Another day, another Linux distro. Peppermint OS 1.0 uses Mozilla Labs' Prism technology to fully integrate with Cloud and web-based applications such as Hulu and Gmail. The OS is built on Linux Kernel 2.6.32, Xorg 7.5 GUI and Openbox 3.4.10 for window management.
Peppermint 1.0 uses Mozilla Labs' Prism to create Web apps that run as single site browser windows (SSBs).Custom front end code integrates the SSBs into the desktop environment.
In addition to on-board software, Peppermint includes default Cloud Applications Editor by Pixlr, Facebook, Last.FM, Hulu, Pandora, The Cloud Plyer, YouTube, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Reader and Gmail.
Peppermint contains a custom front end for Prism that makes these Web apps seamlessly integrate with the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. Like Canonical's recently announced Ubuntu Light, Peppermint is designed to boot fast and power down quickly, all while providing a familiar environment for Linux users.
