BLS 1.3.002beta2 ready for testing

If you are brave you can try the beta test version of the 1.3.002 release. This release has all of the updated and changed packages since 1.3.001. It also has improved initramfs support so that during installation firmware can be loaded via mdev hotplug. Finally, this version can be installed onto your hard disk from a USB stick as an alternative to using a CDROM (for some BIOS). You can download the iso image and try it on a test machine today: bls1.3.002beta2_cdrom.iso Highlights of beta2:

fixed rc.lighttpd stop to kill the php-cgi processes better
fixed rc.vsftpd stop to kill the vsftpd processes better
updated lighttpd to have the patch for CVE-2010-0295
fixed bug where broadcom bnx2 NICs would complain about Dell on non-Dell hardware. The problem is the broadcom NIC chip, which is also used on IBM x-series machines.
fixed bug where servesetup would talk about apache, even though we do not have apache; now it talks about web like it should
fixed embarassing symlink bugs in xz man pages
fixed even more embarassing broken link to beta iso image [blush]

BLS 1.3.001 released!

Burapha Linux Server is a free Linux distribution. We build all of our own packages and have our own package manager. The primary purpose of development is for the computer science students to learn the infrastructure of a UNIX system, and apply the acquired knowledge in research and projects.

If you want to know what is happening behind the scenes with BLS, please check the threatboard.
