Frugalware is a general purpose linux distribution, designed for intermediate users (who are not afraid of text mode).
We try to make Frugalware as simple as possible while not forgetting to keep it comfortable for the user. We try to ship fresh and stable software, as close to the original source as possible, because in our opinion most software is the best as is, and doesn’t need patching.

A short and incomplete list of changes since 1.1pre1:
Improvements:
An x86_64 flash plugin is now part of the default installation.
Just a FYI in case you are using the ext3 filesystem, which is our current default: though we ship the latest stable kernel, we did not switch the default value of the ‘data’ option to ‘writeback’, the feature which still makes ext3 seem more robust than ext4 at the time of writing. See here for more information.
