Kolibri OS: Professional Edition (# 1540)

Kolibri OS: Professional Edition - is an unofficial OS distribution Hummingbird focused primarily on developers.

Features of the distribution:
- It is based on the latest "nightly build" kernel # 1540
- Added information on system functions in the HTML format of Pterox 'DocPack (from Nazarus'a)
- Added a programmable calculator emulator BZ-34 (staper'a)
- Added a powerful image viewer zSea (from Marat Zakiyanova aka Mario). Images of opening of the default file manager will open in zSea.
- Reorganized the main menu: menu development tools now take its rightful place Text Editor (TinyPad), HEX-editor, calculator and Table ASCII characters
- Removed the "demos" and games
- Changed the design: theme is used WinXP_Classic_blue.skn and monochrome desktop background.
I talked on one of the other forums about inability to download professional version, the link is at top, and the accompanying blurb,
The download link won't go, any ideas as to what's wrong, several other ppl seem to have this if the page is to be believed, but the link just won't go on the english translation page, I tried 'original' ie russian, but same result. I take it this is an old version, by the build number, am I right in suspecting this?

Until 2 years ago, KolibriOS did not have an automated build system, so when bugs were fixed, new programs added or desktop background modified, some person had to create a distributive manually, in his spare time, and host the file somewhere he had a place to host. This is an old distributive from almost 3 years ago, so a lot of things have been improved and fixed since that time. It is also not a "Professional Edition" in the meaning you gave it - the author of that distributive just basically removed the games and demos, and instead of them, added more editors and viewers (from the programs that already exist in our SVN). You can do it yourself in 30 minutes or less. The hosting site of this distributive has probably expired - that's why you can't download it.

In the last 2 years, thanks to work done by CleverMouse, we have automatic build system on the server, and when anyone fixes or adds anything, it's updated automatically in real-time on the "Download" page: http://kolibrios.org/en/download.htm The only thing that can be missing are programs that do not fit inside the floppy image. Because in floppy image we are limited to 1.44MB, some programs or drivers just cannot be placed in it due to limited space. So those programs you can download separately from the link of "Archive with additional programs" on the "Download" page.

I see, and yes, I too cut out the games on fdd, just kept tools, am now using hdd to store apps, redirected to via icons on desktop. ta for your answer, pal.
