Frugalware Linux 2.1 (Derowd) Released, Distro Designed for intermediate users
Frugalware is an open source distribution of Linux based one the popular and powerful Slackware Linux, but with some elements borrowed from the Arch Linux operating system. It contains almost all the important desktop environments, such as GNOME, KDE and Xfce.
The distro can be downloaded as installable-only DVDs for mainstream platforms
This independent operating system is available for download on Softpedia as two installable-only DVD ISO images of approximately 2GB in size each, one for each of the supported hardware platforms (32-bit/i386 and 64-bit/x86_64).
The Frugalware Developer Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Frugalware 2.1, our twentyfirst stable release.
Important notice: Frugalware provided a -stable and -current tree in the past. As our team shrinked quite a bit lately we lack the manpower to continue providing a,
secure and stable tree while provding bleeding edge and latest package in another. Therefore we decided to move all users to the -current tree.
For users not wanting that we will provide a static, not updated snapshot of the -current tree each time we do a release.
We also plan to release more often so this snapshots get updated faster.
Here are the most important changes since 2.0 in no particular order:
Package updates:
- Linux kernel 4.7.2
- Xorg server 1.18.4
- Mesa 12.0.1
- KDE (Plasma) 5.7.3
- GNOME 3.20.2
- LibreOffice 5.2.1.2
- Mozilla Firefox 48.0.2
- Chromium browser 52.0.2743.116
