XLink Kai XLIL v1.0

September 21st, 2005, 18:32 Posted By: wraggster

After about 2 months of development, XLIL v1.0 has been released - (XLIL - XLink Linux Installer and Launcher). Like the name says, it's a GUI application to assist users who wish to use Kai on Linux.

Cyborgas' intention was to publish a distro independant application, both easy to use and easy to install. The code is written in Python using pyQt and can run on both KDE and Gnome. Many people have been asking for this software, because running XLink Kai Linux from the command line is too geeky for some folks.

You can visit the SourceForge website for the project at: http://xlil.sf.net
Or check out a movie of XLIL in action by clicking here.
Soon XLIL will be available to download from the main TX website - but for now, head to the project site above to get a copy.

Features in v1.0:
+ Installer script to add an application entry in KDE/Gnome menu.
+ Intuitive configuration of kaid with a visual form.
+ Control Center where kaid can be started/stoped.
+ Control Center where jKaiUI can be launched.
+ Control Center with sensors for:
- UI atached/detached;
- Orbital connected/disconnected;
- Console discovered/lost.
+ Easy downloader and installer for java runtime. For people who don't have java runtime installed. Needed for jKaiUI.
