Announcement: Genode OS Framework version 14.02 released

[Daniel Waddington]

Hi,
I'd support Lonie's comments about the importance of a live CD.  Of course
we picked up Genode and did the whole build, but the first exploration we
did was the live CD.  I know of people in other companies who abandoned
Genode because of the apparent difficulty of use.

You need express pizazz!!
Daniel
