Tablix on Morphix
Tablix on Morphix was yet another bootable CD-based Linux distribution. As the name suggests, it was based on Morphix, a modular CD distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux. What was special about Tablix on Morphix was the automatic cluster configuration. This means that all you need for a functioning PVM3 cluster was a bunch of computers and a pile of Tablix on Morphix CDs.

NEW • Distribution Release: Rescuezilla 2.4 |

Rescuezilla is a specialist Ubuntu-based distribution designed for system rescue tasks, including backups and system restoration. The project's latest release updates its Ubuntu base, improves support for Btrfs, and sidesteps the Firefox Snap package by using a personal package archive (PPA). "Replaces Ubuntu 21.10 (Impish) build with build based on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) for best support of new hardware. Builds latest version of partclone from source code v0.3.20, instead of OS package. This fixes 'unsupported feature' error for users of compressed BTRFS filesystems (such as Fedora Workstation 33 and newer). Removed old partclone v0.2.43 used to maximize legacy Redo Backup compatibility (modern partclone still provides good backwards compatibility). Fixed execution of Clonezilla EFI NVRAM script to better correctly handle reboot on EFI systems. Switched Firefox to using the Mozilla Team PPA repository, because new Snap packaging is incompatible with Rescuezilla's build scripts. Added ability to compress images using bzip2 algorithm." The project's release notes offer further details. Download (SHA256): rescuezilla-2.4-64bit.jammy.iso (1,085MB, pkglist). |

The Linux Mint team have announced a new version of its Ubuntu-based distribution, Linux Mint 21. The new version swaps out the old Blueberry Bluetooth software in favour of Blueman, improvements have been made to the Sticky Notes application to make it easier to identify different notes, and there is a new process monitor which will indicate to the user when automated tasks are consuming system resources. "Automated tasks are great to keep your computer safe but they can sometimes affect the system's performance while you're working on it. A little process monitor was added to Linux Mint to detect automated updates and automated system snapshots running in the background. Whenever an automated task is running the monitor places an icon in your system tray. Your computer might still become slow momentarily during an update or a snapshot, but with a quick look on the tray you'll immediately know what's going on." A more complete list of changes can be found in the release announcement for each edition (Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce) and in the What's New documents (Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce). Download (SHA256, signature, pkglist): linuxmint-21-cinnamon-64bit.iso (2,335MB, torrent), linuxmint-21-mate-64bit.iso (2,394MB, torrent), linuxmint-21-xfce-64bit.iso (2,303MB, torrent). |

OPNsense is a FreeBSD-based specialist operating system (and a fork of pfSense) designed for firewalls and routers. The project's latest release is OPNsense 22.7 which includes an updated FreeBSD base and PHP 8: "22.7, nicknamed "Powerful Panther", features the upgrade to FreeBSD 13.1, PHP 8.0, Phalcon 5, stacked VLAN and Intel QuickAssist (QAT) support, DDoS protection using SYN cookies, MVC/API pages for IPsec status and Unbound overrides, new APCUPSD and CrowdSec plugins plus much more. LibreSSL flavour is scheduled for removal at the end of this series and will likely receive no further maintenance. Software failing to work properly starting with Tor will have its plugin removed from the flavour from now on to be able to keep updating the software to their latest versions in the OpenSSL flavour. The next major upgrade will automatically transition to the OpenSSL flavour, but we would encourage everyone to switch between 22.7.x for the least amount of possible impact."

NEW • Development Release: OpenMandriva Lx 5.0 Technical Preview |
Rate this project
|
Cristina Sgubbi has announced the availability of the first development snapshot of OpenMandriva Lx 5.0, an upcoming new version of the project's desktop-oriented Linux distribution featuring the latest Plasma desktop: "Here is the technical preview of the upcoming OpenMandriva Lx ROME (Rolling) and also the 5.0 'Rock' snapshot. Installing Rolling is pretty much the same as installing Rock. There is an auto-updater tool in ABF (OpenMandriva Automated Build Farm) which has been kept turned off for longer that we anticipated so Rolling has not been getting many upgrades recently and has not really been 'rolling'. This is because developers have been making some big changes to toolchain and system packages in the Cooker branch (where the upgrades come from) that would make it unsafe and unwise at this time. Some of the major changes: Python 3.11; Java 20; Linux kernel 5.18.12 (Clang kernel as default, with the option to install GCC kernel easily from the om-welcome module); the latest and brightest KDE products - KDE Frameworks 5.96.0, Plasma Desktop 5.25.3, KDE Gear 22.04.2; many software upgrades." Continue to the release announcement for further details. Download (MD5, pkglist): OpenMandrivaLx.5.0-TP-plasma.x86_64.iso (2,416MB). As usual, an image optimised for the current range of AMD processors is also available: OpenMandrivaLx.5.0-TP-plasma.znver1.iso (2,490MB). |
