PelicanHPC GNU Linux
PelicanHPC was a Debian-based live CD image with a goal to make it simple to set up a high performance computing cluster. The front-end node (either a real computer or a virtual machine) boots from the CD image. The compute nodes boot by Pre-Execution Environment (PXE), using the front-end node as the server. All of the nodes of the cluster get their file systems from the same CD image, so it was guaranteed that all nodes run the same software. The CD image was created by running a single script, which makes it possible to customise the live CD image with extra Debian packages.

NEW • Development Release: NetBSD 7.0-RC3 |
Rate this project
|
Soren Jacobsen has announced the availability of a new NetBSD 7.0 release candidate. The new development release, NetBSD 7.0-RC3, offers users a number of new features, particularly for people who run small hobbyist computers like the Raspberry Pi. "On behalf of the NetBSD release engineering team, it is my distinct pleasure to announce that the third release candidate of NetBSD 7.0 is now available for download. As the old Schoolhouse Rock song tells us, three is a magic number. We're hoping that RC3 will be the magic/last release candidate of 7.0. Some of the changes since 7.0_RC2 are: Add a resize_root boot operation (disabled by default). If resize_root=YES in rc.conf then the system attempts to resize the root file system to fill its partition prior to mounting read-write. Enable SMP on Raspberry Pi 2. evbarm: Rename beagleboard.img to armv7.img. The new image includes the same kernels as beagleboard.img plus support for Raspberry Pi 2, ODROID-C1, Cubieboard2, Cubietruck, Hummingbird A31, and Banana Pi. evbarm: For armv7.img and rpi.img, enable support for auto-growing the SD card root file system..." More details are available in the project's release announcement. Installation images for NetBSD's many supported architectures can be found on the project's servers. Here are quick links to the amd64 and i386 images (MD5): NetBSD-7.0_RC3-amd64.iso (372MB), NetBSD-7.0_RC3-i386.iso (405MB). |

Development Release: NetBSD 10.0 BETA |
|
NetBSD is a lightweight and highly portable operating system. Following three years of development, the NetBSD project has published a development snapshot for their upcoming 10.0 release: "While NetBSD 10.0 is expected to be a major milestone on performance, especially on multi-core systems, currently the BETA builds have some extra kernel diagnostics enabled that may reduce performance somewhat. Among the features you can expect to find in NetBSD 10 are reworked cryptography, including compatibility with WireGuard, automatic swap encryption, new disk encryption methods, and CPU acceleration in the kernel. In hardware support, there are updated GPU drivers from Linux 5.6, support for more ARM hardware (including Rockchip RK356X, NXP i.MX 8M, Amlogic G12¸ Apple M1, and Raspberry Pi 4), support for new security features found in the latest ARM CPUs, and support for Realtek 2.5 gigabit and new Intel 10/25/40 gigabit ethernet adapters. compat_linux has been ported to AArch64 and DTrace has been ported to MIPS. For retrocomputing enthusiasts, there's improved multiprocessor support on Alpha, and more iMac G5 support. The Xen hypervisor support has received a major rework." Additional information is provided in the project's release announcement. Download (SHA512, pkglist): NetBSD-10.0_BETA-amd64.iso (562MB), NetBSD-10.0_BETA-i386.iso (712MB). |

BSD Release: NetBSD 9.0 |
|
The developers of NetBSD, a highly portable operating system that runs across over two dozen CPU architectures, have published a new release. The new version, NetBSD 9.0, improves support for 64-bit ARM processors, introduces kernel ASLR, and improves ZFS support. "Sixth months after the start of the release engineering process, NetBSD 9.0 is now available. Since the start of the release process a lot of improvements went into the branch - over 700 pullups were processed! This includes usbnet (a common framework for USB Ethernet drivers), aarch64 stability enhancements and lots of new hardware support, installer/sysinst fixes and changes to the NVMM (hardware virtualization) interface. We hope this will lead to the best NetBSD release ever (only to be topped by NetBSD 10 - hopefully later this year). Here are a few highlights of the new release: Support for Arm AArch64 (64-bit Armv8-A) machines, including "Arm ServerReady" compliant machines (SBBR+SBSA). Enhanced hardware support for Armv7-A. Updated GPU drivers (e.g. support for Intel Kabylake). Enhanced virtualization support." Further details can be found in the project's release announcement.

Development Release: NetBSD 9.0 RC2 |
|
Martin Husemann has announced the availability of the second (and possibly final) release candidate for NetBSD 9.0: "Sixth months after the start of the release engineering process for 9.0, the second (and most likely final) release candidate is now available. Shortly after the first release candidate had been published and feedback came in, it became clear that this was not going to be the final state of 9.0. In the end a lot of fixes were done, but we used the opportunity to also incorporate more hardware support (Pinebook Pro) and update a few components (dhcpcd, OpenSSL). We will be very restrictive with further changes and expect a quick and smooth release from this point on. Tentative release date is February 14, 2020. Since the start of the release process a lot of improvements went into the branch - nearly 700 pullups were processed. This includes usbnet (a common framework for USB ethernet drivers), aarch64 stability enhancements and lots of new hardware support, installer/sysinst fixes and changes to the NVMM (hardware virtualization) interface."
