Ronald W.

A new CloudShark Upload Manager tool was created and embedded within the NST WUI to accomplish this.” Visit the project’s home page to read the full announcement.

Clemens Toennies has announced the release of Netrunner 4.2, a Kubuntu-based distribution providing the very latest KDE 4.8.3 desktop: “Netrunner 4.2 ‘Dryland’ – second edition released.

Since this is a hybrid ISO, you can for example use UNetbootin or imagewriter for putting Netrunner on a USB stick. For 64-bit machines with EFI you may experience a crash during installation when trying to install the bootloader, it is advised to use imagewriter, as it does use another bootloader, which makes the ISO install fine.” See the release announcement and release notes for more information.
