New in ALT Linux Rescue 20151104 (Nov 8, 2015)

  • ALT Linux Team announces a significant weekly Regular build (20151104) dedicated to Russia's Unity Day and carrying lots of updates based on ALT Linux development repository named Sisyphus: Linux 4.1.12/4.2.5, Firefox 41.0.2, Cinnamon 2.8.2, GNOME3 3.18.0, Enlightenment 0.20.0-beta, IceWM 1.3.11, KDE4 4.14.10, KDE5 5.15.0, LXQt 0.10.0, MATE 1.10, WindowMaker 0.95.7, Xfce 4.12.3 and other goodies on a bunch of DE-specific hybrid LiveCD images and a pretty popular Rescue one which is specifically tailored to do forensics properly.
  • These boot in English by default unlike the official ALT Linux distributions preferring Russian, and Cinnamon/LXDE flavours carry basic Vietnamese/Korean/Chinese input method support. There are some single-app LiveCDs with FlightGear, 0ad and links2 available.
  • Starterkit builds based on stable p7/branch (with somewhat older versions on average) might be more suitable for those interested in installing ALT Linux permanently, these include several installers, a KVM image, and an OpenVZ VE template (in addition to an OpenVZ server installer). These receive more QA testing and are published quarterly (e.g. 20150912).
