Leading towards the final release of sidux 2007-03 Γαῖα and despite some vacancies during the holiday season, some pretty far reaching transitions could be completed to remove hard dependencies on gtk+ 1.2, which not only required a siginificant amount of ISO storage, but also imposed an additional maintenance and security support burden on our toolset. Now we're proud to announce the third preview for sidux 2007-03 Γαῖα and are looking forward to the full featured final release in about a week.

Thanks to your feedback the issues on non-german keyboard layouts and scanner misbehaviour in preview 1 could be fixed in sidux 2007-03 Γαῖα Preview 2. This is a mere bugfix release and doesn't require reinstalling, instructions to fix the issues in preview 1 are described below (updating to the new kernel and adapting /etc/X11/xorg.conf to your keyboard layout).

After some late trouble with Xdialog due to the libglib1.2ldbl transition and unscheduled downtime of debian's i386 buildd, we're now ready to enter the preview season leading to sidux 2007-03 "Γαῖα".

The sidux-manual is now available in Polish with maslot as the translator and maintainer.

maslot started work to translate the manual to Polish 6 months ago, and on his own.and has translated 80% of the manual, which consists of 35 files in total (to date) and if printed would run to 200 +pages per translation,

The dedication and stamina truly ranks maslot with the best of the best and is an outstanding role model for anyone wishing to participate and contribute to linux and sidux.

maslot, you never gave up, and that is sheer sweat, guts and determination.

We salute you,


On behalf of the sidux Team

salute from the devil as well.
whenever a news entry appears i have a polish translation in my mailbox within a day.
so maslot wins a prize for most dedicated translator.
and the prize is: ....drumroll....a sidux LinuxTag t-shirt
so, maslot, when you translate this, give me adress and size.

and while i am at it: we are still looking for translators for fr, pt, jp and zn.
anyone able and willing please join #sidux-docs on irc.
