Peppermint OS Six Screencast:



Quote:
Peppermint is excited to announce the launch of our latest operating system Peppermint Six. Lightweight and designed for speed, Peppermint Six delivers on that promise whether using software on your desktop, online, or using cloud based apps.

Initially, Peppermint One was designed out of our desire for an operating system optimized for working online. Each year since then, we have improved on it, and we are very excited about new and improved features in Peppermint Six.
  • Peppermint 6 is still built on the 14.04 LTS (Long Term Support) base, but weve moved to the 14.04.2 point release which includes the 3.16 kernel and an updated graphics stack.
    (this is to sidestep the upstream 9 month support issue that comes with basing on the not LTS code bases).
  • Were now using the Nemo file manager, which gives some nice new features including the ability to handle custom nemo action scripts, better desktop management, easier mounting and management of remote network shares (including Windows SMB shares, WebDAV, FTP, SFTP over SSH, etc.), and a smoother overall experience.
  • Along with our policy of not sticking with standard LXDE components where better choices are available, weve dropped the LXTerminal in favour of Sakura which allows tabbed terminals, scrolling, and Gtk+3 color handling including background images.
  • The Update Manager has been replaced with MintUpdate, but with the same settings as update-manager, so the bottom panel update shield makes a comeback.
  • In line with user feedback and proven format handling Guayadeque and Gnome MPlayer have been replace with VLC as a one app to play them all replacement.
  • The default image viewer has been changed from Mirage to the eog (Eye of Gnome) image viewer.
  • The xfce4-power-manager has been replaced by mate-power-manager and i3lock replaces light-locker as the default ScreenLock which was causing problems for some users.
  • Weve moved to the Gnome Search Tool which has a more intuitive user interface, and finer grained control of search criteria.

Hello:

You can't tell from the screencast but Peppermint is really, really, really fast when installed.
