Snowlinux 2 "Cream" is based upon the LTS edition Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" and is supported for 5 years until April 2017. Because of the fact of LTS this edition is extremly stable and fast. This is one of the reason why plymouth was removed. Due drastic changes with Gnome 3 and Unity, Snowlinux is getting as always a traditional desktop like Gnome 2, the Gnome 2 fork MATE. Plymouth was removed because a nice-looking plymouth theme has problems with the screen resolution and a black splash (as we had in the Snowlinux 1 "Winter" edition) confuses people).
