New Installer (DLI)

Easy, simple, fast!

You can install Dreamlinux on hard disks already partitioned or not. You can also install a complete new GRUB boot manager, with a nice Dreamlinux themed splashscreen or you can include the Dreamlinux load information into an existing GRUB boot manager.

Dreamlinux Installer automatically detects existing linux partitions and allows you to repartition disks prior to installation. It also allows you to install your /home dir into a separate partition, as well as almost any other dir you want. So, if, for instance, you customized Dreamlinux to a server distro you can install your /var, /usr, /usr/local, /opt, /srv, /boot, and /tmp to different partitions.

Better yet, any customizations you did during the LiveCD session will be maintained after installation.

New to this version of DLI is the possibility to install Dreamlinux to a disk, using it completely, not worrying about partitioning and the likes.

The possibilities are infinite!"

SCRIPTS IN RUBY-GTK2

From this version on Dreamlinux starts to heavily rely on scripts written in Ruby, with support from the Gtk2 library for graphical applications. Ruby is a true interpreted object oriented language with several of the most advanced features found in other languages and some features unique to its own implementation. Thanks to the huge success of its "Killer Application", Ruby On Rails, Ruby is experiencing an increasing popularity among developers.
