What is sidux? - Debian Hot & Spicy!

Posted by : slh on Thursday, June 26, 2008 - 12:01 AM

A little later than planned due to a number of library transitions in Debian/ sid, we now have the pleasure to announce the immediate availability of sidux 2008-02 "Έρεβος", shipping in roughly ≈470 MB kde-lite flavours for amd64 and i386 (i686), a combined i386+amd64 release with ≈1.5 GB KDE for kde-full and, as usual, an xdelta to add initial localisations for all currently supported languages. Enhancing the sidux family, a roughly ≈420 MB large XFCE variant has been added for amd64 and i386 (i686) for the first time.

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.

A little later than planned, sidux 2008-02 "Έρεβος" is now ready to enter the preview season for amd64 and i686 systems. As usual the previews are shipping only as a small (≈460 MB), but fully functional, KDE-lite flavour, to ease up testing and xdelta uploads and will be accompanied by the combined ≈1.5 GB KDE-full variant for the final release.

The Italian -it version of the the sidux Operating System manual hits the sidux site with zenren and speedygeo as translators and maintainers !!!!

The Italian version of sidux-manuals has been in the works for nearly 14 months. It was started by alessiog75, then dedo picked it up, (unfortunately he could not continue either), followed months later by fortalomo whom has subsequently moved continents.

Then along came speedygeo and zenren. zenren really put the foot to the floor in true Italian fashion!
