Released on July 28, 2012
You are welcome to choose between several flavours: Calculate Directory Server (CDS) if you need a server option; Calculate Linux Desktop featuring a KDE (CLD), GNOME (CLDG) or XFCE (CLDX) desktop; Calculate Media Center (CMC) if a media center is what you want; or, if you would rather prefer a scratch distribution, either Calculate Linux Scratch (CLS) or Calculate Scratch Server (CSS).
Major Changes
- A major change: Calculate Utilities 3 are now used to install and set up your system. What does it mean, exactly?
- Network client-server solutions via SOAP/WSDL are supported.
- Both console and graphical interfaces are implemented.
- Multiple installation is supported: that is, you can install CL on several storage media at once, locally as well as remotely.
- System settings can now be configured either from the command line with cl-setup-boot,
cl-setup-locale
,cl-setup-network
,cl-setup-system
,cl-setup-video
, or in a graphical environment.
- Network client-server solutions via SOAP/WSDL are supported.
- Calculate Linux Desktop XFCE has a better appearance:
- The new Adwaita theme.
- A bigger menu.
- Somewhat better response.
- Geeqie comes by default as the image viewer.
