Figure 1.1: End of World
Gentoo Linux is proud to announce the availability of a new LiveDVD to
celebrate the continued collaboration between Gentoo users and developers,
ready to rock the end of the world (or at least mid-winter/Southern Solstice)!
The LiveDVD features a superb list of packages, some of which are listed below.
A special thanks to the Gentoo
Infrastructure Team. Their hard work behind the scenes provide the
resources, services and technology necessary to support the Gentoo Linux
project.
Packages included in this release: Linux Kernel 3.6.8, Xorg 1.12.4,
KDE 4.9.4, Gnome 3.4.2, XFCE 4.10, Fluxbox 1.3.2, Firefox 17.0.1,
LibreOffice 3.6.4.3, Gimp 2.8.2-r1, Blender 2.64a, Amarok 2.6.0,
Mplayer 2.2.0, Chromium 24.0.1312.35
and much more ...
If you want to see if your package is included we have generated both the
x86 package
list, and amd64 package
list.
There is no new FAQ or artwork
the 20121221 release, but you can still get the
12.0 artwork plus
DVD cases and covers for the 12.0 release; and view the 12.1 FAQ (persistence mode
is not available in 20121221).
Special Features:
ZFSOnLinux
Writable file systems using AUFS so you can emerge new packages!
The LiveDVD is available in two flavors: a hybrid x86/x86_64 version, and
an x86_64 multi lib version. The livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-20121221 version
will work on 32-bit x86 or 64-bit x86_64. If your CPU architecture is x86, then
boot with the default gentoo kernel. If your arch is amd64, boot with the
gentoo64 kernel. This means you can boot a 64-bit kernel and install a
customized 64-bit user land while using the provided 32-bit user land. The
livedvd-amd64-multilib-20121221 version is for x86_64 only.
If you are ready to check it out, let our bouncer direct you to the closest
x86
image or amd64
image file.
