NEW • Development Release: Red Flag Linux 7.0 Preview |
| With the 2008 Olympic Games now in full swing in Beijing, China's most prominent Linux vendor, Red Flag, has announced the availability of a special "Olympic" edition of Red Flag Linux. This is a preview of the upcoming stable release 7.0. The product is an installable live CD that boots into a customised KDE 4.1 desktop featuring an Olympic theme. It includes a (beta) migration wizard allowing import of passwords, settings and data from a Windows partition. Among the main components, this release comes with Linux kernel 2.6.25, glibc 2.8, GCC 4.3.1, xorg-server 1.4.99, Qt 4.4.0, Firefox 3.0 and Wine 1.0. The announcement also mentions a few known issues regarding certain audio drivers and Intel graphics cards; these should be corrected in the next release. More details and download links are available in the release announcement (in Chinese). Interested testers can get the live CD image from here: olympic7.iso (665MB, MD5). The system supports both the simplified and the traditional variants of Chinese, as well as English. |
