Hi all, we are pleased to announce the maintenance release T2 SDE 6.0.3 named "Spring Fever".
It also comes with some updated packages, but mostly security updates, bug fixes and some improvements! The release primarily focus to iron out all known LiveCD issues for smooth building of custom T2-based LiveCD/DVD and USB sticks. Prebuilt Live ISO images of the generic-minimal-X.org-desktop are available for x86, x86-64, ppc, ppc64 and sparc64 will follow, soon: http://osiris.tfh-berlin.de/mirror/t2/stable/6.0.3/ http://nexus.tfh-berlin.de/t2/binary/stable/6.0.3/ Please note our roadmap and known issue lists at: http://www.t2-project.org/releases/ For more information please check out the full anounncement below. = About T2 = T2 is not a common Linux distribution - it is a flexible Open Source System Development Environment, allowing the creation of custom distributions with bleeding edge technology. With T2 you can define targets for various purposes, ranging from embedded Linux systems with a few MB of size over server configurations to a full desktop system featuring X.Org foundation, KDE, Gnome, OpenOffice.Org and many more. Those targets can be compiled for use on the most common architectures: Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Blackfin, IA64, HPPA/HPPA64, IA64, MIPS/MIPS64, PowerPC/PowerPC64, SPARC/SPARC64, SuperH, x86/x86-64 - theoretically any GCC/Linux supported one. You can find more info about T2 at http://www.t2-project.org/. = T2 6.0 Tree (Branch) Overview = This release includes bug fixes, security fixes, updates and even some improvements to the SDE.
