Today we are pleased to announce the release of Black Lab Linux 6.0 SR1, which is Service Release 1. The purpose of our service releases is to focus on security and application updates rather than new features. Service Releases are provided every two to three months in between our 6 month release schedule. Black Lab Linux 6.0 is based on LTS technologies so users can be rest assured that you will receive feature and functionality updates until 2017 and security updates until 2020.With Service Release 1 we have tweaked the user experience per user and customer feedback to move from a Unity type look to a more traditional GNOME/Mate experience. You also have all security updates from October to December 14, 2014. These include.
Linux kernel 3.13.0-43.50
Linux kernel 3.17.6 for kernel 3.17 users
Firefox 34
Thunderbird 31.3
GNOME 3.10.4
GTK 3.10.8
All together there are about 200 updates to the system.
Users who dont need a new ISO can simply update their systems with the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Users and new users who would like to get a new ISO can download it from our Sourceforge page, 64 bit only.
