Neptune OS is a Linux distribution that aims to provide a stable and reliable operating system, applications, kernel, etc. up to date. The idea of the OS Neptune project is to combine the stability of Debian 7 Wheezy with KDE desktop and applications are constantly updated to the latest stable version available through dedicated repository. With the new version 4.2 of Neptune OS are by default the Linux kernel 3.16.3 (+ BFQ I / O scheduler) with Btrfs file system by default, there are also pre-installed Snapper, software that allows us to create incremental snapshots of the operating system.Neptune OS 4.2 also updates the KDE desktop to version 4.14.1 and includes improvements in the support for UEFI Secure Boot thereby allowing the installation of distribution in new PCs with Windows 8 / 8.1 pre-installed. Among the updates included in Neptune OS 4.2 we also find the office suite LibreOffice updated to version 4.3.2, the 37 Chromium browser, Kdenlive 0.9.10 and Wireshark to 1:12.
