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.
  • 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.
  • Gimp was updated to v2.8 and has now a one-window interface by default.
