Bogdan Radulescu announced the availability of the final version of NimbleX 2008, a Slackware-based mini distribution: "This version gets significant cleanups since NimbleX 2008RC, Bluetooth finally works OK, some improvements to the USB installer, significant changes on how NimbleX boots from remote locations (PXE & HTTP), several bug fixes, updates and several other things. I managed to make NimbleX a little slimmer and I also managed to squeeze in the latest VirtualBox so that people can run/test other OSs inside NimbleX. Partimage was added so you can easily clone disks and partitions with NimbleX thus resulting in some mass deployment functionality when users know their way around Linux. I guess here a small tutorial will be posted at some point..." Read the full release announcement for more information. Download (MD5): NimbleX-2008.iso (200MB).

Development Release: NimbleX 2010 Beta |
|
Bogdan Radulescu has announced the availability of a beta release of NimbleX 2010, a Slackware-based live CD with KDE 4: "After a long wait, a new NimbleX version is finally out. Many things have changed, hopefully for the better in the long run. First of all, after about 5 years, the idea of keeping it limited to less than 200 MB was dropped. There is a lot more in the distro right now so it should make the user experience better. Even though almost everything is new, we can still say the major changes include: Linux kernel 2.6.33 with the latest Squashfs and Aufs 2; X.Org Server 1.7.5; new applications - OpenOffice.org instead of KOffice, a lot more of the KDE Games, GIMP, VirtualBox, Firefox, Transmission, GParted and other applications where updated to the latest versions; new desktop environment - KDE 4 is now mature enough to provide an overall better user experience." Read the full release announcement for more details. Download the live CD image from here: NimbleX-2010_Beta.iso (401MB).
