Development Release: Arch Linux 2008.04 RC |
| A release candidate for Arch Linux 2008.04 is out and ready for testing: "A new batch of install images is currently being uploaded to mirrors. The FTP images have been made available tonight, while the CORE images will be pushed tomorrow night in order to distribute the load. This marks the first release based on a true live Arch system. That is, what's on the images is just a plain old base installation which just happens to boot from a CD or a USB stick. The installer script itself is roughly the same as it has always been. The most noticeable change is the use of UUIDs instead of sdX/hdX entries by default.If you get the chance, please give the images a spin. By the way, the 'RC' status of these images should not be a turn-off if you're looking to install Arch; there's a very good chance they'll work just fine for you." Here is the brief release announcement. Download (MD5): arch-core-install-2008.04-rc-i686.iso (287MB), arch-core-install-2008.04-rc-x86_64.iso (303MB). |

| About Arch Linux |
| Arch Linux is an independently developed, i686-optimised Linux distribution targeted at competent Linux users. It uses 'pacman', its home-grown package manager, to provide updates to the latest software applications with full dependency tracking. Operating on a rolling release system, Arch can be installed from a CD image or via an FTP server. The default install provides a solid base that enables users to create a custom installation. In addition, the Arch Build System (ABS) provides a way to easily build new packages, modify the configuration of stock packages, and share these packages with other users via the Arch Linux User Repository. |
