Eagle Linux 2.2 is out: "Eagle Linux, an educational Linux distribution that offers users the ability to build personal floppy and CD-ROM based distributions, today announced the release of Eagle Linux version 2.2. Eagle Linux is distributed in the form of a freely available, open source 'how-to' document that covers, in full detail, the creation of a stand-alone floppy, CD, or embedded Linux image." Visit the Eagle Linux home page for further information and to get the Eagle Linux 2.2 Howto document (in PDF format) and the pre-built ISO image: Eagle_2_2_0.iso 22MB).

About Eagle Linux
|
Eagle Linux is a Linux distribution that boots and runs from a floppy or a CD-ROM, saving you the trouble of having to install Linux on your system - and you build it yourself! There is no longer a need to repartition your hard drive or uninstall your current operating system. This is a great feature for academic sectors who may have had systems donated by companies who don't allow the format of the hard drive to be changed (repartitioning). Eagle Linux is also a great embedded systems learning tool, and since you build it yourself, it can easily be created to run on any processor family. What's unique about Eagle Linux? It does not use a compressed file system for standard files, making file access faster. It detects and mounts your IDE and SCSI hard drives in write mode, allowing read/write media access. It also offers an easier way for less experienced Linux users to create their own bootable floppy or CD from scratch using the HOW-TOs available on the downloads page.

Interview with Mike Angelo, Eagle Linux |
 |
Eagle Linux does not get much news coverage, so it's nice to see this interview with Mike Angelo, the developer of Eagle Linux, over at TuxReports: "What makes Eagle Linux stand out is that it isn't actually a tangible distribution. It lives in the form of a well written set of documents (how-tos) that describe, in detail, the steps needed to create a bootable Linux floppy or CD, however the CD based version provides the most functionality. Now that the web hosting services have been improved, an ISO image will soon be available for download for those who simply don't have the time or desire to actually create their own CD. As Eagle's feature set progresses, this will become a more popular avenue for that sector." Read the rest of the interview.
