-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a first test release (alpha0) of the Skolelinux version based on Debian Lenny. As this is merely a snapshot of the currently ongoing development efforts, there are still some features missing or not in the final state. There are also some bugs not yet fixed. This test release is for the brave users who want to have a look at the next Skolelinux release and want to make sure, that their favorite feature is bug free (or report bugs otherwise).
After months of hard work, a new Skolelinux multi architecture (amd64, i386 and powerpc) netinstall CD is ready. This is the first test CD preparing for a Debian/Lenny based release. It is available from FTP, HTTP and rsync. The CD image size is about 606 MiB. There are a lot of changes since the last CD/DVD release based on Etch. Here are some highlights: * Support for newer hardware: Based on Linux Kernel version 2.6.26 and X.org version 7.3 * More flexible configuration: The configuration of the local DNS zone and the DHCP configuration have been moved into LDAP * Multi architecture network installer CD-Rom (amd64, i386 and powerpc). * PXE (network boot) installation of addition hosts (Workstations, Terminal Servers) are now supported by the main server (Tjener). * Some minor changes under the hood. Some features have been removed as we thing they are no longer required: * Singe architecture installer CD-ROMs: o Please use the network installer CD or the DVD images instead. Some features are still not working as they should. We are aware of these at the moment: * PowerPC is currently out of date (missing packages). * LTSP chroot is not created when the Terminal Server is installed using the new PXE network installer. * Nagios is not configured automatically through the data collected by Sitesummary. * Some flash based websites are not displayed correctly: Gnash is now the default flash player, the non free flash plugin can be installed from lenny-backports (see http://www.backports.org/ for more information). * DVD does not work properly, this alpha0 release is netinstall image only.
