83 <li><strong>4 November 2009 - New Cooking 20091104</strong>
84 <p>SliTaz contributors are proud to announce the availability of a new Cooking
85 ISO image based on over 2100 packages available in the SliTaz repository.
86 The full system has been rebuilt with a new toolchain using Glibc 2.10.1
87 and GCC 4.4.1. This new Cooking uses the Linux kernel 2.6.30.6 with better
88 hardware support and more built-in modules. The boot process has been further
89 improved and the boot time is now faster than ever. Major packages found on
90 the LiveCD such as Firefox have been updated to the current stable version.
91 Home-made GUI boxes have been enhanced. Tazpkg packages manager supports new
92 features including the conversion of deb/rpm/arch/slackware/ipk packages to
93 Slitaz native format. The ISO image includes a new Openbox, GTK and icons
94 theme for an elegant and more beautiful desktop. We have also removed
95 ePDFview and switched to an online PDF viewer. This ISO image, however,
96 is a bit bigger than 30 Mb (31.5) due to a bigger Kernel and many new
97 dependencies.</p>
98 <p>We would also like to announce that the SliTaz project has a new
99 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">support forum</a> and a new
100 <a href="http://scn.slitaz.org/">community platform</a> where
101 everyone is welcome to share and to get involved! This new Cooking ISO
102 is as always downloadable from the website download section:

106 <li><strong>19 May 2009 - SliTaz at LinuxDays 2009 (Geneva)</strong>
107 <p>
108 During the LinuxDays show in Switzerland, the association will have a
109 booth in the Association Village and a lecture will be given on Wednesday
110 morning. The lecture is a case study with a corporate view based on using a
111 "SliTaz Business Server" with a switchboard, integrated ERP, mail, LDAP,
112 etc...
113 </p>
114 <p>
115 During the 3 days, the exhibition stand will be manned by members
116 of the SliTaz project. The booth will offer demonstrations, including the
117 creation of bootable USB keys (LiveUSB) and cdroms. The LinuxDays LiveCD
118 will contain a selection of software designed for mobile
119 use. The exhibition lounge will also have a forum and we will gladly answer
120 any questions. So feel free to visit us! Information can be found on
121 <a href="http://labs.slitaz.org/wiki/events/2009-linuxdays">SliTaz Labs</a>
122 and the <a href="http://2009.linuxdays.ch/">2009.linuxdays.ch</a> website.

126 <li><strong>16 April 2009 - SliTaz GNU/Linux 2.0 release</strong>
127 <p>
128 The SliTaz project are proud to announce the release of the new stable
129 version of the distribution - SliTaz GNU/Linux 2.0. This new version is the
130 result of one year of community work and provides an ultra lightweight, fast,
131 scalable and stable operating system. SliTaz provides a complete graphical
132 desktop in less than 30MB, applications required for a reliable and robust
133 server environment and 1400 easily installable software packages in a few
134 clicks of the mouse. This new version offers the automounting of partitions
135 (NTFS compliant), wifi support, an office respecting the Freedesktop.org
136 standards (drag and drop), network booting with gPXE and
137 <a href="http://boot.slitaz.org/">boot.slitaz.org</a>, automatic detection
138 of USB and PCI devices, a GUI package manager and control center, and various
139 graphical tools to manage the distribution. The creation of USB media and
140 bootable LiveCD flavors is also simplified and greatly improved. The core
141 LiveCD includes Firefox 3.0.8, gFTP, LostIRC, ePDFView, mtPaint, Transmission,
142 Osmo and Alsaplayer. The website documentation has been updated and you can read the
143 <a href="../doc/releases/2.0/relnotes.en.html">release notes</a> included in
144 the distribution for more details on this stable version. SliTaz GNU/Linux
145 2.0 is now <a href="../get/index.html">downloadable</a> from the official mirrors of
146 the project.
147 </p></li>
149 <li><strong>27 March 2009 - Labs and new mirrors</strong><br />
150 Continually seeking to improve the distribution and the services we offer,
151 we are proud to announce the launch of <a href="http://labs.slitaz.org/">SliTaz Labs</a>.
152 This platform makes it possible for contributors to collaborate more
153 effectively, report bugs or request new features. The Labs provide each
154 <a href="http://labs.slitaz.org/projects">project</a> with a wiki, a
155 bug/issues tracker, <a href="http://labs.slitaz.org/news">news</a>, etc.
156 The laboratories provide an overview of activity on the project and
157 track the release of regular updates. Register to participate and
158 leave a comment. The project is also proud to announce 2 new mirrors:
159 In Switzerland, hosted by <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/">SWITCHmirror</a>

182 Tazndis also has a simple GUI which lets you manage Windows drivers in a
183 user friendly interface. The graphical packages manager is also much simpler
184 to use and LiveUSB media such as a USB key can easily be created through a box.
