Michael K. Johnson has announced the availability of a new alpha release of rPath Linux 2: "The fourth alpha snapshot toward rPath Linux 2 has been released. It is very different from all previous snapshots. It has been trimmed down into a smaller, more focused, better base for appliances: smaller kernel, smaller group of core software for an installed system. It is available in our new 'appliance installer' format, in which package selection is not enabled and installation is much faster and requires much less memory. It has a new compiler and toolchain, and has been completely rebuilt from source using the rMake build tool. In addition, it includes newer versions of many included software components."

A new version of Specifix Linux has been uploaded to mirrors: "Now available, Specifix Linux 0.7 (ALPHA) - Even More Alpha Than Before. This version is the first to use a 2.6 kernel and an updated anaconda code base. That makes this release much less tested than our previous versions. The following packages were added: ethereal, gnumeric, inkscape, libieee1284, libsigc++, tclx, xfsprogs, kernel, pyparted, system-config-mouse. Many packages have been updated, but most of the source-build number increases were due to updating upstream URLs. The binaries haven't changed dramatically." More information, including a list of download mirrors can be found in the announcement. Download: specifix-linux-0.7.iso (660MB).

Specifix is a Linux distribution developed by two former Red Hat engineers Kim Knuttila and Erik Troan. Specifix is still in early development, but regular snapshots are available for download and testing by interested parties. The latest release is version 0.6, released today: "The weekly snapshot of the distribution is now available. This build of the distribution uses Conary 0.8.0. As a result of the new changeset format, the ISO image is almost 60MB smaller than the 0.5 release, yet contains even more packages. That's a savings of almost 9%." Here is the rest of the announcement. Download: specifix-linux-0.6.iso (611MB). More information about Specifix is available on the distribution's web site, and also in these recently published reports by ComputerWorld and SD Times.
