|
A developement preview of White Box Enterprise Linux (WBEL) 4 has been released: "A preview of WBEL4 is currently available via BitTorrent. It is believed to be feature complete except for the inclusion of the yum configuration info to allow updating. Since there isn't yet a download tree for 4 on the mirrors this isn't really an issue for testing yet. This release is i386 only because the x86_64 building has only just begun. There are a few small details left: as an RC, I didn't bother to GPG sign anything; the artwork is trademark clean but lame in several places, this is being worked on...." Visit the distribution's news page to read the rest of the announcement. The 4-CD ISO image set can be obtained via BitTorrent: manifestdestiny-rc1-binary-i386.torrent (2,417MB).

| About White Box
|
| What is 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.

Distribution Release: White Box Enterprise Linux 4 Respin 2 |
|
John Morris has announced the release of White Box Enterprise Linux 4 Respin 2, a distribution built from the source code for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4: "White Box Enterprise Linux 4 Respin 2 is now available for download. This covers Update 5 from upstream plus a few errata released since. The recent OpenOffice.org and OpenOffice.org 2 updates are included. The previous policy of skipping every other Update from upstream is being reconsidered in light of the year gap it has caused. Every quarter was a bit often for me to respin, annually seems a mite too far in the other direction." Here is the brief release announcement. The 4-CD set can be downloaded from these FTP/HTTP mirrors, while the DVDs are only available via BitTorrent: manifestdestiny-...-dvd-i386.iso (2,721MB), manifestdestiny-...-dvd-x86_64.iso (2,992MB).

Distribution Release: White Box Enterprise Linux 4 Respin 1 |
|
John Morris has announced the release of White Box Enterprise Linux 4 Respin 1, the first update to version 4 of the distribution re-built from source RPM packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux: "White Box Enterprise Linux 4 Respin 1 is now available via both BitTorrent and FTP/HTTP. As with the original release, both i386 and x86_64 platforms are supported. This release catches up all errata through April 28. Other than errata, the only significant change is the start of renaming Firefox to IceWeasel. This is in response to a conversation last year with the legal contact at the Mozilla Foundation." Here is the full release announcement. The 4-CD image sets for both i386 and x86_64 architectures are available for download from a number of FTP and HTTP mirrors.
