DebEX KDE Live DVD Updated with KDE 4.14.2 and Plasma 5, Linux Kernel 4.8 RC8

By Marius Nestor

Based on the Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 “Jessie” operating system, DebEX KDE Live DVD Build 161001 is out as a drop-in replacement to version 160604, but it looks like Arne Exton managed to implement the latest Release Candidate (RC) version of the soon-to-be-released Linux 4.8 kernel, which should be out any moment now.

It is built on the KDE Development Platform 4.14.2, as well as the KDE Plasma 5:84 desktop environment from the Debian Jessie repos.
