Last week, I have released Dotsch/UX 1.0. - Dotsch/UX is a Linux distribution for BOINC which easily installs and boot from a USB stick, hard disk and from diskless clients and also has some interfaces to setup the diskless server and the clients automatically.

Is BOINC 6.4.5 stable and usable in the broad now ? - As I have released the distribtution, I had the impresstion, that to much bugs where in 6.4.5 so I have released the older stable version, which worked really stable.

The users can easily upgrade the BOINC client, if they would use the newest version. The only steps they have to do is to stop the BOINC client "sudo /etc/init.d/boinc stop", uprade the BOINC client and start it again ("sudo /etc/init.d/boinc start").

Boinc 6.4.5 is stable and is necessary to crunch the new CUDA applications :-)

I've updated the documentation with the detailed steps for upgrading the BOINC client to a newer version.

Today I have released Dotsch/UX 1.1. Mayor changes are the availability of a 32 bit (i386) and 64 bit (x64) distribution, mixed i386 and x64 diskless client on one single diskless server, build in BOINC client 6.4.5 and bug fixes
 for the USB, hard disk, diskless server and diskless client Installation tools.

The distribution is available at http://www.dotsch.de/Dotsch_UX
