[openmamba-users] Upgrade: openmamba milestone2 2.0pre4

[Silvan Calarco]

Users of openmamba milestone2 will get an upgrade to the fourth pre-release 
with the following main new features:

- "longterm" 2.6.35.11 kernel
- KDE desktop environment 4.5.5
- network connections management is now based on NetworkManager in order to 
provide an integrated and simple solution for ethernet, wireless, mobile 
broadband, ADSL (PPPoE) and more
- 400+ software components updated
- initial support for the "light" LXDE desktop environment, suitable for 
computers with limited CPU and memory resources

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- upon upgrade completion the system must be rebooted
- network settings like password for Wireless connection, static IP and DNS 
and any other custom settings have to be reconfigured with the new interface
- in order to decrease the risk of an upgrade failure due to the new kernel it 
is now possible to start the system using the previous kernel (2.6.33), 
available as a choice in the boot menu
- in order to use the LXDE environment the "lxde" package must be installed, 
then logout from KDE and login again after selecting "lxde" session type

Within a few days live installation media will be available and the official 
release will be published.

Wishing you a pleasant upgrade,
Silvan
