DragonFly BSD
DragonFly is an operating system and environment designed to be the logical continuation of the FreeBSD-4.x OS series. These operating systems belong in the same class as Linux in that they are based on UNIX ideals and APIs. DragonFly is a fork in the path, so to speak, giving the BSD base an opportunity to grow in an entirely new direction from the one taken in the FreeBSD-5 series.

An updated release candidate for a new version of TinyMe Linux, a mini-distribution based on Unity Linux, is available for download and testing: "TinyMe 'Acorn' i586 release candidate 2010.08.20 has made its way into the world! Previous issues forced a do-over, using the Unity 2010.1 i586 release as a starting point. The versioning scheme switched to a date-based system. Gzip compression is used on the LiveCD instead of LZMA. Although TinyMe comes as a small, 250 MB ISO image, it provides tools for most every-day wants and needs: Linux kernel 2.6.33.6, SLiM logs you in, DeadBeef audio player, AbiWord word processor, Midori web browser.... Openbox is the session and window manager, Nitrogen manages the wallpaper, and LXPanel provides the panel." Read the rest of the release notes for a complete changelog and a list of known issues. Download the live CD image from here: TinyMe-Acorn-RC-2010.08.20.i586.iso (244MB, MD5).

Development Release: TinyMe 2009 Alpha 3 |
|
The third alpha build of TinyMe 2009, a minimalist desktop distribution based on Unity Linux (a fork of PCLinuxOS) is now available for testing: "TinyMe 2009 'Acorn' Alpha 3. TinyMe is a Unity-based distribution targeted at older computers and people who want a very light and fast desktop environment. There are two ISOs being made available. One is compressed with gzip and the other with LZMA. The method of compression is the only difference between the two ISOs. While LZMA has a higher rate of compression, I have been informed it is not as nice on memory usage. I would strongly appreciate it if people would download both ISOs, burn them both, test both on as old a machine as they can." Here is the full release announcement. Download: TinyMe-2009-Alpha-3.i586.GZIP.iso (243MB, MD5).

Development Release: TinyMe 2009 Alpha 1 |
|
The first alpha release of TinyMe 2009, a minimalist Linux distribution based on PCLinuxOS, is now ready for testing: "It's time for the first alpha of what will become TinyMe 2009 'Acorn'. We've decided that our former naming scheme was too confusing to people and so from now the larger release will be called 'Acorn' (or a translation of that) and the smaller release will continue to be called 'Droplet'. What's different from TinyMe 2008.0? Linux kernel 2.6.26.8; LZMA compression on the live CD; LXPanel now conforms to PCLinuxOS menu system; drives are now identified by UUID rather than /dev/xxx; added Osmo, a personal information manager; added Hv3 as an alternative browser alongside Opera; removed XArchiver as PCManFM has (de)compression abilities already built in; removed gFTP and GThumb; SLiM instead of GDM." Read the rest of the release notes for further details. Download: TinyMe-2009-Acorn-Alpha-1.i586.iso (186MB, MD5).

Development Release: TinyMe 2008.1 Beta 1 |
|
The first beta release of TinyMe 2008.1, a minimalist distribution based on PCLinuxOS, is now ready for testing: "The first beta for TinyMe 2008.1 has been unleashed! While TinyMe 2008.0 was a great release, we're trying to make TinyMe even smaller. Thus, TinyMe 2008.1 is an effort to try to get TinyMe down to a bare-bones 150 MB ISO image. What's new for this test release? Live CD size is down to target size; switched from GDM to SLiM; put some of the artwork in place; a lot of wireless and networking stuff has been put back in. What still needs to be done? Fill in any missing wireless drivers; get keyboard selection on live CD boot to come back; re-instate TinyCC; get GRUB splash and bootsplash artwork in place; look at 2.6.22.x kernel." Read the rest of the release announcement for more details. Download: TinyMe-2008.1.beta-1.i586.iso (149MB, MD5).
