A new 64 bit version of exGENT (gentoo) live is ready!

I’ve made a third version of exGENT 2013. Now with LXDE and kernel 3.9.2-gentoo-exton. Version 130521 is for the 64 bit architecture. I’ve kept my two previous versions 20130423 and 20130415 on Sourceforge.net. The old versions are for the 32 bit architecture.

Features
The best thing with exGENT 32bit/64bit (Gentoo) Linux Live DVD/CD is the premier autodetection of hardware and the ability to easily install the systems to hard drive and/or usb pen drive. Installed programs: Four Desktop environments (in version 130423): Cinnamon 1.6.7, Gnome 3.6.3, LXDE and Fluxbox 1.3.5. Other programs: Abiword, SMPlayer, GParted, Firefox, Thunderbird and Wicd. Furthermore compilation tools so that you can install programs from source the Gentoo way. See a complete program LIST (version 130521 and version 130423). Three versions of exGENT is available.

A new version of Exton-Slack 14.0 is ready!

Exton-Slack current is a new remaster of Slackware 14.0/current 64bit. KDE 4.10.3 (released 130507) is used as Desktop Environment. I have compiled the kernel 3.8.7 in the same way that Slackware’s kernel huge is compiled. This means that there are a lot of native support for modern hardware in “my” kernel 3.8.7-exton. Even more than what is available in Slackware’s original kernel huge. This is my third Slackware system for 64bit computers. Furthermore I have installed Grub2, which can be used as boot loader after a hard drive install.

Study the full package LIST.
