With that in mind, a Java developer can do the traditional Java approach and put a package declaration at the top of a .scala file just as normal Java classes do; the package declaration applies across the entire file scope just as it does in Java code."

Using the framebuffer brings improved performance while allowing you to render UTF-8 text in the terminal. FbTerm aims to be at least as fast as the normal Linux kernel terminal while providing internationalization support and modern font handling with fontconfig. It allows you to create as many as 10 different terminal windows on the same framebuffer, each window having scrollback history."

This is not a problem on a single internet-connected computer, but what if you have to install a dozen machines in an office, or there is no decent internet connection? An updated install DVD removes the need for this. Also, do you really want to answer all those questions each time when the answers are always the same? A custom install disc can take care of that for you."
