BTW, temos o claviola como nosso beta tester oficial e vamos ver o que ele nos conta =) []s! ----- Forwarded message from Branden Robinson <branden@indy.progenylinux.com> ----- It should go without saying, but all of Progeny's enhancements and additions are freely licensed and available for incorporation into the official Debian packages (where this has not already been done), per the discretion of the appropriate package maintainers. ******************************************************************************** Progeny Linux Systems is pleased to announce the availability of its second beta release of Progeny Debian. This beta is being released as an independent, installable system. ISO images are available at <http://archive.progeny.com/images/>. They consist of: 1. 1 binary Install CD 2. 2 source CDs 3. 1 boot floppy 4. 1 kernel module floppy Be sure to read the Beta 2 Release Notes, at <http://archive.progeny.com/RELNOTES.beta2>. The beta is also available as an upgrade to: 1. Debian 2.2 (potato) 2. "slink-and-a-half" (the VA Linux boxed set edition of Debian 2.1) 3. Debian 2.2 with Helix-GNOME packages Upgrades from other versions of Debian, or from Debian-based distributions, are not yet officially supported, but may work. Progeny would appreciate hearing of any efforts to make these migrations successful. Some of the features of this release: - zero-floppy installation (for systems that support El Torito bootable CD-ROMs) - graphical install using GTK+ - noninteractive installation (for clusters and server farms) - a user-friendly and coherent default GNOME desktop configuration - recent packages from Debian's testing version (woody) - debconfization of many packages - a GNOME front end to debconf - GTK+-based "configlets" for several critical aspects of system configuration (time/date, MTA, network setup, XFree86) using debconf on the back end - boot support via GRUB, including (optional) automatic migration from LILO - package sets, an alternative to task packages in which groups of packages are defined by a list of member packages in a conffile - two package set selection tools, apt-pkgset (command line), and gnome-apt-pkgset (GNOME) which can be used to easily install and remove package sets, for easy management of popular and useful groups of Debian packages - hardware autodetection (based on the "detect" library) - Linux kernel 2.2.18 - XFree86 4.0.2 - Mozilla 0.7 We encourage people to test this release and report bugs, so our final release can be as high-quality as possible.
