Snapshot 2 is available: Changes respective to snapshot 1: -Its main focus was modernization: kernel, XFree, gnome, abiword mozilla. -Like usual there is an effort in the graphics and printing area (Indy's gimp has color management and Indy has bleeding edge printer drivers). In the sound and video area there is glame (gnu Linux audio mechanics), broadcast2000, xine -In the server area the conjunction of ACLs and XFS allows Samba no longer being the poor man in an NT network -As usual there was some software who was demoted: this time it was turn of clustering software. -Allows using SpeedTouch modems. It is not as easy as I would like but allows the user a fighting chance. I think Indy should make special efforts for supporting those kinds of peripherals you buy when you pay from your own pocket. In future releases I hope I will be able to add several models of Winmodems. -Documentation: rute and an Independence-HOWTOs for documenting Indy specifics (for now it has only one HOWTO: SpeedTouch modems) Snapshot 2 is available at: ftp://ftp.seul.org/Indy-7.1/os Isos are available at: ftp://ftp.seul.org/Indy-7.1/isos Differential RPMS respective to RedHat are in: ftp://ftp.seul.org/Indy-7.1/differential Sources will be available tomorrow in: ftp://ftp.seul.org/Indy-7.1/sources There will be no isos for sources in order to save space (I also consider there is no real need for isos from sources since it is not like for an installation where all packages must be present and there constraints about in which CD they are). -- Jean Francois Martinez The Independence project: because Linux should be for everyone http://independence.seul.org
