Calculate Linux 13.4 released

Released on April 21, 2013

We are proud to announce the final release of Calculate Linux 13.4!

As ever, you are welcome to choose between Calculate Linux Desktop featuring either KDE (CLD) or XFCE (CLDX), Calculate Directory Server (CDS) for server solutions, Calculate Media Center (CMC) should you need any and, last but not least, scratch versions for those preferring minimal installations: Calculate Linux Scratch (CLS) and Calculate Scratch Server (CSS).

Main Changes and Fixes

# UEFI support added on 64bit systems.
# Hibernation is TuxOnIce by default.
# BFQ I/O scheduler supported.
# Optional support for complete kernel removal when removing the calculate-sources package.
# Calculate Utilities can now backup configuration files (Gentoo compatible); we’ve also added a module that handles modifications, like dispatch-conf always did. It comes both in a console and a GUI version.
# The installer provides more advanced autopartitioning options.
# The new naming convention for network interfaces has been applied.
# Network Linux clients should now boot faster when the network is down.
# Added synchronization profiles of domain users on reboot or power off.
# The IRC client in CLDG and CLDX will be HexChat instead of XChat.
# CLD now uses GParted as the GUI partition manager.
# GNOME3 is no longer supported, as CLDG now features GNOME 2. We’ll not be supporting Gnome in next versions.
