Installing Netrunner Rolling 2016.01 and Review on VMware



What is Netrunner Linux?

Netrunner is a free operating system for Intel and AMD based desktop computers, laptops and netbooks. It comes in two versions: Maui, The Standard release is based on KDE Neon and therefore on the Ubuntu LTS release—previous releases were Kubuntu-based Linux, while Rolling is Manjaro-based and therefore an Arch Linux derivate and released as so called rolling release snapshots. Both versions feature a highly customised KDE desktop with extra applications, multimedia codecs, Flash and Java plugins, and the same look and feel. The modifications are designed to enhance the user-friendliness of the desktop environment while still preserving the freedom to tweak.

Netrunner 2016.01 Rolling New Features and Improvements

Despite the version number, Netrunner Rolling 2016.01 comes with the latest KDE, including Plasma 5.5.4 and KDE Applications 15.12.2. This release marks one change from previously released pre-packaged ISO image - we've decided not to ship Akonadi and the KDE PIM suite with this release, favouring more lightweight alternatives instead. Due to the power and flexibility of Arch's package management it is easy for people who enjoy using KDE PIM to install it via one single package called 'kde-meta-kdepim'; this will pull in all previously shipped packages again. Everything else is shipped as usual in their latest versions and should run as expected. The Calamares installer has been updated to the latest 2.0 release, bringing enhanced partition detection in BIOS and UEFI environments.

What is VMware Workstation?
