Emmabuntüs DE4-1.01
Patrick d'Emmabuntüs has announced the release of an updated build of Emmabuntüs, a Debian-based
desktop Linux distribution designed primarily for old older and reconditioned computers
donated to humanitarian organisations.
Besides shipping with an updated base system, the new version also adds the Ventoy utility,
an open-source tool for creating bootable USB drives from ISO image files: "The Emmabuntüs
Collective is happy to announce the release of the Emmabuntüs 'Debian' Edition 4 1.01
update (32-bit and 64-bit), based on the Debian 11.2 'Bullseye' distribution and supporting
both Xfce and LXQt desktop environments.
This new update of our distribution brings the addition of the Ventoy utility as part
of our re-use campaign launched in early September 2020 in collaboration with our friends from
Debian-Facile and Tugaleres.com in France, as well as Blabla Linux in Belgium, as we
have just put online a second version of our refurbishing USB flash drive now based on
Ventoy.
The advantage of using Ventoy instead of MultiSystem is that it allows the creation of this key
on GNU/Linux and Windows.
Emmabuntus DE4 1.01 announced
The new version of Emmabuntüs, a user-friendly distribution targeting low-end computers,
which comes with Xfce and LXQt desktop environments, and is configured based on Debian 11.2 Bullseye,
has been announced by Patrick d'Emmabuntus.
While it is stated that the Emmabuntus community is happy to announce the release of 32 and
64 bit versions of Emmabuntus DE4 1.01, the new version ships with an updated base system,
as well as the system being bootable from ISO images.
The new Debian' Edition 4 1.01 update, which comes with both the Xfce and LXQt desktop
environments, also adds the Ventoy utility, an open-source tool for creating USB drives
to the system.
On January 11th 2022, EmmaDE4 1.01 focused on reuse for all with Ventoy !
On January 11th 2022, the Emmabuntüs Collective is happy to announce the release of the Emmabuntüs
Debian Edition 4 1.01 update (32 and 64 bits), based on the Debian 11.2 Bullseye distribution
and supporting both Xfce and LXQt desktop environments.
This distribution was originally designed to facilitate the reconditioning of computers
donated to humanitarian organizations, starting with the Emmaüs communities (which is where
the distribution’s name obviously comes from), to promote the discovery of GNU/Linux
by beginners, as well as to extend the lifespan of computer hardware, in order to reduce the
waste induced by the over-consumption of raw materials.
This new update of our distribution brings the addition of the Ventoy utility as part
of our reuse campaign launched in early September 2020 in collaboration with our friends from
Debian-Facile and Tugaleres.com in France, as well as Blabla Linux in Belgium, as we
have just put online a second version of our refurbishing USB flash drive now based on
Ventoy.
The advantage of using Ventoy instead of MultiSystem is that it allows the creation of this key
on GNU/Linux and Windows, which was not the case before.
Moreover the creation of the key is easier with Ventoy, as explained in this tutorial.
The interest of such a key is to allow mass reconditioning of computers very easily and
quickly – in the order of 2 to 10 minutes – by cloning in a semi-automatic or now
fully automatic way either a pre-configured GNU/Linux system that we provide via this
page, or your own system that you can create by following this tutorial for the realization
of a clone compatible with our key.
This new version will be the basis for our future Debian 12-based Emmabuntüs DE5, for
which we will start testing in the coming weeks.
We are currently looking for testers for this future version, as well as ideas for improvements.
If you are interested please contact us via this page.
Thanks in advance.
For this version 1.01, the following fixes and improvements have been implemented :
Distribution based on Debian 11.2 Bullseye Addition of the Ventoy utility
