A lot of time has passed since last prerelease, and some bug changes have been done
The biggest change is that we use new ltsp-packages, which is built by debian packages. Since this is more or less the same tools that is used with lessdisks, lessdisks is no longer on the CD. Also, to get more education apps onto the CD, some of the developer tools are removed. There is no Image for the PowerPC this time, I hope to get back with more info in that department later on.
Changes from pr05 (r4251) to pr06 (r5132) -
Some of the new packages on the CD:
- Some nice to have packages:
- acpid (better powermanagement for newer laptops) desktop-file-utils (better handling of things for workstations) gnupg (privacy toolkit)
- celestia (space simulation) edict (english japanese dictionary??) gcompris (education games for small children of all ages) gperiodic (periodic table app) kdeedu (kde educational apps)
- gimp (image manupilation)
kmail (seems like people is actually using this
) quanta (web dev environment)
- etherwake (wake up workstations for upgrades ++) arping (sysadm toolbox) raidutils rsync sudo
- ltsp - New LTSP-packages (new upstream release?)
