LinuxConsole can be started from CD/DVD, Hard disk, floppy disk, USB disk, or network card (PXE).
The 'console' word doesn't mean that it is started in 'console' mode, but is meant to symbolize the simplicity of using it. This distribution is as simple to use as a games console: you can start applications without installing them. It is a live CD, and all hardware should be auto-configured at first boot. LinuxConsole is modular: there is a common base (device detection, GUI) and optional modules for multimedia, communication, and servers.

Changes:
This release has been buildt from a new toolchain
based on gcc 4.2.2 and glibc 2.7. The 2.4 kernel
is also not available for this release, but you
can continue using 2007 ISOs if you have to
install linuxconsole on very old computers. The
kernel is 2.6.25.4, patched with squashfs and
aufs. Since bootsplash is obsolete, usplash
replaces it. Mplayer 1.0rc2 has DVD navigation
support built-in. You can use it as a "live CD",
install LinuxConsole 1.0.2008 on an empty hard
disk, or next to Windows.
