First Release Candidate of Frugalware 1.7, a general purpose Linux operating system designed for intermediate users (who are not afraid of text mode), is now available for testing.
As usual, there are quite a few differences from the previous version, such as:
· Linux kernel 3.4.4; · KDE SC 4.8.4; · GCC 4.7.1; · GRUB2 bash completion has been fixed; · Installer now supports Btrfs as an experimental feature; · Installer now supports JFS; · grubconfig can now install itself to RAID1 mdadm and raw drives with a single option; · Some files that conflicted with QEMU have been removed; · Disk-stats build & runtime errors have been fixed.
A complete changelog is available here. Download Frugalware 1.7 RC1 right now from Softpedia. Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
