Dreamlinux 3.0 RC1 Launched
The first release candidate of Dreamlinux 3.0 was launched yesterday, sporting some minor improvements and some bugs squashed. The final release of Dreamlinux 3.0 is scheduled for March 29th.

About Dreamlinux:
Dreamlinux is a Brazilian Linux distribution, based on Debian, that can boot directly into XFCE or GNOME, depending on the user's preferences. It uses a totally independent architecture called Flexiboost, based on overlaid modules. It allows the co-existence of two or more different window managers, sharing the same customized appearance. The environments can share all the available applications. Dreamlinux features its own software, like DLI (Dreamlinux Installer), EasyInstall (for point-and-click package installation), MkDistro (for distribution remastering), a configuration tool for the Engage dock, a Control Panel and much more apps.
