The Bayanihan Linux 5 Revision 4 is now available for download! The newest Kalumbata revision now features LibreOffice by The Document Foundation, an Open Source office productivity suite greatly derived from OpenOffice.org. However, OpenOffice.org 3.3, the latest version, is still bundled in the installer. Also packed in the new ISOs is the latest release of BL5's default web browser, Mozilla Firefox 4. Tons of security updates are also added.

For old BL users, software updates can be downloaded via Synaptic. Just follow the easy steps below:

1. Open Synaptic Package Manager (Menu > System > Package Manager). Enter the root password.
2. Before proceeding, make sure that the Kalumbata repository is enabled. To do this, go to Settings under the menu bar, and select Repositories. Check the box beside http://apt.bayanihan.gov.ph/kalumbata and click OK.
3. Click the Reload icon found at the upper left part of the Synaptic window.
4. After checking the repository for new, removed, or updated software packages, click the Search button (the last icon at the toolbar) and type the software to be updated.
5. If there is an update on the software you searched, right-click on the item/s and select "Mark for Upgrade".
6. On the resulting dialog box, click Mark.
7. Then, click the Apply button at the main toolbar.
8. The selected software will then be upgraded to its newest version.
