siduction
The siduction distribution is a desktop-oriented operating system and live medium based on the "unstable" branch of Debian GNU/Linux. Forked from aptosid in late 2011, siduction offers many separate live media with a range of desktop environments. The project also promises regular releases, an open development model, and friendly relationship with its developer and user community.

Rate this project
|
T2 SDE is an open-source system development environment. T2 allows the creation of custom distributions with bleeding-edge technology. The project's latest release, version 21.4, expands T2 SDE to support 15 CPU architectures, including ARM, PowerPC, RISCV, SPARC64, and x86_64. The project has also upgraded development packages and libraries, including the GNU compiler and Rust. Hardware support has been expanded by including version 5.11 of the Linux kernel. "Today the T2 System Development Environment Linux 21.4 was released, with the largest amount of pre- and cross-compiled set of architectures releases ever! A total of 15 architectures: x86-64, x86, arm64, arm, riscv64, riscv, ppc64le, ppc64-32, ppc sparc64, mips64, mipsel, hppa, m68k, alpha and ia64! The 21.4 release received updates across the board, while a major working target was adding new architecture support for RISCV(32), as further improving cross compilation and support for vintage retro system like the Sony PS3 and Sgi Octane, but also DEC Alpha and Intel IA64. Low memory optimizations allow the 32-bit x86 variant to boot on 486 with as little as 48MB of RAM." Information on this release can be found on the project's home page. Download: t2-21.4-x86-64-minimal-desktop-gcc-glibc.iso (722MB, SHA1, pkglist). |

| About T2
|
| T2 is an open-source system development environment (or distribution build kit if you are more familiar with that term). T2 allows the creation of custom distributions with bleeding-edge technology. Currently, the Linux kernel is normally used, but the project is expanding to Hurd, OpenDarwin and OpenBSD. T2 started as a community driven fork from the ROCK Linux Project with the aim to create a decentralised development and a clean framework for spin-off projects and customised distributions.

Distribution Release: T2 SDK 24.5 |
|
T2 SDE is an open-source system development environment (or distribution build kit if you are more familiar with that term). T2 allows the creation of custom distributions with bleeding-edge technology. The project's latest release, version 24.5, runs on 25 CPU architectures and includes updates to the Linux kernel, GNOME, and KDE Plasma. "T2 24.5 was released as a major milestone release not only including the latest and greatest Linux kernel, GCC, LLVM / Clang, Glibc, Musl, uClibc, X.org, Mesa3D, but also the KDE and GNOME desktop packages updated and fixed to finally mostly cross compile. While at it, we also undeleted IA-64 Itanium support! A total of 36 pre-compiled base install ISOs for various Glibc, Musl and uClibc combinations are available for for 25 CPU ISAs: Alpha, Arc, ARM(64), Avr32, HPPA(64), IA64, Loongarch64, M68k, Microblaze, MIPS(64), Nios2, OpenRISC, PowerPC(64), RISCV(64), s390x, SPARC(64), SuperH, i486, i686, x86-64 and x32. On most architectures the release still boots with 512MB of RAM or even less, and are on average just one GB in size. Most vintage Xorg drivers were fixed to actually work again. The rolling release is updated using the scripted source build system and thus optimized for the native system CPU." Additional details can be found in the release announcement and in the release notes. Source and binary packages can be found on the project's download page. |
