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 0.7, our seventh stable release.
No new features have been added since 0.7rc2, but more than 150 changes have been made to fix minor bugs. If you didn’t follow the changes during the pre/rc releases, here are the most important changes since 0.6:
Up to date base system: Linux kernel 2.6.22.9, Glibc 2.6.1 and GCC 4.2.1 Up to date desktop packages: KDE 3.
The Frugalware Developer Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Frugalware 0.7pre2, the second technical preview of the upcoming 0.7 stable release.
A short and incomplete list of changes since 0.7pre1:
New features: New graphical configuration tool, Gnetconfig to tweak your network settings. Setup now puts the installer log to the target system, so that the log is not lost. The default timezone and keyboard layout is now language-dependent.

Unfortunately we lost our i686 buildserver. But we have changed our main server to a stronger one, so now we have a quiet good machine. Without any hard disks. So we’d like to ask our users to donate us. Till the i686 buildserver is not working, the current repo is not in sync with the x86_64 one.
