Frugalware 0.6 (Terminus) for i686 and x86_64 released

Traducciones: EN, FR

El Equipo de Desarrolladore de Frugalware tiene el placer de anunciar la disponiblidad de Frugalware 0.6, our sixth stable release.

A short and incomplete list of changes since 0.6rc2:

  • Linux 2.6.20.3
  • We are proud to be one of the first distributions to ship the stable GNOME 2.18
  • Fixed a few bugs in XDM

If you didn’t follow the changes during the pre/rc releases, here are the most important changes since 0.5:

  • Up to date base system: Glibc 2.5, Binutils 2.17.50.0.6 with DT_GNU_HASH support, DBUS 1.0 and Python 2.5
  • Up to date desktop packages: KDE 3.5.6, XFCE 4.4, Beryl 0.2.0, OpenOffice 2.1, Firefox 2.0.0.2 and GNOME 2.18
  • All installed-by-default packages using Java are now built using gcj/ecj, the original binary javac is only provided as an alternate compiler.
  • Setup: speed improvements, support for more custom action, tftp installs and usb sticks are now supported.
  • Full support for Xgl/Beryl in KDE
  • Documentation: it is more than two times longer than it was until now.

Known Issues:

  • If you use a JMicron disk controller and you cannot boot 0.6, try booting with any of these options on the GRUB prompt: irqpoll, libata.atapi_enabled=0 and combined_mode=libata
  • The first time you attempt to use the Main Menu application in GNOME to edit the menus, the GNOME Panel will crash. This will not happen again after that. This will hopefully be fixed sometime and an update will be released.
  • If you want to use x86_64, download 0.6a for x86_64 instead!
