Press release (PDF)
The ZevenOS Team is pleased to announce ZevenOS-Neptune 2.0.
This is the first version we ship in two editions: Minimal Edition (with LXDE) and Full Edition (with KDE SC)
Both ship with an updated and optimized Kernel 3.0.4. Minimal Edition includes PCManFM 0.9.8, DeaDBeef 0.5.1, Gnome-Mplayer 1.0.4 (with Mplayer2), Abiword 2.8.6, Iceweasel 7 (alias Firefox w/o branding) & Iceweasel 5 (alias Thunderbird w/o branding).
Full Edition includes KDE Plasma Workspace 4.7.1, Chromium 14, Iceweasel 5, VLC 1.1.11, Amarok 2.4.3, LibreOffice 3.4.3 and many more.
Both Editions are suitable for media playback and ship with a full set of codecs aswell as the flashplayer (version 11).
In addition to the Full Edition includes also media creation and editing software like Audacity & KDEnlive. Furthermore we provide our own tools like the multimedia encoder Encode which allows converting of audio and video files in many known formats.
ZevenOS-Hardwaremanager is capable of installing proprietary graphicsdrivers like ATI and NVIDIA. It also is capable of installing special printer drivers.
For the use as live usb stick ZevenOS-Neptune 2.0 provides a persistent creator aswell as a snapshot-manager wich allows you to create configuration snapshots which can be shared among live usb stick users.
Some snapshots are already available which provide your live usb stick with an alternative desktop environment like XFCE 4.8 or Gnome 3. But also window managers like awesome and e17 are available for testing. If you want to build your own distribution on top of ZevenOS-Neptune we provide you remaster-kit which is a script that will help you creating
your own live system and modifying it. New is the option to merge existing snapshots in your remaster-kit working directory.

Known Issues: KDEinit4/KMix may crash on first sound output of KDE in Live session. Just ignore the error.
Please don’t force upgrade on holded packages (i.e. python, hplip & co)

It’s make me suck.
The default installation and system is not English.
How can i change system to English and then remove suck Deutsch?
Tuesday October 25th, 2011 at 10:37 AM
You need to boot the english version by choosing the Neptune Live (EN) Boot entry on the live system.

Neptune is great! Thank you for the excellent work you’ve done.
Wednesday October 26th, 2011 at 01:38 AM
Can i still install the excellent zevenos deskbar somehow? (debian instead of ubuntu as base i just lovely btw)
Wednesday October 26th, 2011 at 02:05 AM
no 64bit version? so why bother with this? i completely understand the desire to run this on older hardware but i’ve got an inteli3 processor with 8gig of ram! sorry but i’ll be giving this a miss…
Wednesday October 26th, 2011 at 09:14 AM
Perhaps there will be a 64Bit version in the future. Currently the Kernel supports PAE which should detect your RAM.
Wednesday October 26th, 2011 at 05:53 PM
We don’t have the deskbar currently in the repos.
But there is a ZevenOS Desktop Snapshot for your Live USB Stick: http://www.wuala.com/Neptune%20Share/Snapshots/new/zevenos.squashfs/

Cool stuff! Leszek; are you never online on irc anymore, or do i just have a different time schedule than you so that i miss you?
Friday October 28th, 2011 at 08:22 AM
I think we just have a different time schedule 😛
Saturday October 29th, 2011 at 11:27 AM

Hi, i am wandering since years, from Distro to Distro, and it made may live somewhat miserable. Since “all” Linux-Distribution end support for their Releases. I hope this misfortune is not going to happen to ZevenOS 2.0 Neptune.
I hope “Repositories” are not beeing removed.
Gimme a chance to get hold of IT.
Thank you very much .

Neptune 2.55 was the last release of the 2.x series and the repos for it are partly down already.
Please see our new website neptuneos.com for the newer releases that are 64bit only though
