Bernhard Rosenkraenzer has announced the release of Ark
Linux 2008.1, an easy-to-use desktop
Linux distribution with KDE and a selection of highly up-to-date applications: "The Ark
Linux team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Ark
Linux 2008.1, a new version of its easy-to-use, easy-to-learn operating system. Contrary to our original plan for this release, we have decided to
make one more release based on KDE 3.x, to provide a stable state-of-art system that fixes all known problems with earlier versions before the big move to KDE 4.x. Major changes from the last release include updates to KDE 3.5.9, kernel 2.6.25.3, glibc 2.8 and
wine 1.0-rc1, building everything with GCC 4.3 for improved performance, greatly extended hardware support, and the addition of Gnash, a free player for Flash animations." Here is the brief
release announcement.
