This is the first ever public release of Ares Desktop, a Linux distribution launched in January 2004 by merging JAMD Linux and Blue Linux: "I went ahead and opened alpha 2 to the public. It is not bug free and may not work on your machine. But that's because it is alpha. DO NOT USE ON A PRODUCTION MACHINE. I released this because we need to have something released and it may be a while before I can get to the beta 1 installation issues. So check this out for the time being. I am going to be opening all alpha releases now for the public." Check out the distribution's home page to read the full announcement. Download: aresdesktop.iso (698MB).

Product Announcement: Ares Desktop |
|
Blue Linux and JAMD Linux have merged to create a new desktop Linux distribution called Ares Desktop: "In late 2003, the lead developers of two GNU/Linux Desktop distributions started talks on common design goals and the problems faced by smaller desktop vendors. Limited resources, limited developers, limited users and a high level of demand were just a few of the problems. Their solution was to merge their resources and create a new distribution aimed at their common target market. From these efforts Ares Desktop was born." The full press release. The first release of Ares Desktop is planned before the end of February; find out more at ares-linux.com.

White Box Enterprise Linux
What was the goal for White Box Linux? To provide an unencumbered RPM-based Linux distribution that retains enough compatibility with Red Hat Linux to allow easy upgrades and to retain compatibility with their errata SRPMs. Being based off of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3.0 means that a machine should be able to avoid the upgrade treadmill until October 2008 since RHEL promises errata availability for 5 years from date of initial release. Or more briefly, to fill the gap between Fedora and RHEL. Why was White Box Linux created? Its initial creation was sponsored by the Beauregard Parish Public Library in DeRidder, USA out of self interest. We have several servers and over 50 workstations running Red Hat Linux and were left high and dry by Red Hat's recent shift in business plan. Our choices were a difficult migration to another distribution or paying Red Hat an annual fee greater than the amortized value of our hardware. So we chose a third path, made possible by the power of open source.... White Box Linux.
