CRUX
CRUX is a lightweight, Linux distribution for computers running on 64-bit x86 processors. The distribution is targeted at experienced Linux users. The primary focus of this distribution is "keep it simple", which is reflected in a simple tar.gz-based package system, BSD-style initscripts, and a relatively small collection of trimmed packages. The secondary focus is utilization of new Linux features and recent tools and libraries.

Kaisen Linux is a rolling-release, Debian-based desktop distribution. The project's latest release, Kaisen Linux 1.7, introduces improved Btrfs support, replaces noatime flags with relatime, cleans out old dependencies which are no longer required, and updates the Linux kernel. "New Btrfs mount options for Kaisen Linux. Removal of the noatime option to allow the deletion of snapshots (replaced by the relatime option to limit disk writes). Removed gksu in favor of a polkit for graphical tool launchers. Removed unused dependencies on conkycolors. Added smilies support for OpenVPN client on all interfaces. Updated Linux to 5.10.46. Updated Firefox to version 88. Guests are now installed by kaisen-build via the common folder, and removed automatically by the installer depending on the environment in which Kaisen is installed (e.g. if you use VMWare you will only have VMWare guests installed, if you don't use any hypervisor, all guests will be removed). Tools for administrators categorized in several metapackages in order to install or uninstall only a part of the tools (e.g. just the DNS tools, or the GNS3 stack, SysOps tools and not the complete set)."

Distribution Release: Kaisen Linux 2.2 |
|
Kaisen Linux is a rolling release, Debian-based desktop distribution. The project aims to be useful for IT professionals and includes a set of tools for system administration. The project's latest release is version 2.2 and it rolls back or simplifies a few features: "zsh is no longer the default terminal for Kaisen Linux! It was since the first release of Kaisen Linux the default terminal, but the majority of users asked for the return of Bash by default, which has been done on this release. Several polls on the different social network pages have been done for this. However, it is still installed as it was before (with oh-my-zsh), and it is possible to reset it to the default. The documentation is here: ZSH on Kaisen Linux. The Conky theme is no longer installed by default with the GUIs, but is a separate package named kaisen-conky, which is no longer installed by default. The reason for this is that user feedback was not unanimous about the default presence of Conky on Kaisen Linux and therefore it is now considered a 'goodie' and can be installed optionally." Additional details can be found in the project's release announcement.

Distribution Release: Kaisen Linux 2.0 |
|
Kaisen Linux is a rolling release, Debian-based desktop distribution. the project has published Kaisen Linux 2.0 which moves the base to Debian's Testing (Bookworm) branch. The project has also dropped the LXDE interface for LXQt. "Kaisen is now based on Debian Bookworm (Debian 12), also justifying the version number change. Among the most important things done on this new release, a complete overhaul of the menu with new, nicer and more modern icons, simplification of the menu and removal of about 15 launchers among the basic commands (such as mount and umount for example), new implementation of Btrfs snapshot tools, new tools dedicated to Cloud engineers! Many new packages have been packaged for the distribution for this, software such as Terraform, Trivy, Kubernetes, k6, k9s... LXDE has been replaced by LXQt because it is more modern and more compatible with Kaisen configurations such as Conky (which is now unique for all interfaces). LXDE is still installable, but will no longer be provided by default via an ISO or installed via the net-install ISO. The kaisen-lxde metapackage will no longer be installable and will be removed from the repositories when Kaisen Linux is upgraded to 3.0. This will leave at least 1.5 years for users to migrate to another interface." Further details are available in the project's release announcement. Download (SHA256): kaisenlinuxrolling2.0-amd64-MATE.iso (4,118MB), kaisenlinuxrolling2.0-amd64-KDE.iso (4,519MB), kaisenlinuxrolling2.0-amd64-LXQT.iso (4,057MB). |
