4MLinux developer Zbigniew Konojacki‏ informs Softpedia about the availability for download of the TheSSS (The Smallest Server Suite) 23.2 GNU/Linux operating system.

A minor update to the 23.0 stable series, TheSSS 23.2 is here about three weeks after version 23.1 to update a few core components of its built-in LAMP (Linux, Apache, MariaDB, and PHP) server. Therefore, the live system now runs Linux kernel 4.9.69 LTS, Apache 2.4.29, MariaDB 10.2.11, and PHP 7.0.26.

PHP 5.6.32 is installed as well to provide users with extra compatibility for older PHP5 scripts, and TheSSS 23.2 also ships with the latest OpenSSL 1.0.2n commercial-grade Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) toolkit and Stunnel 5.44 proxy tool.

"This is a minor (point) release based on the 4MLinux Server 23.2, meaning that the components of the LAMP server are now: Linux 4.9.69, Apache 2.4.29, MariaDB 10.2.11, and PHP (both 5.6.32 and 7.0.26). The following server software has also been updated: OpenSSL (1.0.2n) and Stunnel (5.44)," said Zbigniew Konojacki‏.

Existing users can now update their installations

The developer reports that existing users can upgrade their installations to TheSSS 23.2 if they run the "zk update" command in a terminal emulator. The upgrade process is fully automatic. However, for new deployments, you'll have to download the live ISO image from our website or the release announcement page.

Those new to TheSSS (Smallest Server Suite), should know that it's a free and open-source live GNU/Linux distribution that can act as a Linux server system running directly from a bootable medium (e.g. USB stick) without any installation. At its core, TheSSS is based on the 4MLinux operating system.
