a unique desktop theme, and the participation of the Brazilian Debian community.
The BrDesktop Lenny iso image uses the Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 Lenny packages up-to-date as of 11-April-2009.
Some of the default BrDesktop packages are:
- GNOME desktop environment
- Iceweasel web browser and Icedove email client
- Gimp, Inkscape and Gthumb for visualization and image editing
- BrOffice.org office suite
- Listen for playing and organizing music
- Totem for videos
- Amule and Deluge-torrent for peer-to-peer sharing
- Cheese for taking photos and videos with a web cam
- and more....
