LiveG OS V0.1.0 Alpha

This is our very first release of LiveG OS! This is an Alpha pre-release, which means that there are many parts of LiveG OS that are still in-development (and so are unfinished), and there are many aspects of LiveG OS which we haven't even begun development on yet.

There is no update mechanism for LiveG OS yet, so when future releases are available, you will need to install the new version of LiveG OS via the LiveG OS Setup/Installation Media (ISO file), which means overwriting your old installation (though this may not be too important at this stage).

It is recommended that you use LiveG OS in a virtual machine (QEMU is best, but VirtualBox works well, too), though we would love to see real-world tests on various types of bare-metal hardware. Please also report issues related to LiveG OS in the relevant repositories — you can see a list of relevant repositories for LiveG OS on our readme file.

Note: Please ensure that you change your BIOS/UEFI boot options to boot from internal storage when the system restarts after installation; otherwise the Installation Media will be booted again. This shouldn't be an issue for computers with a boot order that checks internal storage devices first.
