This version represents eight months of development, and we can proudly say that this time was not wasted. KateOS now fulfills our users' requirements better than ever, while being both modern and stable. This new version contains hundreds of updated packages, lots of bugfixes, and many improved solutions.
The most important new features in KateOS 3.6 are:
Software-driven system hibernation
A GUI installer (included in the LIVE edition)
A new version of update-notifier
New startup scripts which are accessible via the service command
Better support for HP printers (via hplip)
Internationalization support in the whole system (using gettext)
New French translation of the CORE installer and many system components.
A new GUI network configuration tool
Simplified CORE installer
Several new packages such as Audacious and Pidgin
initrd has been replaced with initramfs
This is the first stable version containing a graphical installer in the LIVE edition. As usual, the CORE version is available on three CDs, and the DVD edition includes the KDE and GNOME desktop environments. Additionally, advanced users have the option of the Miniiso edition, which only contains a basic set of packages (only those crucial for booting the system and configuring the network).
