Clonezilla / News: Stable Clonezilla live (2.4.2-10) ReleasedThis release of Clonezilla live (2.4.2-10) includes major enhancements and bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES
- The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2015/Jun/08).
- Linux kernel was updated to 4.0.2-1. The default union file system has been changed to overlay, therefore if you edit boot parameter manually, you have to use "union=overlay". No more using "union=aufs".
- Switched to use systemd instead of sysvinit.
That is good as now pretty much all is systemctl. Most of the distros as I've personally noticed are moving towards that direction. Rolling release distros have been using that system for a long time and most recently, Ubuntu went that way as well when they released Vivid Vervid.
