- added support for the open source 'nouveau' video driver for system

other graphic drivers
 
The downloadable media are:
- livedvd: complete and recommended for most installations, kernel for
4GB+ RAM systems can be selected at boot
- livecd: base system release limited to fit into a CD, the
installation of the additional components in the livedvd version can
be made after installation through a network connection
- livecd-gnome: GNOME desktop environment version for CD medium.
Additional components can be installed from network after the
installation. The system is stable and usable but the work on GNOME
desktop is still in progress and any problem seen and reported will be
rapidly fixed through system updates
- livecd-light: light version for optimized server installations and
old for hardware with limited resources
- sdk: ARM EABI compatible root filesystem with the LXDE graphical
environment. Suitable for the installation on ARM based mobile and
embedded devices
- bootusb: auxiliary archive for booting and installing live media
through a USB storage device.
 
All targets support x86 compatible archs (with the exception of sdk)
and are available in english, italian and spanish languages. The ISO
images can be burnt on CD/DVD media or installed in a USB pendrive and
used to boot a live system and install it.
 
Please note that the livegames target is no longer available as a
stable release but is still available as a weekly development
snapshot.
