Development Release: RR4 Linux 3.0 Beta 0 XGL Edition released

[Haven]

Those of you using linux (or wanting to) could do a lot worse than grabbing the latest copy of RR4 (a live DVD distro based on heavily optimised gentoo). Basically you boot from DVD and have everything that you would expect in a full install of gentoo sat there ready to be run. This distro also includes all the lovely new XGL (3d desktop) stuff which is good for those of you with NVIDIA cards but not so great for us ATI peeps (damn shitty ati drivers).

I've been using RR3 for a long time now and so I'm grabbing this as I type. Further details and a torrent link below:

I'm dumping a load of serenity's bandwidth into helping seed so nows the ime to grab it if you want it.

Hmmmm 3D Desktop you say? Might give that a try...

Fantastic. I'll be getting a copy of this, methinks...

Having just had all my paritions deleted on my primary drive by a very nasty application I can attest to the usefulness of DVD's like this. I wouldn't be typing this if I didn't have one kicking around for emergency purposes *sighs*. Just got to fix my grub boot loader and all should be well once more.

Right, I'm going to be putting in bandwidth from serenity for today and possibly through to tomorrow morning and then serenity will no longer be seeding so start downloading it today if you want it! That should mean we've put in about 50GB of mirroring which always helps

If there are any other "legal" torrents that you ever think we should support with some bandwidth then come talk to me and I'll help out where appropriate.

"legal" torrents

Those tend to be hard to find

plenty around in the linux world - not so many in the microshite one though.
