Hi all, The gNewSense project is pleased to announce version 2.2 of its 100% FSF Free GNU/Linux distribution. This is the second point update to the release codenamed 'deltah'.
This release was made 2009-04-15, and contains all security updates made to the archive up to and including 2009-04-14. This release introduces GLX back into the default install. This enables hardware accelaration by default, meaning Compiz and 3D games will work once again. As with 2.1, gNewSense 2.2 is available as a live cd for x86 (i386) systems, using GNOME as the default desktop environment (others such as XFCE or KDE are available post installation).
