Para los que estamos esperando la nueva version de este gran sistema operativo con mucha elegancia y funcionalidad, les dejo un video que muestra como es este sistema operativo. Obviamente está en fase Beta 1 o sea que faltarán unos meses para que salga la versión final pero podemos descargar esta Beta.

Les dejo algunas de las funcionalidades que tiene este sistema (están en ingles pero se entienden, si tengo mas tiempo las traduzco):


<h2 style="background-color:white;font-family:TertreExtraBold, Ubuntu, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:22px;font-weight:normal;line-height:24px;margin:0 0 15px;padding:0;">Pantheon shell</h2>
<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">Pantheon, the “shell” used by default in elementary OS Luna beta 1 uses a brand newwindow manager called Gala, based on libmutter, which features smooth animations and very interesting workspace switcher and expose features which you’ve seen in video we’ve posted above.</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;margin-top:0;padding:4px;text-align:center;"><tbody style="margin:0;padding:0;"><tr style="margin:0;padding:0;"><td style="margin:0;padding:0;"></td></tr><tr style="margin:0;padding:0;"><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size:11px;margin:0;padding:0;">Workspace switcher
</td></tr></tbody></table>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;margin-top:0;padding:4px;text-align:center;"><tbody style="margin:0;padding:0;"><tr style="margin:0;padding:0;"><td style="margin:0;padding:0;"></td></tr><tr style="margin:0;padding:0;"><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size:11px;margin:0;padding:0;">Expose</td></tr></tbody></table>

<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">For system settings, elementary OS Luna uses Switchboard, which comes with its own “plugs” - below you can see the desktop settings Switchboard plug:</div>
<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:center;"></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;margin-top:0;padding:4px;text-align:center;"><tbody style="margin:0;padding:0;"><tr style="margin:0;padding:0;"><td style="margin:0;padding:0;"></td></tr><tr style="margin:0;padding:0;"><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size:11px;margin:0;padding:0;">Switchboard</td></tr></tbody></table>

<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">The top panel is called Wingpanel, and even though it doesn’t follow the same “wing” design like in the first versions, it’s nevertheless a nice addition to Luna, especially thanks to the beautiful design used by the indicators:</div>
<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:center;"></div>

<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">For the menu / application launcher, Pantheon uses Slingshot, which follows the same design as the indicators and comes with two modes: one that displays large, uncategorised icons which will remind you of Unity and another one which displays the applications in categories:</div>
<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:center;"></div>

<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">At the bottom of the screen you’ll notice a dock - it’s called Plank and follows the “stupidly simple” elementary OS philosophy so there just a few configuration options (available in Switchboard). Plank supports some of Unity’s features like badges, progress indicators or quicklists:</div>
<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:center;"></div>

<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">And finally, for the login screen, elementary OS Luna uses LightDM, with its own greeter (theme) and a really cool effect which again, you can see in our video above. Here’s the login screen:</div>
<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:center;"></div>


<h2 style="background-color:white;font-family:TertreExtraBold, Ubuntu, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:22px;font-weight:normal;line-height:24px;margin:0 0 15px;padding:0;">Default applications</h2><div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">
</div><div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">elementary OS Luna beta 1 continues to use Midori as the default web browser, Shotwell for managing photos, Empathy IM client, Totem for playing videos as well as Ubuntu Software Center.</div><div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">
</div><div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">For the default file manager, elementary OS Luna beta 1 uses Pantheon Files, aMarlin fork which not only looks great, but it already has most features you’ll need in a file manager. There are even plugins for Ubuntu One or Dropbox available, though they aren’t installed by default:</div>
<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:center;"></div>

<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">Geary, a new email client written in Vala, developed by Yorba (the team behind Shotwell) and the elementary team, has been added by default in eOS Luna, replacing Postler. The application integrates with the desktop: you’ll get new mail notifications, attachment handling and so on, but its feature list is not that great yet. Hopefully, the application will receive enough attention until the final release, because is has the potential of becoming one of the best Linux email clients.</div>
<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:center;"></div>

Noise, a Beatbox fork (the two players might merge though), is the default music playerand offers multiple views, equalizer, iPod sync, Internet radio support, Last.fm integration and other features you’ll need in a music player:

<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:center;"></div>

<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">Other new default applications include: Scratch (text editor) and Pantheon Terminal, Maya (calendar):</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;margin-top:0;padding:4px;text-align:center;"><tbody style="margin:0;padding:0;"><tr style="margin:0;padding:0;"><td style="margin:0;padding:0;"></td></tr><tr style="margin:0;padding:0;"><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size:11px;margin:0;padding:0;">Maya - calendar app

<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;margin-top:0;padding:4px;text-align:center;"><tbody style="margin:0;padding:0;"><tr style="margin:0;padding:0;"><td style="margin:0;padding:0;"></td></tr><tr style="margin:0;padding:0;"><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size:11px;margin:0;padding:0;">Pantheon Terminal</td></tr></tbody></table>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;margin-top:0;padding:4px;text-align:center;"><tbody style="margin:0;padding:0;"><tr style="margin:0;padding:0;"><td style="margin:0;padding:0;"></td></tr><tr style="margin:0;padding:0;"><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size:11px;margin:0;padding:0;">Scratch - text editor</td></tr></tbody></table>

<div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">This is obvious, but it deserves to be mentioned anyway: elementary GTK and elementary icon theme, designed by Daniel Fore, are of course used by default. Also, there’s no way to change these in Switchboard, but you can use the same tools that are available for Ubuntu if you want to do this.</div><div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">

</div><div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">Since it’s based on top of Ubuntu 12.04, Luna uses the Linux kernel 3.2.0-32, Xorg 1.11.4 and GTK 3.4.</div><div style="background-color:white;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;margin:0;padding:0;text-align:justify;">
