This is the 2nd alpha testing release (0.2) of The Lunduke Computer Operating System (LCOS).
The primary focus on this 0.2 release has been three key areas:
a) Improving the build system to have a stable base going forward.
b) Replacing the installer with one that is more reliable and easier to use.
c) Trim down the size of the system.
While there is still a lot of work to be done before 1.0, this 0.2 release made huge strides in those key areas.
Some Noteworthy Changes in 0.2:
- Moved to a new (more reliable) installer.
- Reduced ISO file size significantly (600MB smaller).
- Added: Zork I, I, & III
- Added: Micropolis (open source SimCity), & AisleRiot Solitare
- Added: Word Processor (AbiWord) & Spreadsheet (GNUmeric)
Known Issues:
- LCOS is currently using an older release of the XLibre X11 server. This will be fixed in the 0.3 release.
- No upgrade path from 0.1 to 0.2 (or 0.2 to 0.3). Seamless updates between point versions will arrive before "Beta" releases.
- The installer is not final, as such artwork and text will change.
Warning: LCOS 0.2 is very much an Alpha release and is primarily for testing purposes.
