New in ExLight Linux Live DVD 150126 (Jan 30, 2015)

  • ExLight is now based on upcoming Ubuntu 15.04 (alias "Vivid Vervet") and Debian "Jessie".
  • I have upgraded the Desktop environment Enlightenment ("Beauty at your fingertips") to version 0.19.1.
  • I have replaced kernel 3.16.0-21-exton with kernel 3.18.0-10-exton.
  • ExLight's ISO file is now a ISO-hybrid, which means that it can very easily be transferred (copied) to a USB pen drive. You can then even run ExLight from the USB stick and save all your system changes on the stick. I.e. you will enjoy persistence! I've found two scripts which make the installation to USB very simple. The scripts are quite ingenious. My tests show that they work flawlessly on USB installations of all normal Ubuntu systems.
  • Another big improvement is that ExLight can run from RAM. Use Boot alternative 3 (Copy to RAM). When the system has booted up you can remove the disc (DVD) or USB stick. You'll need at least 2 GB RAM to run ExLight that way.
  • The installation program Ubiquity (live installer) is now working as intended in ExLight version 150126. I.e. a new user (your user) will be created during the installation process.
  • I have installed Nvidia Graphic driver 346.35.
  • The ISO file has decreased in size from 1200 MB to 768 MB. It means that the system will run faster from DVD or USB stick. When you run ExLight from RAM everything will be superfast!
