Hi all,

L2C2 Technologies (www.l2c2.org) has published a LiveCD featuring the latest version (2.2.3) of Koha (http://www.koha.org) - The World's first Opensource Integrated Library System (ILS). It can be freely downloaded from Koha's Sourceforge site.

The download URL is : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16466&package_id=5...

About the Koha LiveCD --------------------- The Koha Live CD is designed to provide the potential user with a "feel" of what Koha is like, without requiring the user to actually install anything in the computer's hard disk. To use the CD, one has to simply put it in one's CD-ROM drive, and reboot. A fully featured version of Linux loads off the CD-ROM and one can easily check out and play around with Koha via the Mozilla Firefox web browser provided in the Linux desktop environment that starts up.

The CD comes with a sample dataset of about 1000 titles to enable the users to get a feel of the day-to-day operations. For example, one can create a new user and try out the circulation module which supports keyboard-wedge style barcode readers .

The core components inside the Koha Live CD (version 1.0), all of which work together to provide the ultimate end user with the experience of Koha are:

* Koha (version 2.2.3) * Apache HTTP Server (version 2.0.53) with mod_perl support * Perl (version 5.8.4) * MySQL (version 4.1.10a) * XFCE4 Desktop Environment (version 4.1.10a) * Mozilla Firefox Web Browser (version 1.0.2) * Kbarcode barcode generation software (version 1.8.0) * GLabels label designer (version 2.0.1)
