NEW: CAELinux Beta 3B

For those of you who are interested in trying out CAELinuxBeta3B before its official release, you can already start downloading it through Bittorrent.

To get the torrent file, see this page:
www.caelinux.com/bittorrent/tracker/mystats.php

Unfortunatelly, this ISO release is 2.2Gb, and distributing files larger than 2Gb is really problematic: the download mirror server cannot support HTTP downloads with files >2Gb and our Bittorrent Webseed system is also limited.

Several options are investigated, like renting a new high capacity web hosting or splitting the files in parts (multi part ZIP files for example).

Any suggestions and feedback is welcome!!

Best Regards,

J.Cugnoni

PS: Now we also provide videos for the introduction to CAELinux & a basic tutorial corresponding to the well known \"Piston\" case.
The Videos can be downloaded here:
www.caelinux.com/downloads/docs/IntroductionCAELinux-part1.avi
www.caelinux.com/downloads/docs/IntroductionCAELinux-part2.avi

PS bis: To allow a good download speed, we are looking for volounteer to seed the ISO file over Bittorrent. If you would like to help and know a bit of BitTorrent, you can send us an email at admin -at- caelinux.com so we can give you an URL for a direct (fast) download of the file.
Thank you in advance !!

First, thank you for this release which is a great update of CAELinux 3a.

I want to know if CAELinux 3b have a new version of OpenFoam (1.3 or 1.4 alpha) and if the unvtofoam translator is installed.

Congratulation for your work!

Hi Joel,

another great effort!

Arnold

Any timeframe on a VMWare version of 3b? (oh yeah, well done!)

What about FELyX
(felyx.sourceforge.net)
in the next Caelinux?

Thanks John !!

I really appreciate your efforts - I'm looking forward to being able to use the RAM, and having the nv card work.

Thanks
Robin
