LFA now based on Ubuntu 15.10, Debian 8.1 and Fluxbox

-

The Linux For ALL (LFA) Build 151024 has been entirely restructur­ed and it is now based on the recently launched Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf OS and the Fluxbox window manager. However, it still includes various essentials from the Debian GNU/ Linux 8.1 (Jessie) distributi­on.

The LFA Build 151024 updates all the major installed components and applicatio­ns to their latest versions available as on October 24, 2015. It is powered by Arne Exton’s special 4.2.0-16-exton kernel, which is based on the upstream Linux kernel 4.2.3.

“The latest upgraded version of LFA is now available and all the installed packages have been restructur­ed to the latest edition,” Arne Exton said in an email to Softpedia.

The version consists of Google Chrome, SMPlayer and Synaptic Package Manager. The software collection of the Linux For ALL distributi­on has always been grand and the most recent version comes with the Google Chrome Web browser, which can be used to watch Netflix movies, apart from the Synaptic Package Manager for installing extra software, and the powerful, MPlayer-based SMPlayer video player.

The distributi­on also includes the Cairo-Dock dock-like applicatio­n launcher, the Dreamweave­r-like BlueGriffo­n HTML editor, a GParted partition editor, a PCManFM file manager, an Adobe Flash Player plugin and all the other tools required for assembling programs from sources.
