Exactly a month after Icaros Desktop 1.1 main release, it's time for a little update. This newer version provides the latest system files and also an improved version of the OWB browser, and fixes some system issues encountered with the 1.1 release. For this reason, this update is available in two versions: an update CD for Icaros Desktop 1.1 users and a complete full live! DVD for new users. The photo above shows Icaros Desktop running on a Acer Aspire One netbook. It works fairly well, although it's running under an accelerated version of QEMU. The complete procedure will be explained in the next days...DOWNLOAD
