This is the official OpenGEU 8.04 Luna Crescente Alpha release. It’s a Live CD, so you can burn it and run it Live on any machine without hurting your system at all! In this release there has been a big number of changes on the software side, a lot of new tools and E17 modules are included and many of these softwares have been directly developed by our team.

Since OpenGEU Luna Nuova, a lot has changed and now there’s no extra panel in OpenGEU, no fbpanel and no gnome panel anymore. The user will be able to find any gnome tool needed in the very convenient OpenGEU menu entry of the E17 menu. The system tray can be found on the lower right corner of the screen thanks to trayer and should you miss fbpanel for any reason, you’ll just have to download the OpenGEU customized version of the panel from Synaptic!

The alpha version is already fully working and if you wish you can install it and use it on your machine, the system works like a charm and in the future releases we’ll just focus on bug-hunting and in creating new wonderful themes. So, if you find any bug, please report it to our development ML or to our forums. Enjoy the new OpenGEU
