Distribution Release: Plamo Linux 6.2 |
|
Plamo Linux, which was launched back in 1997 as a Japanese language extension for Slackware Linux, is one of the world's oldest surviving distributions of Linux. Its development continues two decades later with the release of version 6.2. Originally tagged at the Open Source Conference (OSC) Tokyo Spring last month, it was finally published yesterday in the form of installable ISO images for three architectures. The most important change in Plamo Linux 6.2 is the switch from mkisofs to GNU xorriso while building the DVD images; this means support for booting on UEFI-enabled systems as well as the ability to transfer the ISO file to USB devices with dd or cat. The distribution offers three desktop environments - KDE 4.14.3, MATE 1.12.1 and Xfce 4.12.0. Some of the most important software upgrades in this release include: ALSA 1.1.1, Firefox 51.0, LibreOffice 5.2.5, OpenSSH 7.4p1, PHP 7.1.1, Samba 4.4.2 and Thunderbird 45.7.0, among others. Here is the brief release announcement, with further information available in the changelog (both links in Japanese). The installation DVD images are available for arm, x86 and x86_64 architectures; download links: plamo-6.2_x86_64_dvd.iso (3,395MB, MD5, pkglist), plamo-6.2_x86_dvd.iso (3,374MB, MD5), plamo-6.2_arm_sd.img (768MB, MD5). |

Distribution Release: Plamo Linux 6.0 |
|
Plamo Linux 6.0 has been released. Plamo Linux, one of the oldest Japanese distributions, is loosely modelled on Slackware Linux and is designed for more experienced Linux users. The version number upgrade reflects the distribution's move to the new Linux kernel 4.x series, but in all other respects it's a routine release made available for the occasion of this weekend's OpenStack Summit in Tokyo. Some of the more interesting package upgrades in Plamo's latest version include: a switch to Linux kernel 4.2.3; upgrade to MATE 1.10 desktop environment; updated Mozilla packages - Firefox 41.0.2 and Thunderbird 38.3.0; move to X.Org Server 1.17.2 and MESA 10.6.7; upgrade to LibreOffice 5.0.2 office suite. Plamo Linux 6.0 also includes a new "get_pkginfo" command which compares any locally installed packages with the official ones available on Plamo's FTP servers. The installation DVD, which is a hybrid DVD/USB image, comes with improved UEFI/GPT support. Read the complete release announcement (in Japanese) for further details. Download the installation DVD image from here: plamo-6.0_x86_64_dvd.iso (3,532MB, MD5, pkglist). |
