GParted News Item 156

The GParted team is proud to announce a new stable release of GParted Live.

The big news with this release is the added ability to boot the live image on uEFI firmware computers, while maintaining boot ability on traditional PC/BIOS computers. This means that GParted Live can now boot on newer Windows 8 computers.

In addition to supporting uEFI firmware, two more GNU/Linux operating system images have been released: i686-PAE (Physical Address Extension) and AMD64 (X86-64). These new images permit addressing more than 4 gigabytes of RAM, and enable using multiple processor cores.

Other items of note include:

• Updated Linux kernel to 3.2.35-2
• Based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2012/Dec/23)

Thanks goes to Steven Shiau for these live image enhancements.
