Everyone who has installed those drivers by hand may safely remove them now.

For those who used the "nv" driver and whish to make use of the 3D hardware acceleration may replace that with "nvidia" (in /etc/xorg.conf). The paldo Xorg script will automatically link in the correct OpenGL implementation.

paldo 1.1 has been released with many bug fixes, package updates and the fully modular initramfs kernel.

All our kernels make use of special initramfs capabilities but our unstable branch had a kernel which used initramfs in a new way: Everything but kernel capabilities is now built as module (apart from very few troubling drivers). This means that you should be able to boot paldo from any device and file system linux supports. This method obsoletes also the old fashioned "cold-plugging" of devices. The whole device driver loading procedure is now truly event based. As long as there are enough drivers inside initramfs there is virtually no need to build a customized kernel. Fire up paldo with this kernel build and check lsmod

This kernel was now moved to testing! Please do as many tests as possible.

Finally, after months of hard work, we finished paldo 1.0. Go and install this fresh and new Linux distribution!
