so when you get a revamp, you know you need not to download wine1.3 to
play ms .exe, or you can edit movie using pre installed openshot. or use
chromium browser, readily installed with antivirus and WOT. of course,
this is only tweakings, even normal user can do this, but what if a new
user approaches linux,they may not even know how to use basic settings.
we meant to cater for this group of people.<br> beyond that, Revamp is
meant to look beautiful. so we choose nice wallpaper from CC license, we
put in into desktop, login and lock screen. we set compiz and we change
unity or gnome-panel with a nicer AWN panel.<br> <br> Basically Revamp
11.2 is not much more than a better mint. seriously, if one feels he
wanted to download mint, it would be better to download revamp then
because revamp is actually mint with better tweak. <br> <br> But Revamp
12 is more radical because we are now building directly atop of ubuntu.
this is mainly distro political, but beyond that, i realise there are
some conflicts between mint repos and ubuntu. by using ubuntu directly,
this problem will be eliminated instaallah.<br> why revamp 12 is
radical? because we completely stripped of unity. we use Duece-visage
innovation, a linux with two DE, that is user can choos to run the
all-new gnome-shell, or our own version of modified unity,
Revamp-compiz. we fix basic bugs like xslx do not open with libre
office, strip update-manager and install mintupdate, remove firefox and
install chromium, open .deb with the much faster gdebi, install
essential but rare dependencies like bzr , git, put in caja File browser
as an addition to nautilus.we change the plymouth, tweak the lightdm
and basically revamp 12 will be our experimental release<br><br>Regards,<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>Ahmed Toulan.<br></font></span></span></div>
