thanks for your report :) not sure about CD and DVD problem, let us
know if you figure out something we can fix in d:b

yea! the 2.6 alpha actually had linux-libre on! so if you report it
working, that is good news. right now the version 2 is not for
download because we need to update the kernel to linux libre, the 2.6
alpha was a first attempt, now fruity is completing the task, then we
will have again version 2 which is important because that works on
*very* old computers indeed.

the dyne:III is for old computers, but not too old :) you need 256MB
ram and a pentium2 or preferably 3. we did it so because if you can't
run this then is better you use dyne:II ...

i'd say keep running 2.6 alpha on the old computer and stay tuned for
the 2.6 stable. we wanted to release it at the same time than the
3.0.0 but then something bad happened: fruity has to work to earn
money for his family and now he is working in a heavy metal factory
where he injured his hand, so he is going too slow on the keyboard now
and is taking a break to heal. but he'll be back on track soon :)

i know he is reading so that's a good occasion to cheer him up! y0 \o/


ciao
