Linux Liquid Lemur Linux 2.0 Alpha 1 is release

Liquid Lemur Linux is a desktop Linux distribution based on Ubuntu and Linux Mint. It delivers a “hybrid” desktop experience, combining the Window Maker window manager with elements of the Xfce desktop environments. Its other features include a utility for install various desktop enhancements and add-ons, a Conky system monitoring tool to select predefined Conky scripts, and a custom live system installer.

This is the first alpha release of Liquid Lemur Linux 2.0. Please keep that in mind when testing it. This release is based on Linux Mint 17 Xfce, 64-bit variant. Linux Mint was used to reduce development time and because it worked out of the box with my hybrid desktop. My goal is to build it up from scratch (like I did with the original Liquid Lemur) at some point. Liquid Lemur uses bits and pieces from Xfce and Window Maker to create a hybrid desktop of sorts. Tools are included to Morph it into a standard (Legacy) Window Maker look. There is also enough of Xfce installed that one could actually run Xfce instead. Going forward, all Lemur releases will be based on the hybrid desktop model.” Interested alpha testers can download the release from SourceForge: liquidlemur-1.70.0-a1.iso (1,668MB, pkglist).
