[ILUG] Updated Celtux Release

[Niall Walsh]

Hi,

it's time for the 2nd celtux release so here is the link thanks to bigbro:

The seemingly simple but most important improvement to celtux is that  
the grub gfxboot issues were fixed, so it's nice and obvious how to  
choose Irish instead at boot.

The improvement that makes me smile the most, which comes from sidux  
and is in their latest release, is having ath5k working with 2.6.26.   
My eee 701s wifi just works with a Free driver, though the performance  
has plenty of room for improvements that are shaping up for 2.6.27 and  
2.6.28.  The aspire one is the same (along with plenty more atheros  
802.11g devices which ath5k is now working with).

celtux uses insserv by default for dependency based booting, this is  
the only appreciable difference (apart from the language support) from  
the 2008-03 sidux release, though it is currently planned for future  
sidux releases.

All the latest packages from debian sid and sidux (as of Saturday  
evening) are also included, the manifest files show you what packages  
and version are installed on each architecture.

The big dvd iso with sources is the full celtux release and it exists  
primarily for ilug, or anyone else, to redistribute by handing out  
DVDs.   The smaller iso's are just to make downloading sane for anyone  
else.  Handing someone a disc including the sources says something  
about what Free Software really means, and complies with the GPL, but  
the smaller images are much handier to download, burn or stick on a  
usb flash stick.
