[Voyage-linux] Voyage Linux Experimental Release based on Debian Lenny

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi all,

Both disk persistency and PXE support in Live CD have been addressed.  
We suggest that users planning to use VL 0.6 should start testing it 
now, and report any bugs and your feedback. 

To recap, most notable changes in VL 0.6 are:
1. no more /rw and /ro.  They are replaced by aufs, for /var/log and 
/var/tmp
2. based on (to-be-released) Debian Lenny
3. 2.6.26 kernel

Regression tests is just started and feature request backlog in wiki is 
now being processed.  Even though Debian Lenny has not been official 
released, VL 0.6.0 should be ready in the next few weeks and is served 
as a test drive.  VL 0.6.1 is planned at the same time Debian Lenny is 
release.

The updated distribution and Live CD are available in the same URL given 
below:

Regards,
Punky
