About:
Desktop ROCK Linux is a source distribution based upon the distribution
build kit ROCK Linux. It is released with an automatic build system as
well as prebuilt ISO images. It inherits the state-of-the-art tool chain
from ROCK Linux and also includes the latest KDE and GNOME releases and
many other packages. The build system allows optimized rebuilds of single
packages or the whole ISO.
Changes:
This release added many package security fixes and updates, including
Linux 2.4.21+ACPI and 2.6.0-test1,and the latest XFree86, Mozilla, and
GNOME. Some new packages were included for Bluetooth, Sony laptops, MIPS
adaptations, the Epiphany browser, Galeon 2, along with many more. Some
bugs with Memtest86 with gcc3, non-x86 architectures, and ROCK Plug were
fixed. A new scripts/Emege-Pkg tool was included to build a package
including its dependencies on a running system.
