This Caos NSA 1.0 release includes all known security updates, the latest supported packages, configuration tools, better support for private and public clouds, and enhanced hardware and compatibility support from some of our supporters including Intel, SuperMicro and HP all wrapped up into a brand new Live Media installer supporting a kickstart compatible installer and some pre-defined install profiles. So now you can test drive Caos NSA before installing to your local media or use it as a powerful stateless server solution. Documentation for the LiveMedia installer and an animated walk-through can be found at: http://wiki.caoslinux.org/Caos_NSA_1_Live_Installer_Walkthrough Thanks to everyone on the Caos development team! -- Greg M.

I fully agree! I didn't even realize that these are beta drivers. When you download either the CUDA 2.3 or the OpenCL SDK (OK, OpenCl is in beta, but to the best of my knowledge CUDA 2.3 is the latest official release), you get a link for the 190.x drivers and told to get them or else (I never read the fineprint, and the development machine is headless ;-) I'll install the drivers by hand -- thanks!
