What's new in exGENT Build 170209 Xfce

Feb 9, 2017
  • Today I discovered some errors in exGENT Build 170206. They were not important, but nevertheless annoying. Build 170209 is totally error-free (as far as I know). While I was at it I installed Google Chrome (for all Netflix addicts) and Spotify (for all music lovers). All other installed packages in exGENT have been updated to the latest available version by 170209.

New in exGENT Build 20160123 Xfce (Jan 25, 2016)

  • I've made yet a new version (20160123) of exGENT based on Gentoo Linux. Now with Xfce 4.12.1 and kernel 4.4. It's for the 64 bit architecture. I call it exGENT 2016 Xfce4 Live DVD. It replaces version 20141227. The ISO file is of 2280 MB due to the fact that this version has a lot of packages pre-installed. Among them two different Web Browsers: Firefox and Opera. Despite this exGENT version 160123 runs surprisingly fast from DVD or USB. Even in VirtualBox. Faster than most other Linux live systems. All installed packages in exGENT have been updated to the latest available version by 160123.

New in exGENT 130318 (Mar 19, 2013)

  • I've made a new version (20130318) of exGENT 32bit (Gentoo) Live CD. The old version of exGENT is from 20130215. My new exGENT Linux live system uses LXDE as Desktop Environment and "my special" Gentoo genkernel 3.7.10-gentoo-exton. Kernel 3.7.10 is the latest Gentoo kernel. LXDE is used because of its speed. The system language is English. Quite new is that I've found a suitable installation program, in which a Grub installation (Grub Legacy) is included. I've also added more support for Atheros and Broadcom wireless cards.
