A user-friendly desktop distribution software called Hedinux, previously known as Octoz, has been created with an independent approach. Its primary goal is ease-of-use.
The fundamental goal of Hedinux GNU/Linux is to create an operating system accessible to all users, whether they are computer-savvy or not. For this reason, Hedinux will come in two editions: one for Linux beginners with an intuitive graphical installer and easy system administration tools, while the other, named "from source", is designed as a modular system with binary packages built by the user directly from source code.
Inspired by the Linux From Scratch and Beyond Linux From Scratch books, Hedinux GNU/Linux has been updated significantly in its latest release. The new update, which includes GNOME 2.14, Xorg 6.9 with the vesa driver by default, and updates to kernel 2.6.15.6, spcaxx 20060301, unionfs 1.1.3, squashfs3.0, among other updates.
Bugs in the previous versions have been fixed in this release, including the sshd startup, foomatic-db-engine dep for gimp-print, and the GNOME icon suitably replaced by the Hedinux icon for the GNOME menu. Additionally, hedinux-installer has been updated with new features, including alphabetical order keyboard, verbose packages copy, and network configuration before the installation.
Finally, GRUB installation on MBR/root/floppy is now available in Hedinux GNU/Linux, and the system allows for a hedinux-netcardconfig icon in the Desktop->Administration GNOME menu for network configuration after installation.
