This thread is for tracking the development of the 4MLinux 26 series.
4MLinux 26.0 Core BETA released.
This is a core system (only about 10 MB in size) for the 4MLinux 26 series. The system includes: the Linux kernel 4.14.39, GNU C Library 2.27, and BusyBox 1.28.1. The 4MLinux 26 series uses GNU Compiler Collection 7.3.0 to compile programs designed for the i686 architecture.
Despite its extremely small size, 4MLinux Core supports all possible boot options: BIOS with 32-bit CPU, BIOS with 64-bit CPU, UEFI with 32-bit firmware, and UEFI with 64-bit firmware.
4MLinux 26.0 BETA is ready for testing. Basically, at this stage of development, 4MLinux BETA has the same features as 4MLinux STABLE, but it provides a huge number of updated packages, including major changes in the core of the system, which now uses the GNU C Library 2.27 and the GNU Compiler Collection 7.3.0.
Road map:
June 2018 -> BETA
September 2018 -> STABLE
December 2018 -> OLD STABLE
March 2019 -> EOL
Antivirus Live CD is an official 4MLinux fork including the ClamAV scanner. It's designed for users who need a lightweight live CD, which will help them to protect their computers against viruses. The latest version 26.0-0.100.0 is based on 4MLinux 26.0 BETA and ClamAV 0.100.0.
BakAndImgCD is an official 4MLinux fork, which has been designed to perform the following two tasks: data backup and disk imaging. The 4MLinux Backup Scripts make use of FSArchiver, GNU ddrescue, Partclone, Partimage, rsync, and other utilities. The output files (archives and images) can be optionally compressed and sent to a remote sever (using Ethernet, WiFi, PPP or PPPoE). This release is based on the 4MLinux Backup Scripts 26.0.
This is a major release based on the 4MLinux Server 26.0, meaning that the components of the LAMP server are now: Linux 4.14.64, Apache 2.4.34, MariaDB 10.3.9, and PHP (both 5.6.37 and 7.2.9).
