Linpus has informed us via email that the second maintenance release of the Linpus Lite 1.9 Linux Live operating system is now available for download and upgrade (for existing users only).

Being powered by Linux kernel 3.7.10, for better hardware support, Linpus Lite 1.9.2 is distributed as a full DVD ISO image, as well as a Live USB image.

Linpus Lite 1.9.2 includes support for Broadcom 43142 Wi-Fi, Realtek 5229 card reader, better support for Intel video cards via the Intel i915 graphic driver 3.8 RC2.

Moreover, more applications were added to the Linpus App Center, as well and a number enhancements were applied to the user interface and to some existing applications.

Last but not least, Linpus Lite 1.9.2 supports keyboard layouts of 37 languages, and some Chinese input issues with the GNOME desktop environment have been solved, including an issue when typing in the GNOME search menu.

As usual, all users of a previous version of Linpus, such as Linpus Lite 1.9.1, can get this upgrade just by updating their systems via the YUM command. Download Linpus Lite 1.9.2 right now from Softpedia.
