The project has published a new development snapshot, Q4OS 3.7 which is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit builds. "We are entering the final phase of the Q4OS 3 Centaurus development, so it's now officially frozen. On this occasion we have released a brand new 32-bit Q4OS 'Centaurus' installation media designed for older computers, as well as 64-bit media cumulative update. Users can now easily deploy the Q4OS 3.7 testing release, if they want to become early adopters or just help with the testing. Please download 64-bit, as well as 32-bit ISO images on the dedicated Testing releases webpage. The Freeze phase is now in effect for Q4OS 3 'Centaurus', which means that no new features, nor significant changes are permitted, exception being only critical bugs and anything else, that might block the final release."

This new version of antiX features the very latest IceWM window manager, version 1.5.5: "Our first beta build of the upcoming antiX 19 release, based on Debian 'Buster' and systemd-free. Changes from antiX 17: ConnMan replaces wicd and is the default; ceni still included, but to use it you need to remove ConnMan - this means a faster boot with only a slight increase in RAM; the ConnMan GUI is included in the start-up file, but not enabled (to keep RAM usage down); more up-to-date look via a 'new' papirus-antix icon theme, numix-square is also included; ships with the very latest IceWM 1.5.5, herbstluftwm 0.7.2 and gnome-mpv 0.16; uses the 4.9.176 Linux kernel, the latest 4.19 and 5.1 kernel versions are easily installable; libpam-elogind-compat included; RoxTerm replaces LXTerminal; live GRUB rescue options; time-saver and assembly line installer changes; chroot-rescue added; isomount options; various ROX-Filer right-click additions...."

NEW • Distribution Release: CRUX 3.5 |
Rate this project
|
Matt Housh has announced the release of CRUX 3.5, a new stable version of the project's lightweight, x86-64 optimised Linux distribution featuring a simple tar.gz-based package system, BSD-style init scripts, and a small collection of trimmed packages: "The CRUX team is happy to announce the release of CRUX 3.5. Notable changes include glibc 2.28, GCC 8.3.0 and Binutils 2.32. CRUX 3.5 now also ships with PAM - we've made it as transparent as possible and it will be a good stepping stone for users wanting 2-factor authentication and other fun stuff. Breaking changes include the move of dbus configuration from /usr/etc to /etc, so backup your configurations before updating. Another potential headache may be various projects' move from autotools to newer build systems - glib may cause some problems here and dependent ports will need to be rebuilt. The ISO image is processed with isohybrid and is suitable for burning on a CD and putting on a USB drive. UEFI support is available during installation with dosfstools, efibootmgr and grub2-efi added to the ISO image." See the release announcement, release notes and changelog for more information. The updated CRUX Handbook with detailed installation and configuration instructions is also available. Download link: crux-3.5.iso (644MB, MD5, torrent, pkglist). Also available from OSDisc. |
