14 DAY TRIAL // The Dreamlinux developers proudly announced yesterday, January 1st, the immediate availability for download of the Dreamlinux 5.0 operating system.
With a Mac OS X-like user interface, the Debian Wheezy powered distro features Linux kernel 3.1, Xfce 4.8, updated installed, safe software updates through dist-upgrade, an exclusive boot system for faster startups, and 100% Debian Testing compatibility.
"Embedding Dreamlinux 5 to a flash memory device can be made in three ways: as a read-only image, just like the DVD one, making it ideal for simply boot and install Dreamlinux on internal or external hard disks; as a semi-persistent image, being added to any regular vfat formatted flash memory device, without interfering with the existing files and data; or as the more exciting full-persistent-storage mode!"

It will preserve everything you do in your live session, like installing new programs, configuring Dreamlinux to your liking, and so on." - was stated on the project's homepage.
