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 0.1rc1, the first release candidate of the 0.1 release.
For a list of improvements since the beginning, please refer to the Frugalware Change Log.
Frugalware 0.1rc1 can be downloaded by visiting the download page.
Two arcticles are published about Frugalware Linux. The first is an interview on jox.hu, a hungarian IT page. The article is available from here (only in Hungarian). The second is on Distrowatch.com. The Distrowatch staff chose the Frugalware Linux to the “Featured distribution of the week”. They spent some time to install and evaluate other, well-known Linux distributions and decided to give our distro that title. You can read this article here.
