The Latest Toorox version comes with Gentoo-based live DVD with a graphical system installer: Now Toorox 09.2010 is available as a 'GNOME' edition, too. Most users are working either with KDE or with GNOME as the desktop. Toorox 09.2010 comes with GNOME 2.30.2. This was customized to resemble the 'KDE' edition (Systemconfig and Starter in the panel - hard disk overview and Process Manager on the desktop - Oxygen icons, colour theme). The system comes without any Qt dependency; all applications that depend on Qt were replaced by similar GTK+ programs: K3b - Brasero, KTorrent - Deluge, Kopete - Empathy and Pidgin, Amarok - Exaile, VLC - gxine, KMail and Kontact - Evolution, Kwin Effects - Compiz. It contains Linux kernel 2.6.34 and the X.Org Server was updated to version 1.8.2.

About Toorox
