Regardless whether you choose a "Server" edition or a headless "Desktop" edition (version) of your OS: - Try out Sugarizer 1.0.1 at http://box:8089 (and later http://box/sugarizer) after you install Internet-in-a-Box. TK in the Far East was a tremendous help persisting to weed out a couple vicious bugs. - Arky in Cambodia made incredible contributions including Kolibri 0.10.0 as a possible world-changing successor to KA Lite in coming years (KA Lite is the famous learning tool for Khan Academy videos & self-quizzes). Now you can try out the new Kolibri, using http://box:8009 with the usual account/password <http://wiki.laptop.org/go/IIAB/FAQ#What_are_the_default_passwords.3F>, after you install Internet-in-a-Box. In future, http://box/kolibri should also work. - Draft IIAB 6.6 Release Notes <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-6.6-Release-Notes> are more comprehensive than last week, as prep for final release begins in coming days/weeks... IMPLEMENTERS: we recommend you first run "sudo apt update; sudo apt -y dist-upgrade; sudo reboot" on a clean OS...before installing IIAB 6.6 Preview 2 using it 1-line-installers here: http://download.iiab.io/6.6 CONTRIBUTORS: an amazing 98 tickets have been closed as we approach the finish line at https://github.com/iiab/iiab/milestone/3 ...where almost anybody can help knock off a couple of the remaining tickets ...benefiting kids & communities around the globe! > Best regards from France. > > Lionel. > > > 2018-07-13 22:11 GMT+02:00 Adam Holt <h...@laptop.org>: > >> Don't worry it's not "666" on Friday the 13th -- the new/preview >> Internet-in-a-Box 6.6 Preview largely works on all 3 OS's (Raspbian, Ubuntu >> 18.04 and the imminent Debian 9.5 >> <https://lists.debian.org/debian-stable-announce/2018/07/msg00000.html> >> arriving "tomorrow" 2018-07-14!) >> >> Try a fresh install by picking one of Internet-in-a-Box's "1-line >> installers" here and letting it rip: >> >> http://download.iiab.io/6.6 >> >> You can choose a MIN-sized, MEDIUM-sized or BIG-sized Internet-in-a-Box >> (IIAB).
