Phil C has announced the release of Skywave Linux 5.10.0, a specialist live Linux distribution configured for connecting to internet-accessible software defined radio (SDR) receivers. It is based on Debian's "Unstable" branch and uses the dwm window manager. "Skywave Linux has been upgraded to version 5.10, bringing some software changes, a kernel upgrade and bug fixes: Linux kernel 6.18.5, with the XanMod efficiency and speed tweaks; adjustments to Tor-Remote and Tor-Controller scripts; added I2P darknet access using Purple/i2pd; adjustments to the Neovim LSP configuration; Neovim plugins have been upgraded; Qtel, the Echolink client, has been removed; upgraded the dwm window manager dwm-flexipatch to version 6.6; updated satellites and transponders for Gpredict and SatDump; expanded the scope of the KiwiSDR list to include OpenWebRX sites; the theme for this upgrade cycle was 'Delegate more to systemd and reduce manual interventions'. I have cleaned out the user's dot profile and xinit files, moving environmental variables to the user's .config directory, for handling by systemd. I also deleted the code which forcefully set the screen dots per inch, based on specs detected by X11. Fonts and application windows are now more consistently sized across more diverse hardware." Continue to the release announcement for further details. Download (SHA256): skywavelinux-5.10.0.iso (4,154MB, pkglist). |

3CX Phone System is a specialist, Debian-based Linux distribution designed to run a complete unified communications platform. The 3CX client, included in the distribution, can also be installed separately on most hardware as well as the cloud. It provides a complete open standards-based IP PBX and phone system that works with popular SIP trunks and IP phones. It will automatically configure all supported peripherals and it also comes with clients for Windows, OS X, iOS and Android. The ISO image includes a free license for the 3CX PBX edition. The ISO image contains the standard Debian installer which installs a minimal system with the nginx web server, PostgreSQL database, iptables firewall and Secure Shell. Options not relevant to 3CX have been removed from the distribution. Download the installation ISO image from here: debian-amd64-netinst-3cx.iso (628MB). |

Linux From Scratch
Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with the steps necessary to build your own custom Linux system. There are a lot of reasons why somebody would want to install an LFS system. The question most people raise is "why go through all the hassle of manually installing a Linux system from scratch when you can just download an existing distribution like Debian or Redhat". That is a valid question which I hope to answer for you. The most important reason for LFS's existence is teaching people how a Linux system works internally. Building an LFS system teaches you about all that makes Linux tick, how things work together, and depend on each other. And most importantly, how to customize it to your own taste and needs.
