Development Release: Slackintosh 12.0 RC1 |
 |
Adrian Ulrich has announced the first release candidate of Slackintosh 12.0, an unofficial port of Slackware Linux to Apple's PowerPC computers: "I've uploaded some Slackintosh 12.0-BETA ISOs. Please note that this ISO release is not final and not tested very well (but installing it on my iBook2 worked just fine). Please give it a try and report bugs! Disk1 + Disk2 are needed for a system with X.Org. Disk1 is fine for servers. The DVD contains everything (including sources). The source-tree is almost frozen, only minor (if any) changes will happen until Slackintosh 12.0 is released. If you are running 10.2, upgrade now, 10.2 will be unsupported after the 12.0 release." Read the brief release announcement for more information. Download (MD5): slackintosh-12.0-install-d1-rc1.iso (634MB), slackintosh-12.0-install-d2-rc1.iso (516MB).

Distribution Release: Slackintosh 11.0 |
 |
A Slackware for your Macintosh, or Slackintosh, is a Linux distribution designed to run on your PowerPC-based hardware. Version 11.0 was released today: "We are proud to announce that Slackintosh 11.0 has been released! Slackintosh 11.0 includes Linux 2.6.17.13 with glibc 2.3.6, KDE 3.5.4 and much more. The installation CD also includes two bootable 64-bit kernels." The new release means that security support for the older version 10.1 will be discontinued; users still running that version are encouraged to upgrade to either 10.2 or 11.0. Also please note that due to a Qt version bug in Slackintosh 10.2, users upgrading from 10.2 to 11.0 should first uninstall Qt before proceeding with the upgrade procedure.

Lunar Linux
Lunar was a source based Linux distribution with a unique package management system which builds each software package, or module, for the machine it was being installed on. Though it can take a while to do a complete Lunar installation it's worth it as it tends to be quite fast, once installed! In the beginning Lunar was a fork of Sorcerer GNU Linux (SGL). The fork occurred in late January to early February of 2002 and was originally made up of a small group of people who wanted to collaboratively develop and extend the Sorcerer technology. The original name for the project was Lunar-Penguin but the group decided to re-christen it Lunar Linux while the Lunar-Penguin name has become a sort of umbrella which the team could use if they decide to collaboratively develop something besides Lunar Linux.
Status: Discontinued
