Since the release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS the update manager, allows for upgrading to 10.04.

Be aware ZevenOS 2.0 is not compatible with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and shouldn’t be upgraded to this version!

ZevenOS 2.0 is based on Xubuntu 9.10 and the next version 3.0 will be shipped November 2010.

You can disable the upgrade notice in Synaptic packagemanager > Settings > Repositories > Updates.

We are happy to announce the release of ZevenOS-Neptune 1.8 .

Main features are complete new user interface with zeebar and xfce4-panel. Core components like MAGI , MAGI 2, Encode and others were updated. We added the fabulous video editor OpenShot and added a ZevenOS-Hardwaredriversmanager. All in all this release is by far the best release we ever put out and therefor deserves the codename “Next Gen”.

Since ZevenOS 2.0 the Deskbar has a static menu. This has some advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is a clear structured menu that does not become confusing if installing many applications. The disadvantage is that normally you need to go to the appfinder to find newly installed applications. We now implemented a new static menu that lets you manually create a dynamic menu based on freedesktop.org .desktop files.
