Artikelbeschreibung:
GoboLinux wird von einer Live CD installiert, die auch allein lauffähig ist und ein vollständiges Desktop-System samt KDE und OpenOffice.org enthält. Dank der eigenwilligen Verzeichnisstruktur können Applikationen direkt von der CD genutzt oder in ein Verzeichnis auf der Festplatte kopiert werden.
Changes since GoboLinux 012
UnionFS-based Live CD
The entire Live CD environment is now writable, by layering a RAM-disk on top of the root directory. This way, not only settings can be edited, but even packages can be downloaded from the net and installed directly on the Live CD environment.
Modular SquashFS
The GoboLinux LiveCD is now built as a series of SquashFS images which are merged using UnionFS. This brings greater flexibility when customizing the CD, as packages from the base system can be easily separated from desktop applications, and additional SquashFS can be added or replaced with ease.
Enhancements in management scripts
The new versions of the GoboLinux management scripts include a large number of new features, including support for package signatures, automated management of configuration upgrades, and a new dependencies format.
Built using ChrootCompile
Virtually all packages (with the notable exceptions of OpenOffice.org, Firefox and Thunderbird, which are packed from their official binary builds) were built from source using ChrootCompile, a new tool developed by the GoboLinux team that provides a dynamically-generated sandboxed environment, insulating the source code and its dependencies during compilation.
Listener
GoboLinux now includes a tool for listening on filesystem events and assigning actions to be performed automatically, aptly named Listener. With it, you can, for example, clean up the links tree automatically as packages are removed from /Programs.
