Development Release: Ultima Linux 8.4 Beta 1 |
| Martin Ultima announced a new beta release of Ultima Linux 8.4, a fast, powerful, and convenient computer operating system which emphasizes a "common sense" approach to development and eases common
system administration tasks. "Right now it's only available as a slightly-more-bloated-than-usual x86 LiveCD; due mainly to size reasons, an AMD64 version has been postponed until a later date (but you can grab the new ultima-scripts and built it yourself, from the package repository). As far as the new codebase goes: The desktop code is essentially "feature-complete"; servers and development tools are a work in progress and will be the focus of the next beta. Among other features, in no particular order, we have kernel 2.6.24.7 with SquashFS+LZMA support; ext2/ext3, ReiserFS, XFS, and JFS filesystems (XFS default)..." See the release announcement and release notes for more information. Download (MD5) the live CD image: ultimalinux-8.4...LiveCD.iso (692MB). Update: The 64-bit version is now available: ultimalinux-8.4...AMD64-LiveCD.iso (703MB). |

| 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. |
