Distribution Release: CRUX 2.4 |
| Tilman Sauerbeck has announced the release of CRUX 2.4, an independent, i686-optimised Linux distribution designed for power users: "We're happy to announce that CRUX 2.4 has been released." Some of the new features include: "Toolchain updates: includes glibc 2.6.1, GCC 4.2.2 and Binutils 2.18; X.Org 7.3, note that Xprint isn't supported any more; 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, install can be completed remotely." See the release announcement and release notes for more information. Download: crux-2.4.iso (246MB, 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. |
