I spent just about the entire day yesterday working on this, so I am extremely happy to let you know that the latest version of Bauer-Puntu Linux is finally ready for download! Even more happy than me is my wife because now I can start spending some time with her and stop spending so much time working on this.

Before I get to the nitty gritty though, you might find it interesting to know that this entire version was made using Oracle’s VirtualBox. I would have built it on my trusty Dell D620 like I did the last few versions, but Ubuntu 11.04 ran like crap on it. I decided to buy a new laptop because the D620 was getting old, and while I am waiting for the new one to show up, I figured I could do this using virtualization.

Since I built it using VirtualBox, it already has the VirtualBox guest additions installed. I also install open-vm-tools in case you want to run it in VMware like I did in previous versions.

I decided not to stray too far from the last version since it was such a big hit, but you should know that by default Bauer-Puntu 11.04 DOES NOT use Unity by default!
