What's new in Snowlinux 4 "Glacier"
Linux 3.5
This is the Linux kernel we use for this release. It brings many features to the users, whose weren't available in prior Linux kernel releases. For example it brings support to the filesystem and for the new Nvidia kepler graphic cards.
MATE 1.4
While the Snowlinux "Debian" edition was still using Gnome 2 until now, we already introduced MATE 1.4 with Snowlinux 3 "White". Now we're using it also in the Snowlinux "Debian" edition. The latest Gnome 2 codebase was renamed and MATE 1.4 now provides the same desktop as Gnome 2 under a different name.
snowMenu
The snowMenu is a Snowlinux menu, which should make work with MATE 1.4 easier. It was designed as a new, modern-looking menu.
