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.
The Frugalware Developer Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Frugalware 1.0pre2, the second technical preview of the upcoming 1.0 stable release.
A short and incomplete list of changes since 1.0pre1:
Improvements:
Setup: support for having /boot on a RAID1 device, improved support for detecting network card names.
Serial ports are now owned by the ‘dialout’ (instead of ‘uucp’) group, as a consensus with other distributions.
For virtualbox users who had to download the whole (~10MB) package again and again after each kernel update - it’s a good news that now the kernel module is a separate package to stop wasting bandwidth and time.
The Frugalware team would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. 2008 was a year of many major achievements, including new developers, new contributors, a GUI installer (fwife), more translations, and many new packages. We look forward to an equally successful 2009.
