Topic: Release Notes

We are pleased to present to you during the holiday season sidux-dvd 2008-04 "Πόντος".
This version brings a lot of technical novelties as well as an extended list of applications specialy from the educational sector.

After fixing the problem with multiple optical disc drives, which occured in our first preview, and quite some infrastructural changes, we now have the pleasure to announce the immediate availability of sidux 2008-04 "Πόντος", available in the following flavours:

• KDE-lite, amd64, en/ de, ≈460 MB.
• KDE-lite, i686, en/ de, ≈455 MB.
• KDE-full, amd64+i686, en/ de (da, el, es, fr, hr, it, ja, nl, pt, pt_BR, ro, ru through liveapt) ≈1.9 GB.
• XFCE, amd64, en/ de, ≈400 MB.
• XFCE, i686, en/ de, ≈395 MB.

sidux is a full featured Debian sid based live CD with a special focus on hard disk installations, a clean upgrade path within sid and additional hard- and software support. The ISO is completely based on Debian sid, enriched and stabilized with sidux' own packages and scripts.
