Quirky

Quirky è una distribuzione Linux creata tramite il tool Woof ed è creata dallo stesso autore di Puppy Linux. E’ specificatamente creata per esplorare nuove idea che vanno oltre il normale approccio con cui si crea una distribuzione Linux.

Questa versione è costruita intorno ad un unico grande file: se il boot parte, tutto è già pronto all’uso.

Versione 8.2

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

• Architecturally, Quirky Xerus 8.2 is the same as previous Quirky releases, since 8.0. Mostly there are incremental improvements, bug fixes, package upgrades, and some new packages. An announcement blurb:

  Quirky Linux 8.2 x86_64 is codenamed “Xerus” and is built using the woofQ Quirky Linux build system, with the help of Ubuntu 16.04.2 binary packages. Thus, Xerus has compatibility with all of the Ubuntu repositories.
  Quirky is a fork of Puppy Linux, and is mainly differentiated by being a “full installation” only, with special snapshot and recovery features, and Service Pack upgrades, though recently there is limited support for live-CD session-saving and “frugal” installation.
  Version 8.2 has many architectural improvements and package upgrades, including new packages JWMDesk, UrxvtControl and Take-a-Shot. Among architectural improvements, the overlay filesystem has been dumped in favour of aufs, mime-handling fixes, and network-connection refinements. A significant change in application selection is VLC dumped in favour of Xine. The Linux kernel is version 4.11.11 and SeaMonkey is upgraded to version 2.48b1.
