Development Release: CRUX 2.4 RC1 |
| Tilman Sauerbeck has announced the first release candidate for CRUX 2.4, a light-weight, i686-optimised distributions for power users: "We have rolled the first release candidate of the upcoming CRUX 2.4 release." What's new? "Toolchain updates - CRUX 2.4 includes glibc 2.6.1, GCC 4.2.2 and Binutils 2.18. X.Org 7.3 - CRUX 2.4 ships with X.Org 7.3; note that Xprint isn't supported anymore. New ISO image - CRUX 2.4 uses a new ISO image with an initial RAM file system (initramfs) that allows for some convenient features: the boot sequence now tries to automatically detect the CD-ROM drive; the CD can be unmounted (to make way for a CD with alternative packages, for example); install can be completed remotely: boot the CD, set a root password, configure the network (dhcpcd included), start sshd." Read the release announcement and release notes for further information. Download: crux-2.4-rc1.iso (250MB, MD5). |

| About CRUX |
| CRUX is a lightweight, i686-optimised Linux distribution targeted at experienced Linux users. The primary focus of this distribution is "keep it simple", which is reflected in a simple tar.gz-based package system, BSD-style initscripts, and a relatively small collection of trimmed packages. The secondary focus is utilization of new Linux features and recent tools and libraries. |
