27 <strong>4 November 2009 - New Cooking 20091104</strong>
28 <p>SliTaz contributors are proud to announce the availability of a new Cooking
29 ISO image based on over 2100 packages available in the SliTaz repository.
30 The full system has been rebuilt with a new toolchain using Glibc 2.10.1
31 and GCC 4.4.1. This new Cooking uses the Linux kernel 2.6.30.6 with better
32 hardware support and more built-in modules. The boot process has been further
33 improved and the boot time is now faster than ever. Major packages found on
34 the LiveCD such as Firefox have been updated to the current stable version.
35 Home-made GUI boxes have been enhanced. Tazpkg packages manager supports new
36 features including the conversion of deb/rpm/arch/slackware/ipk packages to
37 Slitaz native format. The ISO image includes a new Openbox, GTK and icons
38 theme for an elegant and more beautiful desktop. We have also removed
39 ePDFview and switched to an online PDF viewer. This ISO image, however,
40 is a bit bigger than 30 Mb (31.5) due to a bigger Kernel and many new
41 dependencies.</p>
42 <p>We would also like to announce that the SliTaz project has a new
43 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">support forum</a> and a new
44 <a href="http://scn.slitaz.org/">community platform</a> where
45 everyone is welcome to share and to get involved! This new Cooking ISO
46 is as always downloadable from the website download section:
