Version 0.3 Recalled

Aalia Wayfare — Thu, 04 Mar 2004 21:36:51 -0500

The bioknoppix team recalled the 0.3 release on the 13th Feb due to problems with their master. They'd been trying to fix problems with jemboss.

They plan to re-release beta version 0.3 sometime next week.

I'm currently test driving it and it's clear that there are problems with the jemboss distribution. i.e. It won't launch...

If anyone intends to download it and jemboss is a key part of their attraction then I'd suggest waiting until the next release. Currently only version 0.2 is available.

They've created a mailing list for those that are interested at http://lists.hpcf.upr.edu/mailman/listinfo/bioknoppix-discuss

I've seen this post in a few places - we'll let you off with our "no advertising rule" as it's free and open source!
I'd imagine this could be a useful tool for places with lots of student PCs that don't want to do Linux installs. Provided there are people in charge of those PCs who have a clue.
