Greetings!

There is a new version of this LiveCD with several new features. For those of you stepping into the scene now D-GiG stands for Distributed Global Information Grid and runs off a regular CD and uses Mandriva Linux Toronto as a base.

It supports being loaded into VMware, uses hardware detection if you decide to insert it into a regular x86 PC. But here is a list of some new features:

Version 0.2 (dgig.2k7.20.iso) 553MB

* Added Apache web server with PHP5 support.
* WebUI version 1 complete with many features
* Ability to save prim data from sims as XML file to computer (snapshots).
* Restart D-GiG from webUI.
* Send specific commands to simulator via webUI (total web admin)
* Updated OpenSim build.
* Smaller ISO, only 550MB as opposed to 700MB.
* Built in FTP server to upload saved config files or anything else.
* SSH support so users may WinSCP or Putty into the simulator.
* Fixed a spelling error on main graphic start logo (opps!)
* Remade syslinux boot menu on start to only have 1 option until more are added.
* Installed/Compiled VMware tools for the simulator to allow easy packaging of sim in VMware.

Here are some videos of the simulator in action, the first one is booting up and the other is showing off all of the features mentioned above and other basics like being able to connect with the regular SL client.
