This thread is for tracking the development of the 4MLinux 38 series.
4MLinux 38.0 Core BETA released.
This is a core system (only about 15 MB in size) for the 4MLinux 38 series. The system includes: the Linux kernel 5.10.47, GNU C Library 2.33, and BusyBox 1.33.1. The 4MLinux 38 series uses GNU Compiler Collection 10.3.0 to compile programs designed for the x86_64 architecture.
Despite its extremely small size, 4MLinux Core supports both BIOS and UEFI boot modes.
4MLinux 38.0 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.
Road map:
August 2021 -> BETA
November 2021 -> STABLE
March 2022 -> OLD STABLE
July 2022 -> 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 38.0-0.104.0 is based on 4MLinux 38.0 BETA and ClamAV 0.104.0.
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 38.0.
This is a major release based on the 4MLinux Server 38.0, meaning that the components of the LAMP server are now: Linux 5.10.79, Apache 2.4.51, MariaDB 10.6.4, and PHP (both 5.6.40 and 7.4.25).
You can update your TheSSS by executing the "zk update" command (fully automatic process).
The status of the 4MLinux 38.0 series has been changed to STABLE. Edit your documents with LibreOffice 7.2.3.2 and GNOME Office (AbiWord 3.0.5, GIMP 2.10.28, Gnumeric 1.12.50), share your files using DropBox 133.4.4089, surf the Internet with Firefox 94.02 and Chromium 93.0.4577.82, send emails via Thunderbird 91.3.2, enjoy your music collection with Audacious 4.1, watch your favorite videos with VLC 3.0.16 and mpv 0.33.1, play games powered by Mesa 21.1.6 and Wine 6.19. You can also setup the 4MLinux LAMP Server (Linux 5.10.79, Apache 2.4.51, MariaDB 10.6.4, PHP 5.6.40 and PHP 7.4.25). Perl 5.32.1, Python 2.7.18, and Python 3.9.4 are also available.
As always, the new major release has some new features. The following applications are now available out of the box: Audacity (audio editor), GQmpeg (music player), GRUB2 (boot loader), Minitube (YouTube player), Musique (audio player), wxCam (webcam application), xmp (command-line mod player). Basic support for 32-bit applications is now also included. PHP in the 4MLinux Server comes with the improved image handling via an external GD Graphics Library. And finally, the 4MLinux GamePack is now available as a downloadable extension. It includes a big collection of classic Linux games.
This is a minor (point) release based on the 4MLinux Server 38.1, meaning that the components of the LAMP server are now: Linux 5.10.90, Apache 2.4.52, MariaDB 10.6.5, and PHP (both 5.6.40 and 7.4.27).
You can update your TheSSS by executing the "zk update" command (fully automatic process).
This is a minor (point) release in the 4MLinux STABLE channel, which comes with the Linux kernel 5.10.90. The 4MLinux Server now includes Apache 2.4.52, MariaDB 10.6.5, and PHP 7.4.27 (see this post for more details).
