[Trisquel-announce] Trisquel 4.0 LTS "Taranis" strikes!

[Rubén Rodríguez]

As our special way to celebrate Software Freedom Day, we are pleased to
announce that Trisquel 4.0 LTS, codename "Taranis" -the Celtic god of
thunder- is ready for download. It is our second Long Term Support
release, and it is a sweet one! It comes in the usual GNOME flavor and
with a light LXDE based environment in the shape of the new "Mini"
edition. Netisntall images are also available for servers and custom
installations. Soon we will also add an international DVD with a big
translation set -the standard images contain complete support for
English and Spanish- and educational and professional oriented
environments as well.

This release is based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and as always it contains
just free software, including:

    * Common
          o Linux-libre 2.6.32
          o Xorg 7.5
          o Gnash 0.8.8
    * Standard edition
          o GNOME 2.28
          o OpenOffice.org 3.2
          o Gimp 2.6
          o Mozilla-based web browser 3.6.9
    * Mini edition
          o LXDE 0.5
          o Midori 0.2

As always, this version comes with both 32 and 64 bit support, and
since it is an LTS release it will have 3 year support. Current 2.2 LTS
and 3.5 users can upgrade to 4.0 using the graphical update-manager
tool or by running "sudo do-release-upgrade".

You can donwload the iso images and help us distribute them using
bittorrent. You can also help the Trisquel Project with donations or by
buying something from our gift store. We are opening a new one at
Zazzle.com today, with new gorgeous products and worldwide shipping!
