Updating to the Latest Version

While the CD content is static, the online version is constantly improved and updated. You can take advantage of this, by updating the Blue version you got on the CD with the latest version. The version on the CD is Blue Version 0.8.17; you can check the latest update here. If you wonder what has changed in newer versions, check the version history.

Installing a Full Linux

The CD also contains a full Linux system. You can install that Linux system properly, if you like, but we do not provide general support for Linux problems. Installing Linux is not trivial, and you should have experience, someone to help you or a good book to do it.

If you install that Linux version, please read the Linux Notes.
