ExLight Live DVD Is Now Based on Ubuntu 16.10, Ships with Enlightenment 0.20

Based on the recently released Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) and Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 “Jessie” operating systems, ExLight Live DVD Build 161016 uses Arne Exton’s special kernel 4.8.0-21-exton, which is based on Linux kernel 4.8 (also used in Ubuntu 16.10), replacing the 4.6.0-10-exlight kernel used in previous releases of ExLight. Another interesting change implemented in the new ExLight Live DVD release is the ability to save file and settings during the live session, as the ISO image is shipped with persistence technology. Also, you’ll be able to write the ISO to USB flash drives or use it directly from RAM thanks to the new “Copy to RAM” boot functionality.
