About this, I also would like to know if there are plans for a final version.
We are currently working on an rc6 release and there was an rc5>rc6 delta and md5sum in the repo but was for testing. It shouldn't have been in the ISO folder and has been removed.

Yes, there are plans for a final version.

Saluki is an old breed but the ancient Egyptians liked the Berem. In N America, the wolverine lineage might need to await the archeological controversies about their oldest inhabitants - in the sapiens line, that is (rather more is presently known about the sauropds).

Carolina-007rc6 has been released. A few apps have been added and some have been updated, most notably LibreOffice, Firefox and Thunderbird.

Barring any bugs, this will be the final release.

The non-pae delta will be release shortly.

Change log and download link are in the first post.

The blue links announcing the release are for the ISO's and delta's. The green links for each rc are for the forum post.

Feeback of lina-007rc4-non-pae

Great, area of improvements:

* Update needed on obsolete ffmpeg 0.8x to 2.0, so as to support additional codecs such as playing wma files (need file association).

* update of LibreOffice 4.0.x to latest(4.0.4 or upcoming 4.0.5), as several hundred of bug fixes.

* Wish Skype is already installed.

* Update Thunar 1.4 to 1.6.3

* Any reason not to update Clementine from 1.0 to 1.1?

Finally and mostly, I experience lost of Wireless connection and can't sucessful reconnect without reboot, which is uttermost annoyand, but other recent puppies, suffer the same.

Thanks.

Update Thunar 1.4 to 1.6.3
Be careful about upgrading Thunar!

I have been using Porteus XFCE recently and I find
Thunar buggy and slow.

I agree Don, it's quite usable as is, 1.6.3 don't play well with volume-monitor, doubles up on drives when mounted, we did try it and opted to leave it be, if you have lots of drives mounted it gets messy.

The green rc6 link is supposed to link here. All the green links, rc6, rc5 etc..., link to the release announcement in the Carolina thread.

The blue links at the top of the first post go to the repo to download ISO's or delta's.

Ah! My misunderstanding. I guess I expect coloured text to link to the subject, not a redirect to Forum discussion and announcements. At the time I first raised my comment I couldn't find the .iso only the deltae. I use CD-RW and successively overwrite them rather than mess about with file updating, although I do recognise the value of them to DUN users and mobile/tab users with mean ISP d/l limits!

Got the PAE version running liveCD - extremely good.
Stable after pfix=ram,nox, but earlier default boot up, which seemed to be OK crashed when I tried to load the Control Panel, requiring a full, hard reset ie PSU off; very odd as my HW responds OK to almost everything else. Can't rule out an isolated occurrence.

Later: spoke too soon - it crashed during a return from screensaver/sleep. Will check on other HW.

Another day: seems to have been an HW issue - Radeon card +' unusual' stick of 1Gb. Everything OK now. Great release.

Nice Point upgrade

Having a pleasant summer in Portland Oregon, US.

I dnld the Delta the other day. This 7rc6 is very interesting. In truth, I'm swinging towards Pemasu's Upup 3.9.9 because of the kernel newness :D ( + i like JWM).

Hi,

I was a user of Saluki until bought this new laptop Acer Aspire One D270 (GMA3600) it had no sound there (I couldn't remember about its WiFi). Any chance you know if the problem persist here with Carolina?

Also any chance that you will update the Kernel in any near time?

Thanks.

@ Sage

Glad you found the link. Strange, I've never had Carolina crash on me.

@ dennis-slacko531

Thanks for the link at your web site.

@ rasul

The Carolina kernel is a bit newer than Saluki but not by much. Your sound probably won't work, but there's only one way to find out.

The kernel will not be updated. Development will be stopping when Carolina 1.0 is released, which is very soon.

Quick test.

All looked really nice. Booted to horrible resolution, but after xorgwizard, got 1920x1080 which looked nice. But small on a regular monitor (as always)

Played a song on clementine (flac) then clicked on a video at the same time, no sound from video. Stopped Clementine, still no sound. Exited Clementine and restarted video and sound started.

Reminded me of ubuntu 7.04. It did that.

Since Carolina-1.0 will be released soon, I've decided not to do an rc6 non-pae, and just do a 1.0 version.

Fantastic news. I like the 'harpup' entree - used it twenty years ago with you-know-what!
