Arietis!

Thursday 29 May 2008 at 18:05

Hello all,
We decided that all the PlayOnLinux 3 major versions wil habe a codename. This first codename was chosen by the PlayOnLinux's staff after a survey.

So this version (which will be out in 2 days) is named: Arietis.
It means that whatever you talk about Arietis or PlayOnLinux 3, it indicates the same program.

PlayOnLinux 3.1 will be Arietis 1

But what could Arietis means?


So Arietis is a star, as you could have guessed thanks to the picture (thank you Rex), but it is not any star since it is the brigthest one of the Aries constellation.
It is 18 times larger and 4.5 times more massive than our good old Sun. Moreover, it's only at 65.91 (+/-1.35) ligth years from us.
That's it for the quick astronomy lesson dedicated to PlayOnLinux 3's (future) release.
