I loaded up SimplyMEPIS 6.5 beta 6 cd with lots of expectation. It was just released on 20 of february 2007. It can also be called SimplyMEPIS 32 beta 6. The version has turned into 6.5 since beta 5.
According to Warren, the jump from 6.0-4 to 6.5 was necessary to reflect the amount of significant changes made to beta 4. The number 6.5 may not sound interesting but i am sure that its strength has changed significantly.
Xorg 7.0 has been upgraded to 7.1 since beta 5 to enable 3D acceleration. The NVidia driver 1.0.9746 , fglrx driver 8.31.5 and madwifi-ng 0.92 had also been added since beta 5 by Warren. Beryl compositing window manager version 0.2.0rc1 has also been put into the repository together with the emerald and the aquamarine decorators.
Networkmanager has also been polished to give better wifi connection. Sun java 6 has been integrated into beta 6. Ntfs-3g program has also been integrated into beta 6.
Other than these changes/availability, i didn't notice any special changes to the menu system, applets, icons, or applications. Interestingly , the login screen has clearly printed the password for demo user and root user. At least, a newbie wouldn't have to guess the passwords. The last thing you want to do is to frustrate a newbie's experience from the start.
I almost got a dysarrthymic heart-beat the moment i saw the new mepis boot screen. It has more options. With the option to explicitly setting the vertical frequency, i could finally boot my new pentium D celeron desktop with better resolution.
Prior to this , the beta 4 version of SimplMEPIS 32 could only manage a 800x600 resolution on my new pentium D celeron desktop with a 17 inch crt. There graphic chipset was VIA P4M800. There was no vertical setting boot option then. So, I was at the mercy of the " BOOT SMALL (for very old system) " option.
When thinking about creating a profession web site to generate revenue, one should consider taking up courses like 70-554 and 220-601 as they are very benefical through the development phase.
