NEW • Development Release: GoboLinux 015 Beta 3 |
Rate this project
|
Lucas C. Villa Real has announced that the third beta of GoboLinux 015, a distribution with a highly customised file system hierarchy, has been released. The biggest news is that Enlightenment has replaced KDE as the preferred desktop user interface. From the release announcement: "I am pleased to announce the release of GoboLinux 015 beta3. We have had several updates on this snapshot that include changes to the desktop environment (we have opted to ship the ISO with Enlightenment 18) and to the file system hierarchy (removal of /System/Links). Starting with this snapshot, we will no longer have support for a configurable superuser name. Borrowing Hisham's words: it was an interesting experiment, often fun, often annoying, often tiring. We stretched the boundaries of what's hardcoded and what's not in a Linux system, but as of 2014 it just takes too much effort to swim against the stream on that, for little to no practical gain. This snapshot also introduces a number of new packages that should enrich the desktop experience." Download link: GoboLinux-015_beta3-i686.iso (1,266MB, MD5). |

About GoboLinux
|
GoboLinux is a modular Linux distribution - it organizes the programs in a new, logical way. Instead of having parts of a program thrown at /usr/bin, other parts at /etc and yet more parts thrown at /usr/share/something/or/another, each program gets its own directory tree, keeping them all neatly separated and allowing the user to see everything that's installed in the system and which files belong to which programs in a simple and obvious way.

Distribution Release: GoboLinux 017 |
|
Lucas Villa Real has announced the release of GoboLinux 017, a new stable build of the project's independently-developed Linux distribution which departs from the standard UNIX filesystem hierarchy by replacing it with an database-like structure. The new GoboLinux also introduces a Homebrew-style package management and the latest version of the Awesome window manager: "We are pleased to present release 017 of GoboLinux, the Linux distribution featuring a re-thought file system structure. GoboLinux was created out of a desire to try new approaches in the Linux distribution design space. GoboLinux 017 continues this journey, with a focus on the exploration of novel ideas aiming to make the system simpler yet functional. The GoboLinux ISO image serves both as an installation disc and a Live environment, with a graphical desktop featuring Awesome WM. In fact, due to the modular nature of the GoboLinux filesystem, every program available in the image can be used directly from the Live environment - the work of the installer is to simply copy the user's selection to the destination partition (respecting dependency chains)."

Development Release: GoboLinux 017 Beta |
|
Lucas Villa Real has announced the availability of the first beta snapshot of GoboLinux 017, an independently-developed Linux distribution whose most interesting feature is the complete rewrite of the UNIX filesystem hierarchy. The new release upgrades numerous base packages, while it continues to use the Awesome window manager as the preferred graphical user interface: "This is the second preview of GoboLinux 017. It updates several system packages and features the following improvements over 017 alpha: a new model for recipe management based on Git - users can now submit pull requests on GitHub or use the revamped ContributeRecipe tool to automate that process; recipes contributed that way are made available to other users as soon as PRs are approved and the Compile tool is fully aware of that new workflow; migration of AbsTk (our widget toolkit) to Qt 5 - we have a graphical installer again; removal of FiboSandbox, as we have been depending on UnionSandbox for a long time; massive simplification of Scripts and Compile along with assorted bug fixes."

Development Release: GoboLinux 017 Alpha |
|
Lucas Villa Real has announced the availability of the initial development build of GoboLinux 017, an independently-developed distribution which attempts to redefine the UNIX filesystem hierarchy and turn it into a database-like format. From the release announcement: "This is the first preview of GoboLinux 017. This alpha snapshot is being released primarily so that the new boot process and the installer can be tested ahead of time - this means that the ISO image still features several outdated packages that were carried over from 016.01 (Firefox included). Those will be reviewed and refreshed over the coming weeks. Some of the changes that GoboLinux 017-alpha brings over 016.01 include: incorporation of an Initramfs for improved hardware compatibility; deprecation of Python 2, all GoboLinux tools featured in this ISO image have been ported to Python 3; removal of Libtool '.la' files for better source-based package management; support for the Meson build system on Compile; update toolchain to glibc 2.30, GCC 9.2.0, Binutils 2.33.1, and the kernel to version 5.4.15." The live ISO image comes with the Awesome window manager. Download (SHA256): GoboLinux-017-alpha-x86_64.iso (1,763MB, torrent, pkglist). |

While it features some essential package upgrades, this revision aims at providing a more stable foundation for those who want to try it out. The list of improvements over 016 is extensive. The following is a high level summary of what's new since 016: enabled support for Core2 processors; improved support for UEFI systems and virtualized platforms; improved detection of other operating systems when creating the GRUB configuration file; support for installation to external hard drives; fixes the SSL certificate paths; fixes SSL support in our Compile tool; fixes the /usr/libexec compatibility link; inclusion of CryptSetup to enable mounting of encrypted partitions from the live ISO image; inclusion of Listener, a daemon that automatically cleans up broken links when entries from /Programs are removed...."

Development Release: GoboLinux 016 Alpha |
|
Lucas Villa Real has announced the availability of the first alpha release of GoboLinux 016. GoboLinux is an unusual distribution as it comes with a highly customised (and perhaps more logical) file system hierarchy which differs substantially from the traditional UNIX layout. This new release is the project's first made for the x86_64 architecture and it features a minimalist desktop based on the Awesome window manager. "We are happy to announce the first preview of GoboLinux 016, the distro's first 64-bit release since its creation back in 2002. Some of the highlights include: Runner, our filesystem virtualization tool that dynamically changes the processes' view of /System/Index based on the program's Dependencies file - with that tool, one does not need to worry about which version of a given dependency is currently linked (or activated) on /System/Index; a minimalistic desktop based on the Awesome window manager; a focus on the exploration of novel ideas. You may find this snapshot less packed with packages, but it should be more fun to run!" Here is the full release announcement as published on the gobolinux-users mailing list.

This is the first version that had its preparation fully automated from scratch, which means that following the bug reports collected from you all, an ISO image for x86_64 will be also produced for a round of tests. This automation was possible thanks to the new GoboALFS project, which lies on the shoulders of jhalfs from Linux From Scratch. There are a few known issues with this snapshot which I would like to let you know beforehand: the Installer (especially its Qt0based GUI) has not been tested yet; KDE warnings related to MIME types; udisksd and upowerd are not automatically started by dbus...."

The Live CD experience was also severely improved: now you can run even KDE and OpenOffice.org without touching your hard disk. With the use of IsoLinux, most (maybe all) of the compatibility problems experienced when trying to boot the 006 CD on certain machines are solved. If you have a GoboLinux 006 running, you don't need to reinstall it. Use the GoboLinux006-007 conversion script to turn your system fully compatible with the new scripts and packages."

Probably, after this weekend, it will in fact be it. Check it out at downloads page. Hardware detection was not included on this version (but in 008, it will be there). This release contains a complete system (KDE, OpenOffice, GIMP, etc.) that can be run even without any installation (KNOPPIX-like). For more information join the mailing list." Download: GoboLinux-007rc1-i686.iso" (628MB). GoboLinux is an alternative Linux distribution which redefines the entire filesystem hierarchy; read more.
