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 team would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. 2009 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 2010.
The Frugalware team would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, we hope you can enjoy the best of this time of year, while avoiding the worst. :)

The Frugalware Developer Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Frugalware 1.0pre1, the first technical preview of the upcoming 1.0 stable release.
A short and incomplete list of changes since 0.9:
Improvements: The first Frugalware Installer Front-End landed in the package repository. Yes, a graphical one! This means currently you can use it to bootstrap a new Frugalware system from an existing one, but we promise we’ll improve in this area.
If you follow the nVidia news, you probably know that there is a new legacy driver. Basically all the support for the FX cards is dropped in the mainline package and is left in a new legacy package.
The new legacy driver is now available as nvidia-173xx, and the latest nvidia package is also available. So please check your card status and update to the nvidia-173xx package if needed before reporting that X doesn’t start anymore.

If you update to Solaria, it will also fix the following vulnerabilities:
