SaxenOS 2.0 is released

http://saxenos.de/wb/pages/posts/saxenos-2.0-is-released24.php

Posted by Administrator (stibs) on Mar 17 2007 at 11:13 AM News (http://saxenos.de/wb/pages/news.php) >>

The SaxenOS 2 iso image is now down to a 534 MB size and needs about 1.7 GB space on the target partition plus of course the space for home directories and temporary/log files - so a 2 GB partition size is still the minimum. Check the download page to grab it.
Changes:
Installer
- Fixed german installer translations
- Changed formatting of target partition to Ext3

System
- Removed Win32 Codecs - they're now a separate installer download (for legal reasons of course)
- Removed Realbasic - check the installer downloads next week (Also: OpenOffice german will be there in a few days)
- New SaxenOS System Panel, written in Realbasic

Fixed major bug:
After the last package update Zenpanel didn't work anymore. I had to come up with a quick solution. No already available panel/system center worked and so I wrote a small user interface with buttons to start the system management applications, the SaxenOS System Panel. It's not very beautiful and lacks translations but works. Expect a better solution in April when I got more experience with Realbasic.
Quick opinion piece about Realbasic: It's great! I played and tried an hour while reading documentation for another hour and after one more hour of real coding I had a working solution for a system panel - not bad at all, considering, I just have basic knowledge and very very limited experience in programming. My next little project will be a GUI for configuring Xorg.
OK, have fun with SaxenOS 2.0. Consider buying it on CD since all the websites listed at the shop-page support SaxenOS by sending us some percents of their sales price.
If you have questions, please post them at the forum or send us an email. In the office hours (~7 a.m. to 4 p.m. GMT+1) you can even call us. I speak German and English and a little bit Russian.
Cheers!

Hi from Saxony/ Germany!


This is the home of the SaxenOS Linux distribution.

SaxenOS is an easy to install, familiar to use and lightweight operating system for x86 computers. It fits complete with office, multimedia and internet applications on one CD. The hardware system requirements are quite low. Already an old Pentium 2, 350 MHz with 128 MB RAM and a 2 GB harddisk is enough.

SaxenOS' installer is bilingual in English and German, the operating system itself can be configured at the first boot in every language you may speak and Linux supports.

SaxenOS Distrowatch Listing (http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=saxenos)

Why should you use it?
- Fits perfectly for low spec hardware.
- Very very speedy on modern systems.
- Windows-like interface and package management.
- Preconfigured as best as possible without being intrusive.
- Java, Flash included, codecs as download available.
- Most home/office applications pre-installed.
- Small 535 MB downbload, fits on one CD.
- Hebrew, Arabic and Urdu fonts included.
- Friendly support in the forum, in irc and by email.
- Linux-newbies are very welcome!

How can you get it?
- Download the freely available ISO image by choosing the "Download"-link from the left, burn the ISO and install it by booting from the burned cd.
- Consider buying SaxenOS on CD and get it sent to you. With buying a copy you support SaxenOS financially.

What else should you know?
There is a documentation link at the left, it leads at the moment to a German language documentation of installation and first steps in SaxenOS. Please help translating it to more languages!

How can I help?
We're looking for people who'd like to write applications in Realbasic for SaxenOS system administration and for evangelists. Advertise for SaxenOS on your homepage, tell everybody that you like it and how it works, show your laptop to friends, workmates, grandparents, bypassers on the street, etc. and tell them how to get it ;-).
