Release Notes: This release upgrades all application modules and the desktop. There is currently no full ISO for download, so you can only build your own ISO with the bash script.


Release Notes: This release runs on kernel 2.6.31.5. The kernel cheatcode apps (e.g. apps=my_apps) allows a user to place the applications module they want to run on the live CD in the my_apps folder. The cheatcode union (e.g. union=my_desktop) allows a user to place a Gnome module in the my_desktop folder to let the live CD boot on Gnome.


Release Notes: This version comes with kernel 2.6.31. The new kernel makes myrinix boot faster and improves graphic card performance, especialy with Intel graphics.


Release Notes: This version is a total rebuild. it uses the Linux 2.6.30.4 kernel and reorders the boot sequence to start the desktop even faster than before. On average, a hard drive installed version can boot to the LXDE Desktop within 30 seconds, or 50 seconds for KDE4.3.
