The revision and upgrade of the 2004 LinEx version has already been released.
It has been hard, between the traps of Debian sarge, bugs pending to correct since the last release and desire to support much more hardware, it has had been its time, but now it is ready. These are some of the new features:
- Support serial ata disks
- Gambas runtime libraries included
- Support of installation from usb disks
- 500 mb of upgraded Debian packages
- nvu 0.5 in Spanish
- Firefox 1.0 with plugins self-installation and complete support for the spanish tributary agency website and its digital certificates.
- New bunch of available drivers, in addition to the upgrading of those that were already available.
- New apt repositories for, maintaining the linex componentization, to allow the installation of all the packages that were in Debian sarge in December.
- Only two applications have changed: inkscape by sodipodi and k3b by eroaster.
- The applications with gnome menu entries that need root permission can start from any user (providing the password), without being necessary to login in the root session for the administration tasks.
- and a long list …
