Slingshot Express Mac OS
A good looking and lightweight application launcher for Pantheon and other desktops
I have followed all the steps described on the Getting Started with DB2 Express v9.7 e-book and installed DB2 Express-C on my Mac. The installation succeeded without a problem. I did setup OS X. What is Slingshot? Slingshot is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution with the MATE Desktop Environment built for use in the SANS penetration testing curriculum and beyond. Designed to be stable, reliable and lean, Slingshot is built with Vagrant and Ansible. It includes many standard pen testing tools, as well as the PenTesters Framework (PTF). Slingshot is a 3-wheel, open-air roadster that allows you to experience the world in a whole new way. Not a motorcycle nor a convertible, feel the rush of the road below and the sky above while sitting barely 5 inches above the ground. BUILT TO BE SEEN. Impossible To Miss. Have you ever wanted to shoot a slingshot at people? This game can give you such an experience! But be careful,because you have a slingshot and people for which you intend to shoot there is a whole Arsenal of weapons,which they will apply, to kill you. Rely only on your slingshot and agility, find enough stones, shoot all the enemies.
What's new in Slingshot 0.8.1.1:
- Translations
Slingshot is an open source, low on resources, attractive and free graphical software implemented in Vala and designed to act as an application launcher specifically engineered for the elementary OS Linux operating system and its Patheon desktop environment.
The software looks exactly like any other application launcher (also known as dock), such as Docky or AWN (Avant Window Navigator). You can also compare it with the Mac OS X dock if you want, but it’s a little bit different in functionality.
Getting started with Slingshot
While in theory Slingshot can be installed on any distribution of GNU/Linux, it is quite hard to compile it on Linux kernel-based operating systems where its runtime dependencies cannot be met. Slingshot has a lot of requirements and not all of them are available on all distributions.
One of these requirements is libunity, which is part of the Unity graphical interface of the Ubuntu Linux operating system. This means that you will be able to install Slingshot on Ubuntu-based distributions, besides elementary OS.
After installation, Slingshot can be opened from the main menu of your desktop environment. It can be configured to automatically start when the desktop environment starts. By default, it is located on the bottom edge of the screen, but you can place it anywhere you want.
Works on other open source desktop environments
The software is usable with other open source desktop environments as well, it is supposed to be simple and easy on the eyes, and the best of all is that it just works. Slingshot can be used on major Linux operating systems via the distribution's default software repositories.
A clone of the Slingshot application launcher exists
A clone of the Slingshot application launcher exists as a GNOME Shell extension for the GNOME 3 desktop environment. The software has been successfully tested with 32-bit and 64-bit computer platforms.
