Highlights
--------------

Since 6.6 Beta1 release:

* root and admin users passwords are no longer synchronized
* Delta RPMs from CentOS mirrors
* Dashboard Disk Analyzer
* Updates from Software center page
* Revised ISO installer

Read carefully the [Release notes](http://docs.nethserver.org/en/v6.6/release_notes.html), what has been changed and instructions about how to upgrade from the previous 6.5.

As usual, a new installation can begin from

* ISO, by erasing any existing data on the hard disk (!)
* network, on a previously installed [CentOS 6.6 minimal][1]

Starting from 6.6 release, NethServer installations contact CentOS mirrors directly to retrieve upstream updates. NethServer specific packages are served by mirror.netheserver.org and other NethServer mirrors.
