Today PC /
Opensystem LLC is pleased to announce its latest release : Black Lab
Linux 8 Alpha 1 “Onyx” - our latest FOSS offering. Since this is
a consumer-focused release we focused on issues that end-users bring
to our attention.
First and most
important : migration tools, built into the installer, for the
growing crowd moving from Windows and Mac OS X, and even other Linux
distributions (Ubuntu, Mint) to the unparalleled stability of Black
Lab. For that type of migration we now have the Aptik application
bundled in;it can help move the most critical system settings from
another distribution over to your new BL installation. Next :
improved device driver management and a new built-in device driver
manager to assist in loading third party binary drivers for
proprietary hardware. We didn't neglect
eye-candy : new themes and window-borders with bold colors figure
prominently;PC / OS is making a statement with its latest release.
So what's new with
Black Lab Linux 8 “Onyx” Alpha 1?
Kernel 3.19.43 –
for the RC and the final release, we'll be upgrading to the 4.x /
Ubuntu 15.10 “Wily” equivalent kernel. Black Lab Linux 9, the
LAST Ubuntu based arm of our distro, will feature the 16.04 LTS
