Yet another beta! Changes in 1.8.1 Fixed bug in 1.8.0 which defaulted to "nl" (Dutch) instead of "us" during boot (Live CD). Changes in a nutshell (1.8.0): + Updated kernel 2.6.28 * New module powernow-nx + Updated Firefox. + Default keymap for Dutch is now "US". + LiveUSB with options toram and myconfig=usb works now. + Nautilus script TextEdit: Yes/No Buttons instead of Cancel/OK. + Grub background now available for isolinux CD. + Infamous "i810" and "trident" bug in Xorg fixed. + CPU frequency scaling should work now with Intel (Centrino/Speedstep/...) too. + Added firmware for Broadcom 43xx wireless chips.

I was very impressed with Debris Linux 1.7.0 beta so I expect this one will be quite good. They've stripped Ubuntu 8.04 LTS down to an 850MB cruft-free install. Just add what you need. A full GNOME desktop in a system that fits on a mini CD-ROM (~180MB) live CD is impressive in its own right.

Version 1.8.2 is out already with a few addition fixes.
