NEWS 160207 about Exton|OS Light Live DVD ISO file of 912 MB
Ive made a new extra version of Exton|OS based on upcoming Ubuntu 16.04 (alias Xenial Xerus) 64 bit with only a minimum of packages pre-installed. Among them a terminal emulator (LXTerminal), a Web Browser (Google Chrome so you can run Netflix), PCManFM (file manager), NetworkManager, GParted (Partition Editor), Samba (so you can reach your Windows computers) and Synaptic (Package Manager). I give you the pleasure of installing all extra packages you need after a hard disk installation of Exton|OS Light. Use Synaptic for that. You can of course also install new packages while running the system live (from DVD/USB stick), but nothing will be saved after a reboot. Unless you have followed my USB Install Instruction (under B) or used UNetbootin) and used Boot alternative 2 Persistent when you have used UNetbootin. If you have plenty of RAM you can even install big programs (such as LibreOffice) while running the system live even from DVD. Exton|OS Lights Window manager Openbox guarantees lightness and elegance.
ABOUT
Exton|OS Light Live CD is based on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus 64 bit and Debian Stretch/Sid. Exton|OS Lights ISO file (of 911 MB!) is a ISO-hybrid, which means that it can very easily be transferred (copied) to an USB pen drive. You can then even run Exton|OS from the USB stick and save all your system changes on the stick. I.e. you will enjoy persistence! Read my USB INSTRUCTION under B).
Used KERNEL
My special kernel 4.4.0-3-exton, equivalent to Kernel.orgs latest stable kernel 4.4.1. You can download my kernel if you want to use it in another Ubuntu/Debian system.
THE IMPORTANCE of Exton|OS Light now being based on Ubuntu 16.04 (UNSTABLE/DEVELOPMENT)
I dont think it is too important since Exton|OS doesnt use complicated Desktop Environments like KDE, Gnome or Unity. Programs wont crash or anything like that. And I havent discovered any bugs to report.
