sidux 2007-03 "Γαια" release for i686 systems, full KDE flavor. 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.
Our third official sidux release concentrates on overhauling the SysV initsequence of the live CD, refactoring the installer backend and laying the foundation for proper gettext based localisations of our toolset, with additional efforts regarding general clean up, obsoletion of gtk+ 1.2 based tools and especially the kernel. While shipping kernel 2.6.22.3(-rc1), using libata for most PATA chipsets, additional support for Intel IPW3945/ IPW4965 (iwlwifi 1.0.0-1), Realtek RTL8187 and RT2x00 wireless LAN devices has been added based on mac80211.
Again this release only ships in two KDE flavors (lite and full), we're looking for interested maintainers contributing to special purpose releases or tweaking support for other desktop environments and window managers. Even though there seems to be interest in xfce and gnome variants, the required developer support quorum hasn't been reached yet.
The ISO is completely based on Debian Sid, enriched and stabilized with sidux' own packages and scripts.
Now to the interesting topics, like what's on the menu for now:
amd64 (AMD64, Intel Core2, newer 64 bit capable AMD Sempron and Intel Pentium 4 CPUs (watch for the "lm" flag in /proc/cpuinfo or use infobash -v3) and i686 (Pentium pro/ Pentium II, AMD K7 Athlon or newer).
