New in Super OS 10.10 (Oct 11, 2010)

- NEW: Easy installation of Nvidia, ATI and Broadcom drivers, even without an internet connection (see bellow)

New in Super OS 10.04 (Sep 8, 2010)
- The much awaited 64 bits version is now available, and includes ia32-libs to improve compatibility with 32 bits applications
- Wubi was re-introduced after a brief absence in Super OS 9.10
- The included cd2usb is now 100% mouse-driven: no more CLI-style interfaces
- Java was replaced with OpenJDK, because that’s what “ubuntu-restricted-extras” now installs instead of Java and it seems to work fine
- Most software updated, as usual: Firefox 3.6.8, Google Chrome 6, Opera 10.61, etc…
- KDE and some QT libraries previously included were removed to free up some space (I will consider if they will be re-included in the future)
- Moonlight removed due a bug in the Ubuntu packages (Silverlight/Moonlight should be avoided anyway)
New in Super OS 9.04 (Apr 26, 2009)
- Remaster of Ubuntu 9.04
- Many software was updated (OpenOffice, Furius ISO Mount, Java, Flash, Wine, Firefox, Brasero, Pidgin, GIMP, gufw, Startup Manager, NTFS driver, etc, etc…)
- An official repository is now available (it is now easier to keep your system updated)
- cd2usb is now included on the DVD menu (under Windows)
