Porteus 3.0 RC2 發布
Porteus是一份快捷的、便于攜帶的、模塊化的自啟動運行光盤及USB介質發行,它基于Slackware Linux。該發行始于一份Slax的社區改造版本(另一份基于Slackware的自啟動光盤,但已不再維護),以KDE 3作為i486版本的缺省桌面,并以裁減過的KDE 4作為x86_64版本的桌面環境。此外還提供輕量級的LXDE可作為替代桌面環境。

Jay Flood has announced that the second release candidate for Porteus 3.0, a set of minimalist, Slackware-based live CDs with a choice of KDE, LXDE, MATE, Razor-qt or Xfce desktops, is ready for testing: " The Porteus community is pleased to announce Porteus 3.0 RC2 (Standard Desktop edition), as well as Porteus Kiosk edition 3.0 RC2. This is the penultimate release pending the release of 3.0 final. We've put together pre-packaged modules for Google Chrome, Opera, LibreOffice, AbiWord and printing/scanning software, which can be dropped in place to get out-of-the-box functionality. Please note that the 'Development' module will now need to be downloaded as a standalone module if you wish to compile additional software in Porteus."
