To stay inline with the new shipping rates in affect today, we now offer $1.99 USPS First Class Mail shipping for orders less than $20, and free USPS Priority Mail shipping for orders $20 or more.
We have also added Ubuntu Studio to the store. Based on Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio focuses on media production and has a sleek dark theme. If you just want the theme and are already running Ubuntu, you can add it using the instructions here.
Dreamlinux
We are now an official distributor of Dreamlinux. Dreamlinux uses the lightweight and fast XFCE for the desktop manager and has many multimedia oriented packages, such as GimpShop, Kino DV, Inkscape, Blender, and Avidemux. Dreamlinux comes on a LiveCD and is installable from inside the live session. We are proud to have $0.30 of each sale going directly to Dreamlinux.
Shipping
Due to a large number of broken discs in the last month, we are now shipping small orders of CDs in cardboard boxes. To cover the costs, we have to raise our shipping price from $0.49 to $0.99 for orders less than $10. Orders of $10 or higher still have free shipping, and orders $20 or higher still get upgraded to priority mail shipping for free.
New Releases
January has been a busy month for new releases. Knoppix 5.1.0 and Sabayon 3.25 were both released and then quickly re-released as Knoppix 5.1.1 and Sabayon 3.26. Puppy Linux and Damn Small Linux, our two extremely lightweight distros, both came out with new versions. We also got new AMD64 builds of Debian 3.1, and updated both our Debian builds to r4.
We’ve made some changes to the Ultimate DVD Set, and posted a list of everything included. Rocks was dropped, while the Long Term Support version of Ubuntu replaced it. Gentoo was also added, replacing the DesktopBSD DVDs.
The official Gentoo LiveDVD is now part of our DVD collection, and we have added screenshots for it and the Xubuntu Desktop CD.
Looks like the release of Fedora Core 6 was pushed back once again, this time the date is October 24th. That’s just 2 days before the next major release of Ubuntu, version 6.10, Edgy Eft. As always, we will do our best to make the new releases available for sale the same day they come out.
blog.frozentech.com will have news on the latest Linux releases and changes to products on the FrozenTech store.
