GARNOME 2.11.90

Linux 2912 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

GARNOME 2.11.90 has been released:

This release incorporates all of the GNOME 2.11.90 (aka. Beta 1) Desktop and Developer Platform, including glib/gtk+ 2.7.x and cairo.

This release has also had a little more polish to ensure that the build system builds and links against things in your GARNOME directory, and not your system one, hopefully cutting down on errors relating to pesky '.la files' that some distributions insist on shipping in their -devel packages.

For extra excitement this time, you'll need cairo from cvs, or the snapshot available here: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/platform/2.11/2.11.90/

This is less than ideal, but at least it allows us to test GNOME tarballs that require it. Cairo 0.6.0 is expected very soon.

Damn Small Linux 1.3

Linux 2912 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Damn Small Linux 1.3 has been released:

DSL is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution.

Damn Small is small enough and smart enough to do the following things:
- Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution (LiveCD)
- Boot from a USB pen drive
- Boot from within a host operating system (that's right, it can run *inside* Windows)
- Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"
- Transform into a Debian OS with a traditional hard drive install
- Run light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram
- Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how fast your computer can be!)
- Modularly grow -- DSL is highly extendable without the need to customize

CentOS-4/alpha 4.1beta

Linux 2912 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

CentOS-4/alpha 4.1beta has been released. Here the announcement:

I've always been kind of on/off with alpha. Remember making some kind of debian/alpha installer back -97ish. Lately (like past 2 years), i've been compiling SRPMS on alpha too from time to time.

Most of my alpha hardware was pretty much ancient crap, so i wasn't quite confident pushing anything out to public as i wasn't able to test even if EV6 would be ok. Little over week ago i got a AlphaServer ES45, which was the turning point on this all (i thank you whom gave me this box once again even tho i cannot reveal any names).

There is lot to personally thank for AlphaCore project as some of the patches i got directly from that work, would have been nasty for me to spot out. I just don't feel that building FC3 for alpha is enought and will be long term maintainable.
