NEW • Development Release: NetBSD 8.1 RC1 |

Martin Husemann has announced the availability of a new release candidate for NetBSD 8.1. The new release candidate ships with CPU vulnerability workarounds, a new wireless driver and several performance improvements. Husemann writes: "Over the last year, many changes have been made to the NetBSD 8 stable branch. As a stable branch the release engineering team and the NetBSD developers are conservative with changes to this branch and many users rely on the binaries from our regular auto-builds for production use. Now it is high time to cut a formal release, right before we go into the next release cycle with the upcoming branch for NetBSD 9. Besides the workarounds for the latest CPU specific vulnerabilities, this also includes many bug fixes and a few selected new drivers. For more details and instructions see the 8.1 RC1 announcement." Additional details can be found in the project's CHANGES file. Download (SHA512): NetBSD-8.1_RC1-amd64.iso (722MB), NetBSD-8.1_RC1-i386.iso (684MB). |

Peppermint OS is a lightweight, desktop distribution based on packages from Ubuntu which merges components of the Xfce and LXDE desktop environments. Peppermint OS also tries to integrate web-based applications into the desktop, using site-specific browsers, and local programs. The project's latest version, Peppermint OS 10, is built from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS packages and features improved hardware support. It also includes an updated copy of Ice for managing web-app short-cuts. "Peppermint 10 main changes: Linux kernel 4.18 which is now on the rolling HWE-18.04 track so will eventually roll onto the 5.xx kernel automatically as the HWE is updated upstream. Updated X.Org stack, again via the rolling HWE-18.04 track. Proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers now installed automatically if 'Install third party drivers/software' is selected as part of the installation routine, this includes automatic configuration of NVIDIA Optimus setups up to the NVIDIA 390 drivers. If you intend to install the later drivers from the 'Proprietary GPU Drivers' PPA, it would probably be best not to select this option during install and add them manually post-install. Ice now has support for isolated profiles for Chromium, Chrome and Vivaldi SSBs (Firefox SSBs are always isolated)." Additional information can be found in the project's release announcement.

We are finally shipping our recently announced IPS - making all of your networks more secure by deeply inspecting packets and trying to identify threats. This new system has many advantages over the old one in terms of performance, security and it simply put - more modern. We have put together some documentation on how to set up the IPS, what rulesets are supported and what hardware resources you will need. Your settings will automatically be converted if you are using the existing Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and replicated with the new IPS."

ArcoLinux is an Arch-based distribution which is available in three main branches, which provide a range of complete solutions, minimal editions designed to be customized by the user, and community flavours. The ArcoLinux project has published a new update, version 19.05.2, that adds some short-cuts and trims out features that were causing problems. "Redshift was included in the last ISO image. During testing Redshift gave no issues. After the launch some of our users reported it was not working. Since reports were partially negative, we have decided not to include it on the ISO image. You can install in later, if you want to have it. Software that gives our users frustrations is out as a rule of thumb. Super + q - from the development of Qtile we have learned to use the keyboard shortcut super + q to close a window. We were so used to this shortcut that we have implemented it also in Xfce, Openbox, i3, Awesome, bspwm, Qtile and xmonad." Further details and screenshots can be found in the release announcement.

Emmabuntüs is a desktop Linux distribution with editions based Xubuntu and Debian's Stable branch. It strives to be beginner-friendly and reasonably light on resources so that it can be used on older computers. The project has published an update to its Debian-based branch, Emmabuntüs Debian Edition 2-1.04, which is based on Debian 9.9. "This update of our distribution is taking over the improvements we implemented in our recent Emmabuntüs DE 3 beta release, based on Debian 10 Buster, and brings an improvement in the size of the ISO by the rationalization of the current software, and the removal of unsupported languages. In addition, it supports pkexec instead of gksu in all our post-installation and customization scripts. We hope that this new version will further facilitate the repackaging work made by the various associations using Emmabuntüs, and the task of our friends JerryClan from France and Africa." Further details and a list of changes to the default software can be found in the distribution's release announcement.

Alexander Pyhalov has announced the release of OpenIndiana 2019.04, the latest stable build of the project's open-source operating system, originally forked from the discontinued OpenSolaris project. This version integrates VirtualBox packages into the operating system and updates many packages, including the MATE desktop and the Firefox browser: "We have released a new OpenIndiana Hipster snapshot 2019.04. The noticeable changes: Firefox was updated to 60.6.3 ESR; VirtualBox packages were added (including guest additions); MATE was updated to 1.22; IPS has received updates from OmniOS CE and Oracle IPS repositories, including automatic boot environment naming; some OpenIndiana-specific applications have been ported from Python 2.7 and GTK 2 to Python 3.5 and GTK 3. Known issues: Firefox can fail to spawn child processes on first launch, after restart it runs fine; in some scenarios Firefox hangs or crashes - in many cases enlarging the swap helps."

The 9.0.2 release contains many changes and refinements to user experience and a complete overhaul of the underlying OS core to improve stability and extend hardware support. Kodi 18 also brings new features like Kodi Retroplayer and DRM support that (equipped with an appropriate add-on) allows Kodi to unofficially stream content from services like Netflix and Amazon. Changes since LibreELEC 9.0.1: updated Kodi to 18.2; updated Linux kernel to 4.19.36; fixed TBS 5520SE tuning; fixed Zotac remotes; fixed pvr.hts (Tvheadend) timeshift (partly). Settings add-on: changeable SSH passwords; default firewall (iptables) with simple configurations for home and public networks; updates are moved to their own menu, other options are cleaned up a little; Safe Mode boot when Kodi experiences start-up problems."

NEW • Development Release: Rescatux 0.71 Beta 7 |
Rate this project
|
For those stressful moments when one desperately needs to recover a broken Linux installation, Rescatux, a Debian-based distribution (now with LXQt instead of LXDE desktop), is a handy live CD to keep around. A new development build, Rescatux 0.71 beta 7, was announced yesterday. Although the project's past released were always based on Debian "stable", the latest version has been built on top of the upcoming Debian 10 "Buster" - this is primarily to support newer hardware: "Using Debian 'Buster' 10 instead of Debian 'Jessie' 8 as a base means that more recent hardware will be supported out of the box. The other nice thing about this ISO image is the many ways it can be booted. Super Grub2 Disk which has a hybrid boot that supports i386-pc, ia32-efi and amd64-efi boots is from the same author. So you should not expect an amd64-only disk and an i386-only disk but a hybrid one. Now Rescatux 0.71 beta 7 gets Secure Boot support from Debian 'Buster'. And it's Secure Boot which works with Microsoft Secure Boot-enabled machines. So we are not going to need to tweak our UEFI firmware to be able to boot Rescatux." Read this detailed blog post which announces the new version and provides further details as well as screenshots. Download: rescatux-0.71-beta7.iso (672MB, MD5, torrent, pkglist). |
