Qimo 2.0 Beta 1 now available (Updated)

We are please to announce that the first beta release of Qimo 2.0 is now available for download via bittorrent. This released includes all of our new Illa backgrounds, and packages pulled directly from the Ubuntu repositories.

As always, any bugs you encounter should be reported on Launchpad.

Update: The Big Reboot has created a direct download of the Beta 1 ISO, for those of you who can't get it through Bittorrent.

It would be nice to have a gender neutral theme with a gender neutral color theme (orange or green) and a gender neutral character (an animal or inanimated object). Just my two cents.

# Caroline

When is the release for Qimo expected? Will you have a 'child account only' live-cd aviliable for the new release?

# Michael Hall

Caroline,
We expect to have the final release available in the early part of May. The LiveCD will use a regular user account like the current Ubuntu LiveCDs have, but the install option will be removed from the desktop.

PayPal checkout does not work on your site. I have no problems elsewhere. I tried to purchase 2 CDs, but could not process the order.

PayPal problems persist.

# Michelle Hall

Don, are you trying to purchase CDs from On-Disk? If so, you'll need to contact them.

Please post an md5sum for the qimo 2 beta iso with the torrent link. This is good for verfying the torrented iso.

My install failed and a was wondering if my download is corrupted.

I have a 4 yr old girl. Was just wondering when the girl friendly Qimo was going to be offered for sale.

# Michael Hall

Chitchat,
The girl friendly theme, along with all the rest of Qimo, will be available completely free to download.

If you're interested in buying a printed CD, or a computer pre-loaded with Qimo, keep an eye on our "Shop Qimo" section once version 2.0 is officially released.
