I'm taking a little summer break. Development on PCLinuxOS has slowed to a trickle, we rely pretty heavily on a rapid development of PCLinuxOS to continue. There's things like a new draktools that supports enterprise wpa and password user connections that I was relying on for our future releases. There's also new additions to the 2.6.26 kernel that would help dramatically. I have confidence that developement will pick back up and whenever PCLinuxOS decides to release a 2008 version we'll soon have something else out. More and more though our efforts are being taken off the hardware aspect of the EeePC. It won't be long until we'll no longer be needed as most of our changes have been sent up stream. There will still be some cutting edge programs and methods that I hope to continue to develop and keep EeePCLinuxOS alive. Right now though I don't have the time or resources for another release. My primary focus lately has been to get issues fixed upstream (in PCLinuxOS) and help out where I can. There seems to be a shortage of staff and Tex is taking on a pretty heavy work load. Thought I would just give everyone a status. No we're not dead just taking a summer hibernation. |

The latest 2.6.26 kernel now offers EeePC-ACPI support by default. Before the Asus_ACPI module had to be patched and offered through external means if you didn't want to create a kernel that was specific to the EeePC and have ACPI support for the EeePC. This new module cleans up the existing module from ASUS and offers hotkeys, the ablity to disable and enable wireless, webcam and the cardreader, dim the lcd screen and control the fan speed. Look for the 2.6.26 and higher kernels in future release of EeePCLinuxOS. |

 This image is brought to you by creator of UnetBootIn. Out of the blue the creator decided to help out out and spruce up my lowly hacked version of UnetBootin-EeePCLOS. Very very nice. If you see him around the community whether it be on an Ubuntu forum or what have you, say thanks. This is one of the many reasons OpenSource is so much more fun then anything else out there. Epspecially when there's great people behind it.
You can get this latest version on the Download page. Thanks again! |

 It is my pleasure to announce a new USB Install Key creator for EeePCLinuxOS. For some of you more experienced Linux/Windows users it may look familiar. That is because this new installer is based off of UNetBootin. We've shortened the installable Linux LiveCD list down to just us and disabled Floppy capabilities. Overall though should hopefully offer a better experience for our Windows users. I would like to thank Wingers for his previous work on the installer this one replaces and for bringing up the fact that we needed a Windows installer in the first place. For the Beta3-1 release this has become the main install method for Windows users as the LiveCD installation method suffered when the PCLinuxOS MKLiveCD package got updated. Hopefully with the next release that too will be fixed and our users can select from many different install methods as they have need. You can find out more information about our version of UNetBootin and UNetBootin in general by visiting the Download page. That's the same place (obviously) to download this new edition also. Thank you all for your added testing, feedback and support.
