LinuxConsole can be started from CD/DVD, Hard disk, floppy disk, USB disk, or network card (PXE). The 'console' word doesn't mean that it is started in 'console' mode, but is meant to symbolize the simplicity of using it. This distribution is as simple to use as a games console: you can start applications without installing them. It is a live CD, and all hardware should be auto-configured at first boot. LinuxConsole is modular: there is a common base (device detection, GUI) and optional modules for multimedia, communication, and servers.

Changes:
This release has been buildt from a new toolchain based on gcc 4.2.2 and glibc 2.7. The 2.4 kernel is also not available for this release, but you can continue using 2007 ISOs if you have to install linuxconsole on very old computers. The kernel is 2.6.25.4, patched with squashfs and aufs. Since bootsplash is obsolete, usplash replaces it. Mplayer 1.0rc2 has DVD navigation support built-in. You can use it as a "live CD", install LinuxConsole 1.0.2008 on an empty hard disk, or next to Windows.
