Shift Linux 0.5 RC-2 Released
Shift Linux is a project that was created by the Neowin community. Shift is Debian based, therefore it has access to all of the software and applications as other Debian distributions. Neowin's Shift Linux is designed to give the user an experience of being part of the Neowin community as well as having a simple, easy-to-use Live CD that can be installed to your hard drive, if you enjoy the way our distribution works. Shift is a free, GPL-based Linux distribution that can be freely distributed or modified. There are no restrictions with Shift.
Shift Linux 0.5 (RC-2) includes three fully branded versions: KDE, Gnome, and Flux, all Live CDs. Included in this version are most of the most popular packages to include wireless support and a desktop installer. In addition, we have newly created packages such as:
1. k3b (All versions)
2. Rhythmbox (All versions)
3. Bluetooth Support (All versions)
4. HP Printer Drivers (All versions)
5. Power management and laptop detection (All versions)
6. NTFS Read/Write support (All versions)
7. Envy (All versions)
8. New branding!
9. Extremely fast...You'll forget it's a CD in 5 minutes.
Feel free to download and try our newest release. It has been designed for increased loading speeds. Please post any bugs found in our Bug Tracker.

Hi everyone. I'm pretty much a total newb when it comes to Linux (yes, I'm used to Windows), but I like the looks of this version, and I have "messed around" with a few of the linux distributions in the past.
Which version of the three is the best for a newb like me? |

Which version of the three is the best for a newb like me? It depends on what Desktop Environment you prefer, I guess. I never found Gnome a good fit for me, and used to prefer KDE. The past few years, I have been 100% fluxbox, and would not want to go back to a KDE/Gnome environment. Is there a torrent being set up, so I can help seed? |

We plan on creating a 64-bit edition, but this CD ran fine on my 64-bit AMD2. Try it out.....  **And we need some Fluxbox edition screen shots if anyone is running that now......... |
