Start the New Year right! Rid off your laptops/ desktops of pirated OS. Use a more stable, reliable and powerful Operating System. F/OSS. Most of all it’s FREE. Try KahelOS! www.kahelos.org
I’m such an “eventous” person and because today is Rizal Day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rizal_Day and 2012 is just around the corner let me just add to my KahelOS[1] experimentation before i wrap up my 2011.
Guess what, I tried installing Linux Mint[2] desktop environment called Cinnamon[3] on my KahelOS 111111. They say that this desktop is designed to offer yet another transitional option between the old, familiar GNOME 2 and the new GNOME 3 on which its new version 1.1.2 just released before Christmas http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?p=53
And yes to my suprise, it was quite quick and easy to just see a new desktop environment (that is Cinnamon) on my KahelOS Desktop.
Here are some of my screenshots after the fresh install (for i still need to do more exploring before i say more about this experience):
To share with you on how i just easily did this. Here’s a short guide below.
1.Installing cinnamon desktop
Make sure that yaourt and pkg-config is installed on your KahelOS, so you can do that by invoking this command.
$sudo pacman -Sy yaourt pkg-config
Once these software is already installed, then install the cinnamon desktop.
$sudo yaourt -S –noconfirm cinnamon
2. Abilitate/ Activate Cinnamon
by simply opening a terminal and launch “dconf-editor”
a pop up will appear, click org–>gnome–>desktop–>session
then change “session-name” value from “gnome to “cinnamon” then close dconf-editor window.
3.Restart your KahelOS, log-in on your desktop and voila! there’s your new desktop environement.
For me, my experimentation tells me that KahelOS with Cinnamon is a combination of awesomeness and speed! I’ll keep you posted.
Be a hero every like Rizal (Philippines’ National Hero) and Wishing you all an Awesome and Prosperous New Year!

KahelOS is based on Arch Linux.
KahelOS is the first and remains to be the only Filipino Linux Distro with the rolling release model on Arch Linux + GNOME. In the community, it is the first to release (non-beta) such Linux OS on Arch Linux + GNOME.
KahelOS is not just an Operating System so to speak. IT is not just a Technology Product on a Linux and Open Source Platform added to the thousands of FREE Distros already available in the community. IT does not explicitly want to be different or to be set apart from the rest. However, among others, we simply would like Kahel OS (just like our team) to be the embodiment of our IT Values and Philosophy.
It is also a gift and a manifestation of the collaborating Filipino spirit that believes in the competence of the Global IT Community.
As an open source software, KahelOS shall therefore maintain to remain free of charge with an active community to support it.
The term kahel is the Tagalog/ Filipino word for the color or fruit “orange”.
Depicting fun, energy, fresh and flamboyant; KahelOS, its team and community, would like to imbibe the aura and ambiance of warmth and being sociable.
Kahel also signifies hunger or thirst for knowledge and new things as the color orange is a stimulus affecting both mind and body,for doing more activities, having the appetite and socialization.
