GoboLinux 014.01 / 015 Description

GoboLinux is an open source, free and modular Linux distribution that works a little bit different than other similar products, as it organizes its packages in a new, logical way.It is a Linux operating system for people who prefer a non-UNIX-like filesystem layout for their machines.The system logically groups programs and files in directories (e.g. /System/Links/Executables) that contains only symbolic links to the actual executable files.GoboLinux is distributed as a single Live DVD ISO image, supporting only the 32-bit architecture. It can be easily installed on a local disk drive or used directly from the live media. What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]The Installer (especially its Qt based GUI) has not been tested yetKDE warnings related to MIME typesudisksd and upowerd are not automatically started by dbus. As a workaround, they are being launched by ~/.xinitrcpolkitd is not automatically started by dbus either, and launching it from the command line fails with permission-related problemsThere are some debug print messages in the kernel coming from AUFS (the unionfs implementation adopted used in the LiveCD) that will be removed in the final versionSome machines with b43 wireless cards simply hanged at boot because of missing firmware. As a workaround I have added the Linux-Firmware package to this snapshot, but licensing terms would probably forbid us from doing so in the final image. Hopefully a kernel upgrade will get that fixed.Firefox has been packed from the binary available at mozilla.org, but no special permissions have been arranged on /Programs to let automatic updates work �.You can free download GoboLinux 014.01 / 015 from Softpedia now.
