Dragora 2.0 - Announcement and ChangeLog.
=========================================

I am pleased to announce the final version of Dragora 2.0.

Dragora is a powerful and reliable GNU/Linux distribution created from
scratch with the intention of providing a stable, multiplatform and
multipurpose operating system. Built with 100% free software.

Highlights since RC2: the installer includes a better detection
method for the CD-ROM, the option to install GRUB in a root
partition is back again. The installation of the packages is
slightly faster with clzip-1.0 and lzip-1.10. This release
comes with Runit as default init scheme, Linux-libre kernel
2.6.32.11, OpenSSL 1.0.0, GCC 4.4.3, and more. Added Curl,
and Expat to complement Git 1.7.0.4. Continue reading for
more details.

*** You can download the system (with the sources) and
    the MD5SUM files from:
