After informing us a couple of days ago about the release of DebEX KDE Live DVD 161001 and DebEX GNOME Live DVD 161007, developer Arne Exton now announces the general availability of DebEX Barebone Live DVD.

DebEX Barebone Live DVD is the third and last edition of the Debian-based DebEX operating system, and it looks like the build, version 161009, is here today, October 9, 2016, pre-installed with all the latest GNU/Linux technologies and open source software projects, including the recently released Linux 4.8 kernel.

Built around the lightweight and highly customizable Xfce 4.12.1 desktop environment, DebEX Barebone Live DVD Build 161009 is based on the Debian GNU/Linux 9"Stretch" (Testing) and Debian Sid (Unstable) operating systems, just like the DebEX GNOME Live DVD. Of course, all the included packages are at their latest versions as of October 9.

"A new version of DebEX Barebone with Xfce 4.12.1 and kernel 4.8.0-21-exton (equivalent to Kernel.org’s stable kernel 4.8) is ready. I have also installed Nvidia’s proprietary graphics driver 370.28 in this new version of DebEX Barebone," says Arne Exton in the release announcement. "All packages have been updated to the latest version as of October 9, 2016."

Ships with the Nvidia 370.28 proprietary video driver and TOR Browser

Among some of the most interesting things included in the DebEX Barebone Live DVD Build 161009, we can mention the Nvidia 370.28 proprietary video driver for owners of Nvidia graphics cards, the Google Chrome web browser for those who want to watch TV shows and movies on the Netflix video streaming platform, and the Tor Browser for those who want to browse the Internet anonymously.

You can study the entire list of included packages here, and download the DebEX Barebone Live DVD Build 161009 ISO image right now via our website, which you can write on either USB flash drives or DVD discs. Please note that DebEX Barebone is a slimmed-down version of DebEX, and it's designed to run only on 64-bit computers.
