Thierry Nuttens has announced the availability of a new version of the NuTyX distribution. NuTyX is based on Linux From Scratch (LFS) and features a custom software manager called "cards". The new release, NuTyX 9.0, features some of the latest software (Linux 4.10, Plasma 5.9, GNOME 3.22, MATE 1.16 and Python 3.6) and now supports booting on UEFI-enabled hardware. "The new ISOs can be launch on UEFI machines If you have a UEFI compatible computer, you can now install NuTyX in UEFI mode. If it's your case, the installer will guide the user to make the right choices during installation and the UEFI will take care of booting the machine, no other boot managers are needed by default. It is up to the end user to decide or not for choosing one if needed. You can find a tutorial, how to install on UEFI machines, on the web page documentation and on YouTube channel. ISO can be loaded 100% in memory if the target computer has more then 1GB of RAM. The USB key can then be disconnected and then make the single USB port available. Useful when you want to install NuTyX on tablets having one single USB port." Additional information can be found in the project's release announcement.

Distribution Release: NuTyX 26.02.2 |
 |
The NuTyX distribution has published a new version, 26.02.2, which switches the default init software from SysV to systemd. "Spiky and me are happy to announce the new version of NuTyX 26.02.2 and cards 3.4.3. SysV is at the end of its life, only one initialization system - systemd; switching from SysV to systemd without reinstalling is not a good idea; NuTyX SysV maintained until the end of 2026; three ISO image graphics - Xfce, GNOME and KDE; one basic non-graphic ISO image for professionals. After nearly 19 years, NuTyX slowly abandoned the SysV init system developed more than 40 years ago (1983). This means concretely that only the following packages will continue to receive updates until December 2026: the Linux kernels, note that Linux kernels 5.10, 5.15, 6.6 and 6.12 also come to the end of their lives in December 2026; Firefox and Thunderbird; Discord and Telegram; Xfce 4.20; security updates. Now, the distribution focuses on a single init system - systemd. The two main desktops, GNOME and KDE, will soon no longer be operational under SysV." The project's release announcement recommends performing a fresh install of NuTyX to handle the migration from SysV to systemd.

KRUD
KRUD was a Linux Distribution which tracks Red Hat Linux. It was updated every month, and was available by CD and CD Subscription. KRUD was based on a complete Red Hat Linux install with all of the errata and updates included, plus extra packages added in by Kevin of tummy.com. We've been making KRUD since 1999. We do it because it saves us time, and it makes updating our systems easier. We'd like you to try it because it will do the same for you.
