Distro Astro 3.0.2 Released

Distro Astro 3.0.2 has been unleashed. Tell your friends about it! Finally a Linux distribution made specially for astronomy (http://www.distroastro.org/features/). This release contains many fixes from the 3.0 release, codenamed Juno. The list of changes can be found in the following page:
http://www.distroastro.org/changelog (http://www.distroastro.org/changelog/)
If you already have Distro Astro 3.0 or 3.0.1 installed, you can easily upgrade to 3.0.2. Just run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

You can clean up your system after the upgrade using:
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo aptitude purge ~c

The Distro Astro team would like to thank Richie Jarvis and Christopher Briggs for hosting the ISO files, and Raymund Ang for the hosting the web site and repositories.

Special thanks also to Matteo Manzo Manzoni, ASTROtrezzi.it, Roberto Tomé, John Barber, Starseeker, Chris Samuel, and Jack Gallimore for their contributions to this version.

I am just starting to experiment with Distro Astro. I will run the upgrade next time I power it up.

So far I am just messing around to get connections to camera and mount sorted on a headless box, but time and money mean it will be a month or two before I really get there.
