Following hard on the heels of the meta-manual going 'live',
the sidux Operating System manual in Portuguese-Brazil pt-br goes 'live' with ceti as the translator and maintainer

ceti started to work to translate the manual to Portuguese-br 6 weeks ago, and on his own.and has translated 75% of the manual, which consists of 39 files in total (to date) and if printed would run to 230 +pages per translation,

ceti, considering you had a 2 week vacation in the middle of the translating cycle, you have completed an incredible amount of work in a short time!

All pt-br and also -pt speakers and your country should be very, very impressed and proud of you.

Congratulations on a job done exceedingly well done.

Stand up and take a bow!.

On behalf of the sidux Team

sidux now has more mirrors for better access to the ISOs, kernels and the debian repository. Please use the closest mirror. If anyone can provide additional download mirrors, especially in the south america and the pacific region, it would be appreciated. Please contact us if you're able to provide a mirror capable of enduring heavy volume ISO downloads.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: sidux, as a Linux LIVE-CD, is based on high compression technology, and because of that, special care is needed when burning the ISO image. Only use high quality CD-media [or DVD+RW] and burn in DAO-mode (disk-at-once) and not faster than x8.

The sidux meta-manual is up!


The sidux meta-manual is up and running! It is available in English only at the moment as it has not been translated yet.

The bulk of the meta-manual is due to the vision of zulu9 who also manages the games- and phonetics- meta-packages.

Off the 124 files that make up the meta-manual 100 are due those two meta-packages.areas.

EDIT: Packages are fixed, dist-upgrade works as usual.


Today or tomorrow, depending on your server there will be new kdelibs versions.
These will remove important KDE packages.
So, please do not dist-upgrade until the issue is solved!
For the ones that don't want to wait: put kdelibs4c2a on hold until all packages are in.
