Stefan Lippers-Hollmann has announced the availability of the first preview release of sidux 2009-02, a desktop-oriented distribution based on Debian’s unstable branch: “We have the pleasure to announce the availability of the first preview for sidux 2009-02 ‘Aether’, shipping with kernel 2.6.30. ‘Aether’ mostly concentrates on integrating KDE 4 into sidux and implementing the changes caused by kernel 2.6.30. While KDE 4 is certainly a work in progress, both upstream and in terms of making it viable for a release, this marks the first milestone release for sidux. Be aware that the KDE-lite flavours avoid KDE 3 and Qt 3 packages, which means that K3b, Kaffeine and UMTSmon are not installed. These packages will be part of the KDE-full flavours and are still installable.” Read the detailed release notes to learn more about all the changes in this release.
