Later than planned (due to a hard to find bug in virtualbox-ose), we now have the pleasure to announce the immediate availability of the sidux 2008-03 "Ουρέα" release, available in the following flavours:

* KDE-lite, amd64, en/ de, ≈485 MB.
* KDE-lite, i686, en/ de, ≈480 MB.
* KDE-full, amd64+i686, en/ de (da, el, es, fr, hr, it, ja, nl, pt, pt_BR, ro, ru through liveapt) ≈2 GB.
* XFCE, amd64, en/ de, ≈400 MB.
* XFCE, i686, en/ de, ≈400 MB.

sidux is a full featured Debian sid based live CD with a special focus on hard disk installations, a clean upgrade path within sid and additional hard- and software support. The ISO is completely based on Debian sid, enriched and stabilized with sidux' own packages and scripts.
Release notes for Ουρέα

"Ουρέα" concentrates on integrating the changes caused by kernel 2.6.26, and on the post-install experience — by propagating the default user profile to new users as well. As a welcome side effect, hardware for common netbooks and newer chipsets is now supported by sidux. Furthermore a large number of individual functionality enhancements and bugfixes have been applied to the full package line up and especially sidux' own packages.

A new feature in "Ουρέα" is the ability to select all other languages than German or US English from the grub menu (F4) in the kde-full flavour, installing the localisations for the desktop and many applications while booting. This ensures they are also present after installing sidux, while only installing the required languages for the given system. The amount of memory required for this feature depends on the language and sidux may refuse to install the given language packs automatically with insufficient RAM and the boot sequence will be continued in english language but with the desired localessettings (currency, date/ time format, keyboard charsets). 512 MB memory or more is supposed to be safe for all supported languages, which are:

* Croatian
* Danish
* Dutch
* Greek
* English (GB)
* French
* Italian
* Japanese
* Portuguese (BR and PT)
* Romanian
* Russian
* Spanish
* the language selection depends on the availability of sidux-manual translations, get involved to add your language.

Our special thanks go to the sidux art team and especially all mirror hosters for their efforts regarding sidux.
Minimum system requirements:

* amd64:
o AMD64
Intel Core2
newer 64 bit capable AMD Sempron and Intel Pentium 4 CPUs (watch for the "lm" flag in /proc/cpuinfo or use infobash -v3).
o ≥256 MB RAM, ≥ 512 MB RAM for liveapt.
o VGA graphics card capable of at least 640x480 pixel resolution.
o optical disk drive or USB media.

TurnKey Linux is a new opensource project that aims to develop high-quality opensource software appliances
that are easy to deploy, easy to use and free.

In a nutshell, we believe everything that can be easy, should be easy!

We've recently released public betas of our first three Live CD appliances:

• TurnKey LAMP stack
• TurnKey Joomla
• TurnKey Drupal 5

As described on our website:

• Based on Ubuntu 8.04.1 (hardy LTS).
• Minimal footprint (typically around 150MB) - each appliance is
  carefully built from the ground up with the minimum components needed
  to serve its role with maximum efficiency and security.
• Packaged as an installable Live CD (I.e., bootable ISO) that can run
  on real hardware in addition to most types of virtual machines.

On the cd we have:

- a bootable tiny linux based on Slackware's initrd.img - not compressed so you need: 6mb for just putting the image into memory, 1 mb for the kernel, 1 mb for basic modules and 1 mb for system to work: 6+1+1+1 = 9mb of RAM -> that's what you need to use the CD.

Light - Fast - Now

Use your computers in a lightweight but fully featured way using less energy. The operating will run on low power computers and recycled systems keeping you working and playing with all the features you expect..

It will be fast and easy, and now is the right time to rethink our energy use and computers in our daily lives.

There will be three desktop versions

wattOS - The core desktop system using a fully featured Gnome desktop

mWattOS - Milliwatt a smaller desktop system using XFCE as the core interface. (known as mWOS)

µWattOS - Microwatt an even smaller desktop utilizing a minimal desktop GUI or command line. Ideal for appliances, small systems, kiosks, or old computers.

There will initially be one server version that will be modular and specialized.

"USB Flash Memory GNU/Hurd

It would be nice if we had a bootable USB flash drive Hurd like ?DamnSmallLinux. It would be useful for those who want to try out the Hurd before they commit to installing it on their hard disks. In addition to that, a bootable Flash Hurd would enable us to have a native installer instead of relying on Linux.

It could be installed in the USB using a Live CD (using a script) - this is the Burned version - or directly downloading the iso files from the Internet - Unburned version -. One can use also [qemu] to run the Live CD and them use the USB installation script.

Here is an outline of the things that need to be done. Please add your comments and suggestions."
