We're proud to announce GoboLinux 014.01-beta1. This is the first beta of what is to become our first bugfixes-only release, 014.01. This is shaping up to be a pretty solid release, so please help us out by testing this thoroughly.

Here are the download links: (MD5: 4ab92728113d934a658a296009d4d43a)

Here is the link to the full announcement at the GoboLinux mailing list.

Yes, it's the first time we're doing a "point release"... but as we all know, this is definitely a project that was never attached to any dogmas. :-)

GoboLinux.org in Swedish!

First it was "ã", then "ß", then "я", then "ő", then "è", then "ñ"... and now "å"! GoboLinux.org continues to stress the Unicode capabilities of your browser by integrating one more language to the website. :) We're happy to announce gobolinux.org in Swedish! Many thanks to Jonas Karlsson for his hard work translating the site. Or as the Swedish chef would have said: "Bork, bork bork!"
