I'm glad to inform you that the first alpha installer for the 3.0
release (Parkes) is available for download at
http://beta.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-three/installer/3.0-alpha1/
I have been using gNewSense Parkes alpha1 for quite sometime, some of my
petty observations:
* The system is pretty stable -- it doesn't hang or throw me into
predicament -- it is stable enough to be usable.
* The boot is blistering fast (compared to gNewSense 2.3). I get this
"failed" message during the boot (I don't know whether it is critical
though):
Loading cpufreq kernel modules...failed
I am using the linux-libre-3.4.4[1] as the kernel that came with
gNewSense Parkes was not able to recognize my modem.
[1]: http://www.jxself.org/linux-libre/
* When I am connected to the Internet the GNOME notification icon shows
that there is "no network connection", though I am able to connect to
the Internet and use it.
* I tried a "apt-get update" today and I get a GPG error that says:
W: GPG error: http://http.us.debian.org squeeze Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:
NO_PUBKEY AED4B06F473041FA
I have attached the full output of the "apt-get update" command with
this mail.
* GNU Emacs doesn't come in the default install (smiles). When I
installed it, I found that the Emacs Info manual is missing, I think
this should be because of Debian's DFSG. I'd be good to include the
documentation in gNewSense Parkes.
That is about it. Thanks for paying heed.
