Clement Lefebvre and the community behind the Linux Mint project announced last night on the official blog the immediate availability of the first release candidate of Linux Mint 6 (Felicia) Fluxbox Community Edition. This first RC is based on Xubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and it is powered by Linux kernel 2.6.27, X.Org 7.4 and Fluxbox 1.0.0. The good news for all Fluxbox fans is that this edition of Linux Mint 6 includes a brand new menu system called Mint-FM2, a new display manager called Slim (replacement for GDM), and many other nice tweaks.

You’ll have to open each site manually, then wait for the web page to load and finally hit the print screen key. Now imagine repeating this process for 10 different websites every morning. Impossible, right?

After seeing it in action I’m quite looking forward to taking it around the block. I never quite got into [Macromedia|Adobe]Flash, and am quietly hoping Silverlight can find a spot next to it in the web ecosystem.

The TV measures just 0.9mm and is based on a prototype 0.3mm screen that Sony first showed earlier this year. The prototype set was on show at the Ceatec 2008 electronics expo in Japan and attracted a steady stream of curious attendees, with many of them snapping pictures of it.
