SYS 0.23 - full-automatic installation and 17,5 GB software
SYS v. 0.23
Version 0.23 of Linux SYS was released on 24/8/2008.
The installation DVD of SYS brings about 5000 or 18 GB applications, more can be downloaded from the repository.
The installation is full-automatical, and needs 15 min. on a modern computer. However, it's convenient to make sufficiently empty space before, because resizing half-full partitions during the installation takes time.
Many programs were substituted by better ones, all were updated: linux 2.6.26.2 and glibc 2.7 compiled with its headers, glib 2.17.7, gcc 4.2.4, gtk+ 2.13.7, pango 1.21.4, cairo 1.7.4, mesa 7.0.3, X 1.4.2, compiz-fusion 0.77, perl 5.8.8, OpenOffice 3.0.0.9339, gimp 2.5.2, alsa 1.0.17, pulseaudio 0.9.10, songbird 0.8rc , banshee 1.2, flashplayer 10rc etc.
Beside of this, SYS will start to provide an always-actualized install DVD called SYS-current. It will make available immediately and in the most uncomplicated manner actual updates and corrections, and normally should be prefered for new installations.
Plenty Packages and the Install DVD can be downloaded from several mirrors, two of them:
ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/install/sys
ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/sys-linux
