Issue 24/2010 was released today and Kernel Panic is included on its cover-DVD. There is also a small article (just a few lines) and a screenshot. I can scan it tomorrow at work if someone is interested.

hi,
today i was attending a local german linux-user-group - for the first time.
talking about this and that i said: "i play springrts".
one guy with a netbook went to springrts.com and said "oh! kernel panic.." - and there was this cd from c't 24/10 on the table - it includes spring with kernel panic.
cd had sign saying "for ages 12 and up".
now: offtopic tale following......
so.. on the fly spring was installed on ubuntu (or was it pure debian?) on his netbook (about 12 megs over umts stick), and i set up a game ai vs ai. spring was in apt-sources - great.
some quirks on ubuntu install :
-firsttime user is still confronted with screen "select map/mod dir" and "select unitsync" - owner of netbook didn't now how to handle it.
-singleuser with no map and mod is startup screen - even as there was only one mod it was not default.
-netbook hat resolution of 1024x600 - i had to switch to 800x600 to get it work
-choosing right ai was successfull on third try - aai and others didn't work of cause, only kernelAI works on kernelpanic.
afterwards the ppl in the tavern could enjoy watching a great open source game :)
it worked fine on this quite new eeepc, don't know which one it was.
i like spring - but it still has probs like years ago.
and then: i'd like to see a stable version of BA - one which can be played for some years and can be distributed with magazines.
to the developers and all:
good work! go on! have luck! good fun!
I don't know what's on C'T DVD but I only made a Windows installer, no linux ones. Ideally a KP install should have no external AI, all KP maps, and a link to start Spring with the single player menu startscript.
