Sunil Vechalapu has announced the release of a major new update of FreedomBox, a Debian-based Linux distribution for private servers, with a web-based configuration utility. This is the project's first stable released based on Debian 13 "Trixie". (As the distribution's releases don't have version numbers, we took the liberty to use the date of the release as its version, so it's FreedomBox 2025-08-28.) "Debian 13 'Trixie' disk images now available. Debian made a new stable release 13 'Trixie' on August 9th, 2025. FreedomBox images with this release are now available. If you are making fresh installations, please use these images. Some notes: i386 architecture installations are no longer supported (by Debian and consequently FreedomBox); old installations should disable distribution upgrades; security updates will continue for a few more years; amd64 images now work with secure boot and only work with UEFI systems; iff you are using virtual machines or physical hardware, please enable UEFI booting; BIOS compatibility has been dropped." Here is the brief release announcement. Download (pkglist): freedombox-trixie_all-amd64.img.xz (738MB, signature, torrent), freedombox-trixie_all-arm64.img.xz (615MB, signature, torrent), freedombox-trixie_all-armhf.img.xz (573MB, signature, torrent). |
