NimbleX 2008 RC |

NimbleX 2008 RC, just escaped to be enjoyed by the world!
I am very pleased to announce the Release Candidate of NimbleX 2008!
Since Beta there are major differences and it's the closest thing I can imagine to final version. Actually the main reason for calling it RC is the eventuality some important bug sneaked in.
The important highlights since beta are:
- lost 16MB to be back to 200MB
- Addition of the NimbleX USB Installer
- Improvements to the Safe Installer
- NimbleX is now split in 9 for greater flexibility
- Added important software like: LinuxDC++, Avidemux and the GSlapt Package Manager
- Polished many things so that it pleases the eye :)
- Compiz was added and configured in NimbleX. For starters, everyone that has a 3D card supported out of the box by X can enjoy the 3D effects. Hopefuly, in the future, people will contribute to package drivers for this feature.
- many more other changes

NimbleX 2008 Beta |
|
|
NimbleX 2008 Beta has finally been released!
After many months of using it, I finally decided is good enough to be released as a Beta version of NimbleX 2008. Several things still need to be polished but overall it's an important step towards what's going to be NimbleX 2008.
The most significant changes are from the technology point of view, that in the future should provide a significant increase in usability and stability.
The major highlights since NimbleX 2007 are:
- the Experimental Safe Installer
- the better LZM compression
- 2008 Beta is split in 5 pices
- 9 Desktop environments
- and many other things.

NimbleX logo contest |
|
|
I finally decided to start a logo contest because I believe that NimbleX needs a new (fresh) logo.
Everyone who has talent and ideas and think can design a better logo for NimbleX is invited to join the contest.
There are some small requirements:
- The logo must be identifiable with NimbleX
- The logo must be original work of the submitter
- Should be some sort of scalable format
- It would be a good idea to be usable with 2 or 3 colors
It is also important that you understand that if you enter the contest you acknowledge that the logo does not violate any copyright and that the design will not be returned to the designer.
The deadline is the first day of spring (1 March 2008) but may be extended until summer.
I would like to think the biggest prize will be the actual satisfaction that the winning logo will represent NimbleX but I would also offer some symbolic monetary reward of 50$. Unfortunately I can't offer more at this time but maybe in the future I will.
People who wish to participate should contact me from here so I can upload and publish the submissions. There is also a topic open on the forum where you can exchange ideas.
I wish you all inspiration and an open mind!
