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).
