Korona 0.0.2 available: KDE4.3/OpenSolaris 2009/06


The live DVD image of KDE4.3/OpenSolaris is available at http://www.genunix.org/ [2GB]

Direct link: http://www.genunix.org/dist/korona/Korona-0.0.2.iso

In addition to the standard OpenSolaris CD content*, Korona** comes with an almost complete KDE environment – 22 KDE packages plus localization to 57 languages and 38 supporting packages AND Konversation (no Amarok though, the recent versions don’t build correctly). The live DVD boots right into a KDE session.

There was next to zero testing and some things are known to crash, but overall it’s quite stable and there is at least one person already running it as his regular desktop (not me).
Bug reports with patches are welcome; without them not so much as we’re still concentrating on making some packages buildable.

The best places for queries are at
