14 DAY TRIAL // 4MLinux developer Zbigniew Konojacki is informing us today about the availability of the Beta release of his upcoming 4MLinux 23.0 GNU/Linux operating system.
The new stable version, 4MLinux 22.0, just launched last week with LUKS-enabled full disk encryption support, along with numerous other updated components and under-the-hood performance improvements, and it looks like the developer has no time to waste as it started working on the next major release of the project, 4MLinux 23.0.
"This is a core system (only a few MB in size) for the 4MLinux 23 series. The system includes the Linux kernel 4.9.33, GNU C Library 2.25, and BusyBox 1.26.2," says Zbigniew Konojacki in the release announcement. "The 4MLinux 23 series uses GNU Compiler Collection 6.2.0 to compile programs designed for the i686 architecture."
Development of 4MLinux 23.0 begins today, with the Core edition, which is the base of all other GNU/Linux distributions and Live ISOs that Zbigniew Konojacki creates under the 4MLinux umbrella. As you can see, 4MLinux 23.0 Core Beta is powered by Linux kernel 4.9.33 LTS, GNU C Library (Glibc) 2.25, BusyBox 1.26.2, and GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 6.2.0.
But the good news is that starting with 4MLinux 23.0, the Core edition is now capable of supporting all possible boot options, including BIOS with a 64-bit CPU, BIOS with a 32-bit CPU, UEFI with a 64-bit firmware, as well as UEFI with 32-bit firmware. If you want to test this Beta release of 4MLinux 23.0 Core, you can download the ISO image right now from our website.
