http://blog.annvix.org Charting Annvix Development Sun, 30 Mar 2008 22:09:08 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It is with great regret that I announce that development of Annvix will be on hold indefinitely. At this point, I do not forsee continuing development in the future at all, at least not as an entire operating system. In November of 2003, I started Annvix to build a Linux ... http://blog.annvix.org/2008/03/30/development-on-hold-indefinitely/ I'm looking at possibly upgrading the build system for Annvix. It's currently using a 3-year-old dual opteron system that's starting to show it's age (dual 1.8GHz, 2GB RAM). The system I'm looking at replacing it with is a http://blog.annvix.org/2008/03/18/potential-build-server-upgrade/ New ISOs are now up that fix the boot issues with non-PAE-supporting CPUs. The new ISOs are currently on ibiblio and will be on the other mirrors soon. If you still have trouble with these kernels, please use Bugzilla to report the issues. The main problem was that during ... http://blog.annvix.org/2008/03/17/annvix-30-release-r2-isos-now-available/ I've put up a few boot charts on the website and compared Annvix boot time to Mandriva's Corporate Server 4. I don't mean to pick on CS4, but I think CS4 is pretty decent and pretty quick... and I had it on hand. I may add CentOS 5.1 ... http://blog.annvix.org/2008/03/14/annvix-boot-charts/ I have been running annvix as server, (e.g. email, DNS, web, source control...etc) since 1.0. Recently, I have been using it as development machines for my RD Department. My group is focusing to embedded Linux development, which means we need to have a perfectly working (and standard compliance) machine to install ... http://blog.annvix.org/2008/02/21/annvix-as-development-server/ The February 2008 issue of Linux+ Magazine has a feature article on installing Annvix. The magazine isn't listed on their site yet, but I got my copy of it in the mail today (probably a pre-release copy since I wrote the article). I suspect it should be coming ... http://blog.annvix.org/2008/02/18/annvix-featured-in-upcoming-linux-magazine/ The following testimonial was sent on the users@ mailing list on Feb 14th by David: Well, I've had fun getting Annvix set up. Using a PIII-750MHz, and base install was barely over 300 MB. After installing apache + php, and my folding program, I am now using annvix as experimental web ... http://blog.annvix.org/2008/02/18/new-annvix-testimonial/ I've just branched 3.1-CURRENT and updated the mirrors, so the apt metadata for 'current' now points to 3.1-CURRENT. 2.0-RELEASE is still on the mirrors for the time being but for all intents and purposes it is dead and no longer supported. In other words, please upgrade if you ... http://blog.annvix.org/2008/02/03/31-current-gaia-branched/ Since I switched my personal blog (on linsec.ca) to wordpress a few months ago, I've wanted to do the same here once I had a better feel for whether I liked it better than s9y. If not, then I would have converted the other one back. Anyways, I ... http://blog.annvix.org/2008/01/19/blog-converted-to-wordpress/ There was an independent review done of Annvix on Linux.com today (for once, this is a review done by someone other than myself). It was actually a pretty good review. Check it out here: www.linux.com/feature/124243. http://blog.annvix.org/2008/01/16/review-of-annvix-posted-on-linuxcom/
