Revision as of 14:18, 13 November 2015

Introduction

The Trinity Desktop Environment is a complete software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model, and is free/libre software.

R14.0.2 is the second maintenance release of the R14.0 series, and it is built on and improve the previous R14.0.1 version.
Maintenance releases are intended to promptly bring bug fixes to users, while preserving overall stability through the avoidance of both new features and major codebase re-factoring.

You can read the release notes of the R14.0.1 release here.

FreeBSD Support

Support for FreeBSD is improving - the port of a first group of applications is now completed! However, there are still some issues that need to be addressed before full FreeBSD support can be achieved. Additional developers or contributors willing to help porting the remaining features and applications are always welcome :-)

Getting TDE

Installation instructions and binary packages are immediately available for Debian and Ubuntu. Packages for RedHat/CentOs, Fedora, Mageia, OpenSUSE, and PCLinuxOS are being built by their respective maintainers and will be made available at a later date.

Live CDs with TDE R14.0.2 preinstalled are available on the LiveCDs page.
