The GhostBSD project has published an update to their FreeBSD-based, rolling release desktop system. The project's new snapshot fixes a number of issues and removes an unmaintained package from the default install. "This new ISO image contains fixes, improvements and software updates. Finally, the installer hanging at the cleaning stage for ZFS installation got fixed and OpenRC and dhcpcd were removed from the base code. Furthermore, automation configuration for HD 7000 series and older GPUs has been added. I also added the support for os-release to show GhostBSD name and GhostBSD version in applications like mate-system-monitor, Python distros, pfetch and neofetch and added a new set of wallpapers for 2022 and removed p7zip from the default selection since it is vulnerable and unmaintained. Changelog: remove OpenRC-related code from base and contrib; remove OpenRC services from libexec/rc; remove dhcpcd from contrib; remove rc_system from loader; build VLC package with UPNP option; customize /etc/os-release; add GhostBSD to uname output so pfetch/neofetch can display correct OS info; initgfx for the automatic configuration of the graphics hardware...."

The Ubuntu community has published a new development release, leading into the distribution s 22.04 long-term support LTS scheduled for April. Along with the flagship Ubuntu Server distribution its many official community editions have also released beta snapshots. Perhaps the most documented community edition is Ubuntu MATE which offers pages of updates and screenshots of the beta. The release announcement mentions some important changes Ubuntu MATE, like its lead developer, was starting to get get a bit large around the mid section. During the development of 22.04, the image got to 4.1GB. So, we put Ubuntu MATE on a strict diet. We ve removed the proprietary NVIDIA drivers from the local apt pool....

The Finnix distribution is a small, self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution for system administrators, based on Debian. The project celebrates its 22nd anniversary this month with the release of Finnix 124. Finnix 124 includes a number of fixes, new packages and new features wifi-connect helper utility will now display nearby access points if invoked without any command line options. ip kernel command line network configuration now supports netmasks in addition to prefix lengths. Added a pure Python strings implementation. Explanation from the commit I had avoided including strings because, while it s incredibly useful, it s the only desirable utility in the binutils package, which otherwise includes a bunch of compilation-related utilities, and the package itself is quite large. So in the words of the my mechanics YouTube channel, I make a new one It s not a 100 complete reimplementation of GNU binutils strings, but is fine for casual binary checking. This is also set up so that if you do apt install binutils in the live environment, its strings will take precedence over the Python version. RISC-V riscv64 unofficial build support added, in addition to amd64, i386, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x. Though as a reminder, AMD64 is the only officially supported architecture with released ISOs. For more information, see Platform support on Finnix. Replaced the running systemd finnix.target with the more traditional multi-user.target. This is not noticeable in regular live environment use, but makes it easier for people expanding upon Finnix.
