We could fly at one time...
We just forgot about it....
But we will remember...
We MUST remember!

And I'm doing my best trying to remember how to fly...

NEWS Blog - current status of the LiveCD development.
Welcome to leave your comments there!



Let me present you the release of SOAD Linux. SOAD is an abbreviation from 'SuSE On Active Diet'. It's based on the latest OpenSUSE and aimed to deliver current svn code of Enlightenment-DR17 and Enlightenment-DR16 to the audience. Tried to demonstrate that OpenSUSE could be 'slim and fast'. There's no need to run KDE/Gnome/Xfce or any other 'resource hungry monster'. Current size of LiveCD .iso is limited to approx 700Mb. Hope you'll be surprized to discover what is included into this release. Please note however that you must accept the licence from Novell to use this product. Find a 'licence.tar.gz' file in the root ( / ) directory. The content of this LiveCD include some packages from 'Packman' repository and (optional) Adobe's 'Flash' browser Plugin with a standalone flash player application. OpenOffice suite and other tiny utilities has been selected as well. We HIGHLY recommended to build NVIDIA/ATI propietary drivers from official sources.

This LiveCD works nice in 'qemu' or any other VM.

Installer to the hard drive could be started in 'ncurses' and 'GUI' modes (/sbin/yast live-installer). It's placed as a link in menus, on Your Desktop and inside Enlightenment-DR17 'Settings Panel'.

openSUSE Users are encouraged to visit:
* our Wiki Page
* and Enlightenment Thread in the openSUSE forums
