Two years later

Hi all! It’s been more than two years since the last post.Some of you may have thought the project was dead. Well, it was in fact suspended.There are multiple reasons, the top one being the lack of time to properly follow the project. It takes a while to build and mantain the releases and the process is not error-free at all (rather, quite the opposite). Furthermore, for some time the...

March release 2010 – Happy birthday!

Hi all! The new release is finally out! It features kernel 2.6.33.1 + glibc 2.11-r1. All the “suspended” drivers were reintegrated as the latest versions would compile cleanly.

Also, some sections have been reorganized (look, font size) and the overlay section has been completed. I’m currently working on the new release. My will was to update python+portage to the latest version (2.5.2-rX + 2.2_rcY) but...
