As reported more than three weeks ago, CollegeLinux 2.5 is back: "As we started to be one of the first distribution aimed to give you a truly learning experience, once again we have tried to give you something more. Not yet another distro. Not yet another live Linux. But a live server! That's right, a server that you can bring with you anywhere you go, and soon with the possibility to save your site pages and details on a CollegeLinux.org account. CollegeLinux Live Server is a Debian Linux based Live CD. As soon as you start, it is a fully capable PHP5, Perl and Ruby webserver, preloaded with GEdit and Vim for editing scripts with syntax highlighting." See the project's homepage for more. Download (MD5): cl_liveserver-20060718.iso (131MB).

MadPenguin reviews the latest version of CollegeLinux: "When I was given the assignment to review CollegeLinux by Mad Penguin, I took the CD down, dusted it off, and grinded my way through the difficulties of the install. The install was terrible; worse than most I have seen, despite its apparent simplicity. However, I cannot remember a distribution that was more worth the time. CollegeLinux is fast, stable, looks good, and comes with automatically configured tools for most of my usual tasks. While CollegeLinux obviously needs a lot of work on the installer, it is a very useful distribution and one I will be keeping an eye on for future review at Mad Penguin."

NEW • A Personal Review: CollegeLinux 2.5 |

In response to the somewhat superficial short review of CollegeLinux 2.5 published yesterday by OSNews, here comes a more comprehensive review as posted by a CollegeLinux user on the distribution's forums: "[CollegeLinux 2.5] Obi-Wan is packed full of features from the box, but it can also do a lot more. I have added Slackware packages to it, compiled new files from source and installed programs off the web, and for the most part without pain. It's fast, it's stable and it's free. The team at CollegeLinux have issued another diamond. Don't be afraid to give it a good polishing." Read the full review here.

OSNews has published a brief review of CollegeLinux 2.5 released last week: "Overall, CollegeLinux is a pretty good starting point. However, I expect that most people who use it will need to download and install quite a bit of additional software before they would be satisfied it." Read the full review here. On a related note, CollegeLinux has announced that its latest product supports installation of 41 KDE language packs with a single click: "Via our slapt-get powered CL package manager you can now choose among 41 languages for KDE (37 for KOffice) and install them with one click." Find out more on the CollegeLinux web site.

The long awaited CollegeLinux 2.5 has been released: "We are glad to announce the long awaited release of CollegeLinux 2.5 'Obi Wan'. Once again we did a release taking the necessary 6 months to bring something new, exclusive and never seen within the Linux community. Whilst there is a growing trend to release as often as possible, we have chosen to implement some important and innovative features and release only when there is something worth your time and bandwidth." Among the more interesting new features are a server robot which automatically installs and configures Apache, PHP, MySQL, SQLite, Webmin and PHPMyAdmin, and a slapt-get based auto-update engine integrated into Konqueror. See the full announcement for details. Download: cl_v2.5_23_12_2003__13_06_52.iso (601MB). CollegeLinux is a Slackware-compatible Linux distribution designed for desktop and development workstations with many user-friendly enhancements.

NewsForge looks at the latest release from CollegeLinux: "In an era when mature Linux distributions abound, do you need a special one just for college? Robert Kennedy College in Delémont, Switzerland, thinks so. This institution allows its students to learn entirely via the Internet, so the computer tools at the student's disposal are critical to the success of both the learner and the college itself. The school's CollegeLinux 2.3, a single-CD Linux distribution, is a power tool for educational organizations." Read the rest of the review here.

NEW • Distribution Release: CollegeLinux 2.3 |
Rate this project
|
A new CollegeLinux release, version 2.3 and code name "Darth Vader" is out: "Some new interesting features, certainly worth a try. Main changes: improved installer (fixed the lilo issues, added error checking etc.); USB hotplug, PCMCIA hotplug (plug/unplug devices for immediate recognition); file sharing via edonkey pre-configured; flash plugin gone (sorry, this will have to be installed manually due to the Macromedia license which does not consider Linux an authorised OS). Is it worth upgrading? Certainly yes. The USB hotplug is a major feature and so is the file sharing." See the rest of the release announcement. Download: cl_v2.3_09_05_2003__05_56_18.iso (640MB).

OSNews interviews Professor David Costa regarding their initiative behind CollegeLinux: "The next release will bring some interesting surprises. While Dropline GNOME is already working fine on CollegeLinux 2.1, 'The Jedi', we are trying to go a mile further with a perfect integration which will allow our users to keep their packages constantly updated. In this way students will benefit from a stable and complete OS constantly updated with a click. We are also fixing some of the problems with the installer (which was created from scratch) and we take into serious account all the installation problems reported by CollegeLinux users."

CollegeLinux 2.1, code name "Jedi", has been released. What's new? "New Kernel 2.4.20; installer duly improved with error checking and supporting different hard disks, multiple linux/windows partitions and multi boot + auto scan of your hard drives (while we are a slack-based distribution the installer has been builded from scratch, not another clone); desktop managers: KDE 3.1.1 (yeah, not just 3.1, but the latest), Xfce 3.8.18 and blackbox; printers working 100% fine with CUPS; USB problems which affected some keyboards and mouse solved; Mozilla 1.3; Flash/Java enabled in both Konqueror and Mozilla..." Read all the details here. Only one mirror is available at the moment, so downloads are slow and hard, but check the distribution's download page as more mirrors might be added. The download link: cl_28032003_193833.iso (642MB).

NEW • CollegeLinux: Learning the Linux Way |
Rate this project

So who is behind CollegeLinux, the new Slackware-based desktop Linux distribution (which might sound like a contradiction in terms to some people)? DesktopLinux talks to Professor David Costa, Dean of Robert Kennedy College (RKC) in Switzerland: "Slackware is -- in my opinion -- one of the best distros in terms of stability and structure. I don't think that another Red Hat-based distribution can add something relevant to the original base. We wanted to have a user friendly environment but also a learning experience for the user, being himself a student or not. Furthermore, I think that Slackware package system is much more reliable them 'rpm'." Read the rest of the interview here and give CollegeLinux a a try - it's available as a free download.
