Dreamlinux releases v2.2 Multimedia Edition live CD
Jan. 08, 2007

The Dreamlinux project, a Brazilian distribution based on Debian, Knoppix, and Morphix, last week released its v2.2 Multimedia Edition live CD for free download. Dreamlinux boots directly into an XFce desktop, which provides access to a "substantial" collection of desktop applications and a central control panel for system configuration, according to the project.

Among the new features in Dreamlinux 2.2 Multimedia Edition are additional multimedia applications that enable users to open and manipulate many different types of audio and video files, the project team said.

Key new features, according to the team, include:
  • 2.6.18 Linux kernel
  • New upgrade assistant
  • New control panel
  • Addition of the "Easy-Install," which allows installation of non-Debian programs like Google Earth, Picasa, Opera, and others
Standard features include:
  • OpenOffice 2.0.4 office suite
  • Orage personal organizer and calendar
  • Firefox 1.5.0.7 browser
  • Thunderbird 1.5.0.8 email client
  • Evince PDF viewer
  • Scribus desktop publishing
  • GimpShop image manipulation editor
You can download the 701MB iso of DreamLinux 2.2 from the project home page, or from this direct iso download link.
