====== CDlinux 0.9.6 released ======

This release is a major upgrade. Almost all components are upgraded to their latest stable version, like Linux-2.6.33.2, Xorg-server-1.8.0, Mesa-7.8.1.

Thanks to the open source ATi and Intel drivers, when now have farely good 2D/3D support on almost all ATi and Intel chip based video cards. PAE is also enabled in this release. As a result, we can support up to 64G RAM now. While the downside is that you can't run CDlinux 0.9.6 on older CPUs (5x86, K6, Pentium, etc.) anymore, even the mini edition.

    * linux-2.6.33.2
    * xorg-server-1.8.0
    * mesa-7.8.1
    * gtk+-2.18.9
    * qt-4.6.2
    * jre-6u19
    * firefox-3.6.3
    * gparted-0.5.2
    * goffice-0.8.1
