Linux From Scratch 7.0 RC1 Released

August 31, 2011 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Linux From Scratch 7.0 RC1 has been released.

The Linux From Scratch community is pleased to announce the release of
LFS Version 7.0-rc1. This is the first release candidate on the road to
LFS-7.0. It includes numerous changes to LFS-6.8 (including updates to
Linux-3.0.4, GCC-4.6.1, and Glibc-2.14).

A somewhat major change was made in this version of the book by adding a
new top level directory, /run. This directory has a tmpfs mounted and is
used by programs like udev to store run time information. The
directories /var/run and /var/lock are also linked to this directory.
The bootscripts have been updated to accomodate this change. The
bootscripts have also been modified to place supporting scripts in
/lib/boot.

Note that the changes in the bootscripts will probably affect BLFS
bootscripts that have not yet been updated.

Changes to the book also include editorial work on the explanatory
material, improving both the clarity and accuracy of the text. We would
encourage all users to read through this release of the book and test
the instructions so that we can make the final release as good as possible.

You can read the book online at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/7.0-rc1/, or download to read
locally from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/7.0-rc1/.

Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 Released

August 30, 2011 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 has been released.

Puppy’s goals
  • Easily install to USB, Zip or hard drive media.
  • Booting from CD (or DVD), the CD drive is then free for other purposes.
  • Booting from CD (or DVD), save everything back to the CD.
  • Booting from USB Flash drive, minimise writes to extend life indefinitely.
  • Extremely friendly for Linux newbies.
  • Boot up and run extraordinarily fast.
  • Have all the applications needed for daily use.
  • Will just work, no hassles.
  • Will breathe new life into old PCs
  • Load and run totally in RAM for diskless thin stations

These are extraordinary goals, yet Puppy comes close to achieving them all. The fundamental reason is that Puppy has been built from scratch, file-by-file, and is not based on any other Linux distribution. One of the most amazing features of Puppy is the range of powerful applications yet such tiny size …and the speed.

Before downloading, please read the release notes.
In the ibiblio.org and mirrors, linked below, please look in the ‘puppy-5.2.8′ folder for files to download…
