[Pardus-announce] Pardus 2008 Release Candidate [RC1]

[Ekin Meroğlu]

Hi,

We're happy to announce Pardus 2008 RC1, the first release candidate for 
upcoming Pardus 2008.

This release includes most of the enhancements planned for the final release 
and can be dowloaded from 

ftp://ftp.pardus.org.tr/pub/pardus/installcd/2008

We would like to remind you that this is not a final version, and should 
not be installed on production machines. We did our best to fix all 
bugs, however should you find one, do not hesitate to enter a report in 
our bug reporting system (http://bugs.pardus.org.tr). Please note that to 
eliminate potential problems, burn the CDs in DAO mode, 16x speed.

Some of the highlights of this release are :

- Updated Pardus specific tools, specially the new Display-Manager tool...

- A new Kernel (2.6.25.5) and GCC (4.3.1)

Besides many bugfixes and updated packages...

Let's remind it one more time - this is a test grade software : though we 
tried to eliminate all the bugs we are aware of, quite possibly there are 
more of them. We would be happy to hear about them in our bugzilla and 
pardus-users email list.
