What's new in SAM Linux Desktop 9
Aug 10, 2009
- The Sam Linux Team announces its first release of SAM Linux 2009 without Nico.
- The distribution is based on PCLinuxOS 2009.1 but it will be the last release based on PCLinuxOS.
- The release should also be seen as a farewell to our former teamleader Nico Reuter.
- The most important changes are the upgrade to kernel version 2.6.26.8, XFCE 4.6.1, support of a variety of WLAN hardware out there and support of the MSI Wind Netbook architecture.
- Minor changes include the upgrade of all packages up to the date 18.July 2009 and the use of opera as Emailtool instead of Thunderbird.
- Sam 2009 is made fully compatible to the PCLinuxOS repositories. In the process of changing from PCLinuxOS to a distribution still unannounced we will stop hosting our own PCLinuxOS based repository but we will keep up the support for Sam Linux 2009 as long as it is in use by our community.
