Arne Exton has released a new version of his Ubuntu/Debian-based RaspEX GNU/Linux distribution for the Raspberry Pi 4.

Based on the upcoming Ubuntu 19.10 “Eoan Ermine” operating system, due for release on October 17th, the new RaspEX release  includes packages from the GNU/Linux 10 “Buster” operating system series and the open-source Linaro software for ARM SoCs, and it’s powered by the Linux 4.19.63 kernel.

“I have upgraded the whole system and replaced the old kernel 4.19.50-exton-v7+ with kernel 4.19.63-raspex-v7l+. RaspEX Build 190807 is a Linux ARM system for Raspberry Pi 4, 3 Model B, 3 Model B+ and Raspberry Pi 2. It is based on Debian 10 Buster, Ubuntu 19.10 and Linaro (Open Source software for ARM SoCs),” says  Exton.

RaspEX Build 190807 comes with several apps pre-installed, including the Wicd network manager to more easily configure your Internet connection on the Raspberry Pi, the Mozilla Firefox and Midori web browsers, as well as Samba and RealVNC to allow you to control your Raspberry Pi from a Windows or Linux computer on your home network via Putty or VNC Viewer.

Also installed is the lightweight LXDE desktop environment, some additional network tools, the SMTube YouTube browser, PulseAudio sound server, and the Raspotify Spotify client.
