siduction is a Linux distribution, a desktop-oriented operating system and live medium based on the "unstable" branch of Debian GNU/Linux.
Forked from aptosid in late 2011, siduction offers three separate live media with KDE, LXDE and Xfce desktops.
The project also promises regular releases, an open development model, and friendly relationship with its developer and user community.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· The installer offers the choice of btrfs as filesystem. Please mind the warnings you will see! The implementation of btrfs is to be seen as experimental and should not be used on production machines. Regular back-ups are a must! There is also a limitation to regular MBR, btrfs does not work with GPT for now.
· Another new siduction package is sidu-disk-center. It implements the opportunity to set up and maintain the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) prior to installation. sidu-disk-center is independent from the installer, but can be called from it.
· At LinuxTag Convention in Berlin we will release a new flavour of siduction with the relatively young, but heavily developed, desktop environment Razor-Qt. This will take place during a release party at our booth on May 25th at 18:00. If developement keeps up with what it is now, Razor-Qt will be adapted to our regular release cycle with our next release 2012.2.
· The Bluewater-Manual is, next to English and German, also available in Pt-Br, Polish and Italian now. Translators/revisors for other languages are very welcome if they show up in IRC channel #siduction-doc.
· In the background we have hardened and refined our infrastructure, which is quite solid by now.
