Now that KDE 3.5.9 and a working version of qt-x11-free 3.3.8 are available in Debian sid, we have the pleasure to announce the second public preview of sidux 2008-01 "Νυξ", shipping in a roughly ≈460 MB large kde-lite variant for amd64 and i386 systems. Please note this is not the final release, the full featured final release of "Νυξ" will be ready in about 1-2 weeks, intermediate xdeltas will be provided as needed until then.

What has originally been planned as minor maintenance release with the bumped kernel version as major feature, resulted in much larger changes for sidux 2008-01 "Νυξ". Now we have the pleasure to announce the first public preview of sidux 2008-01, shipping in a roughly ≈460 MB large kde-lite variant for amd64 and i386 systems. Please note this is not the final release, the full featured final release of "Νυξ" will be ready in about 2-3 weeks (depending on the availability of KDE 3.5.9 in Debian sid), intermediate xdeltas will be provided as needed until then.
