Distribution Release: Beehive 0.5.0 |
| Beehive Linux 0.5.0 announced. Code named 'Money Shot', this is your last chance to get it for free: "This will be the *last* release free for download. Going forward Beehive will be subscription based at a cost of $60 per year for quarterly releases. Why am I doing this? Beehive has had over 70K downloads in the 14 months it's been on the grid. In all that time I have had exactly *one*, yes *one* (thank you j.p.) donation to help offset the cost of colo & bandwidth. There are mirrors yes, but that doesn't pay for the master server, bandwidth, or time." The ISO image has also been uploaded and you can get it here: beehive_linux-0.5.0.iso (665MB). In the meantime, take a look at our Beehive, Major Distributions and Top 10 Distributions pages.. The complete package list can be perused here.

| About Beehive Linux |
| Our goal in creating Beehive Linux was to provide a fast, simple, secure i686 optimized Linux distribution without all the cruft and clutter. What we wanted was something that was fast to install and setup, something that didn't by default include 500 megs of stuff we didn't want or need. And something that had native ReiserFS support built in. We just wanted something better. Something tighter. Something cleaner. Beehive Linux is a distribution made by system administrators, for system administrors. It's intent is to provide fast and clean setup of workhorse servers and workstations. If you're looking for wizards and whizbang gizmos, you are in the wrong place. If you want to setup servers with the services you and/or your users need, you are in the right place. Beehive also works well as a workstation and X, E, BlackBox and KDE are included - this is not the primary focus of Beehive but hey, every admin needs a workstation as well right? Beehive Linux is not for the inexperienced, or those new to linux/*nix. Beehive Linux is for people that know what they're doing and want to get the job done as well as possible in the least amount of time. |
