PAUL LUTUS ARACHNOPHILIA INSTALL

A quibble about The Register's review: while the DVD may only allow a Gnome install, install CDs ('CD #1') are available for Gnome, KDE, and Xfce/Lxde. Update: reviews at Distrowatch and The Register. And I expect it will download hundreds if not thousands of megabytes, so I'd best do it during a quiet period (overnight). I expect I'll be needing that this will be my first attempt at a Debian upgrade.

PAUL LUTUS ARACHNOPHILIA UPGRADE

I see in the sidebar that HowToForge has an upgrade tutorial. The release notes will be further improved and translated to additional languages in the weeks after the release. As always, Debian GNU/Linux systems can be upgraded painlessly, in place, without any forced downtime, but it is strongly recommended to read the release notes for possible issues, and for detailed instructions on installing and upgrading.

Upgrades to Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 from the previous release, Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (codenamed 'Etch') are automatically handled by the aptitude package management tool for most configurations, and to a certain degree also by the apt-get package management tool. It also features compatibility with the FHS v2.3 and software developed for version 3.2 of the LSB.

Debian GNU/Linux is a free operating system which supports a total of twelve processor architectures and includes the KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and LXDE desktop environments. The Debian Project is pleased to announce the official release of Debian GNU/Linux version 5.0 (codenamed 'Lenny') after 22 months of constant development. I'm glad to see development continuing, and I'm looking forward to trying AntiX 8 on my 'obsolete' computers. Long time readers may recall that I proclaimed Antix MEPIS 7.2 the winner in last year's evaluation of lightweight Linuxes. AntiX is designed to work on computers with as little as 64 MB RAM and Pentium II or equivalent AMD processors, but not K5/K6 processors. Localisation is much improved in this version. There are improved and extended themes and artwork for icewm and fluxbox. This release defaults to a fully customised icewm desktop (fluxbox is also installed) In addition to the SimplyMEPIS 8.0 foundation with its 2.6.27-15 kernel and Assistants, antiX has an improved antiX-Control Centre, new scripts for screenshots, and phonebook. The antiX-team is proud to announce that antiX MEPIS 8 'Intifada' - a fast and light complete desktop and livecd based on SimplyMEPIS and Debian Testing, with a little bit of sidux,- is now available at mepis mirrors in the released/antix directories in full and base editions.
