Default Re: Time to liberate our computers in a massive way

Hi all
I couldnt post last night because i am working hardly on Vega. So this is an update of the upcoming. i supposed that the system will be ready for Monday if not on Sunday.

Some issues about Vega 1.0 beta

Codename: Alex
As u know on geek jargons, theres "codenames" to give a "secret name" to each project.*I.e the codename of last Ubuntu is "Karmic Koala". So the codename for
this first version of Vega will be "Alex" in recognition of the work of Alex Collier.

The software included
Internet

Mozilla Firefox ( web browser )
Emesene ( Msn chat client )
Pidgin ( multiprotocol IM ( including facebook chat )
Miro ( for download movies, and tv shows, with rss suscription)
Vuze ( a powerful bit torrent client for download stuff of any kind )
Video downloader ( a tool to download directly to you machine any kind of video from famouse video sites like yutube, vimeo, blip.tv ,etc)
Skype

Office
OpenOffice ( alternative to Ms Offic with support of Office 2007 formats )
Pdf reader
Thunderbird mail client ( like outlook )

Multimedia
Mp3 and cd player
last.fm and other online player service
shoutcast ripper
video converters
DVD creator
DVD CD writer
Multimedia center ( as the *dows feature )


Look & Feel
Elementary tools ( simple, different but very easy to use...)

So this is the news...
keep on working...
regards
P.
