Distribution Release: Gentoox 7.0 "Home", 5.0 "Pro" |
| Thomas Pedley has announced new versions of Gentoox, a Gentoo-based distribution for the Xbox: "It has been about 21 months, but here they are... the 'You're still doing this?!' releases. I don't really know if there's any demand for Gentoox anymore, but I figured I'd put these out there just in case people do still use it. The major features are: fully synchronised software (both with Magic and Portage as of a few days ago); ditched RAR file format in favour of TBZ (file sizes are slightly bigger, but it's free!); nifty installer progress bar; updated BusyBox in all initrds; ditched KDE, only Xfce is available now (KDE was way too bloated); upgraded to latest 2.4 series kernel; switched Home edition to use -Os due to CPU's tiny cache (Pro still uses -O2 as this will give better number-crunching performance)...." Read the full release announcement for further details. Download the "Home" 7.0 or "Pro" 5.0 editions from here: Gentoox.ShALLaX.Home-Edition-v7.1.tbz2 (805MB, MD5), Gentoox.ShALLaX.Pro-Edition-v5.1.tbz2 (245MB, MD5). |
