Stefan Lippers-Hollmann has announced the release of sidux 2008-03, a desktop distribution based on Debian's unstable branch: "Later than planned (due to a hard-to-find bug in VirtualBox), we now have the pleasure to announce the immediate availability of the sidux 2008-03 'Ourea' release. It concentrates on integrating the changes caused by kernel 2.6.26, and on the post-install experience - by propagating the default user profile to new users as well. As a welcome side effect, hardware for common netbooks and newer chipsets is now supported. Furthermore, a large number of individual functionality enhancements and bug fixes have been applied to the full package line. A new feature in 'Ourea' is the ability to select languages other than German or US English from the GRUB menu." Read the detailed release notes for more information.
