NEW • Development Release: Ultima Linux 8.4 Beta 2 |
| Martin Ultima has announced the availability of the second beta release of Ultima Linux 8.4, a Slackware-inspired distribution for desktops and servers: "This is planned as the last beta release before 8.4 final. All packages are built (although most are only available from the repository, not on the CD); various bugs -- including ATI drivers, CD-ROM permissions and symbolic links, installation issues -- have been fixed; stability has, for the most part, been vastly improved. There have been a few minor package updates, but hopefully not enough to cause massive breakage (still kernel 2.6.24.7, GCC 4.3.0, glibc 2.7, KDE 3.5.9). I'd actually release this as final, except there's a couple small bugs (CD eject on shutdown) remaining, as well as a pretty big one with Broadcom wireless cards." For more information please see the release announcement and release notes. Download: ultimalinux-8.4pre2_Desktop-x86-LiveCD.iso (681MB, MD5), ultimalinux-8.4pre2_Desktop-AMD64-LiveCD.iso (698MB, MD5). |

| About Ultima |
| Ultima Linux is a Slackware-compatible Linux distribution available for Intel and AMD-based personal computers. Although first intended as a lightweight, techie-oriented desktop system when development began in November 2004, Ultima has since evolved into a highly stable distribution supporting both desktop and server capabilities. Ultima Linux is built around the K Desktop Environment (KDE), and includes many popular applications such as Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, the OpenOffice.org office suite, the GIMP image editor, MPlayer and Xine media players, and many others. It borrows Slackware's TGZ package format, and can be extended with additional software from a public repository, or various third-party sites. |
