XubunTOS 2.0 released

The second version of XubunTOS, a Linux Live CD with TinyOS installed, has been released. XubunTOS 2.0 builds on Xubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) and contains TinyOS 2.0.2, TinyOS 1.x from CVS, and custom files for syntax highlighting, shell environment variables, and convenient aliases. You can download XubunTOS 2.0 from the Toilers XubunTOS page.

With the second version, a new feature has been added: an easy way to modify and rebuild XubunTOS. Even though the authors tried to make XubunTOS 1.0 as generally useful as possible, there are always other software packages to install or tweaks to make it that much better. Because it was distributed only an ISO for XubunTOS 1.0, none of those community enhancements were possible, or at least not easy. With XubunTOS 2.0, you can easily modify the Live CD and create your own custom image.

XubunTOS can also be installed inside a VMware virtual machine. Instructions are provided for both Debian-based Linux as well as Windows users here.

Thanks for posting this. I also wrote up how I created XubunTOS 2.0 with Reconstructor, which has instructions that may be useful to people who want to customize the Live CD.
