Point Linux 3.0 Beta 1 发布，GNU/Linux发行

Point Linux是一份GNU/Linux发行，它旨在结合Debian GNU/Linux的力量和MATE所提供的效率，而后者是GNOME 2桌面环境的一个分支。Point Linux为需要快捷、稳定和可预知桌面的用户们提供易于安装和使用的发行。

Peter Ryzhenkov has announced that the first beta build of Point Linux 3.0, a Debian-based distribution featuring the MATE desktop, is ready for testing: " I announce the availability of the first beta release of Point Linux 3.0. The new version uses the latest Debian 'Jessie' packages along with the MATE 1.6 desktop environment. Just like the 2.x branch, Point Linux 3.0 aims to give users the classic GNOME 2 like look and feel combining it with the new Debian code base. Point Linux Installer 1.7 skips the 'en_US' layout installation for latin-based keyboards (e.g. French). Point Linux 3.0 Beta 1 comes in 'core' and 'full' editions supporting i386 (PAE) and amd64 architectures. Other changes: Firefox 26.0, Thunderbird 24.1.0, LibreOffice 4.1.3."
