NexentaOS (elatte) Alpha 2 is now available for download at:
http://www.gnusolaris.org/Download This is a major release, with 84 bugs fixed and 829 packages added since Alpha 1. In particular, Alpha 2 provides: * New Installer. The new Installer is ncurses/dialog based, user-friendly, and substantially cleaned-up. The Alpha 2 Installer supports: a. Auto-partitioning - there's no need anymore to interact with the low-level fdisk and format utilities. b. InstallCD upgrade. If you already have NexentaOS installed, simply boot from the InstallCD and follow the instructions. c. Network interface configuration (DHCP and static). * Two new Desktop Managers, in addition to GNOME. (Yes, KDE is one of the two) * Wi-Fi drivers, thanks to http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/ * Full support for Removable Drives. NexentaOS can now be installed on a removable drive and booted from it - as long as your BIOS supports the option (to boot from a removable drive). Tested with 100GB Maxtor drive, 1GB Memorex USB stick, as well as Seagate portable USB drive. * Complete Mono platform, along with popular mono applications: f-spot, beagle, etc. * Java Runtime Environment included with both InstallCD and LiveCD and available right after the installation. * More Audio drivers. AC97 audio controller on VIA chipsets, AC97 audio controller on Intel chipsets, and more. * OpenSolaris build #30, non-DEBUG kernel. Thanks! Nexenta Team. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
