Peppermint 6 images released for VirtualBox and VMware

Peppermint team announced the latest version of their operating system `Peppermint 6` based on Ubuntu with kernel 3.16 and more: “Peppermint is excited to announce the launch of our latest operating system Peppermint Six in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. The downloads are live now via our standard download links and are also available for purchase on pre-installed LiveUSB sticks from our shop. Breaking from our usual strategy of annually basing on Ubuntu ‘.04′ releases, Peppermint Six stays with the 14.04 code base but moves to the 3.16 kernel and updated graphics stack via the LTS enablement stack. Other major changes include moving to the Nemo file manager with a new wallpaper manager, VLC as the new `one app to play them all’ media player, and changes to the terminal, power-manager, search tool, and screenlock. Amongst a plethora of other smaller changes and additions, you’ll find our new gtk/Xfwm4 theme ‘Peppermix’, and as requested by our users the addition of a brand new dark theme ‘Peppermix-Dark’. Peppermint 6 is still built on the 14.04 LTS (Long Term Support) base, but we’ve moved to the 14.04.2 ‘point release’ which includes the 3.16 kernel and an updated graphics stack. (this is to sidestep the upstream 9 month support issue that comes with basing on the not LTS code bases).” You can read complete release announcement on the official website.
