kexec-tools in 2009-03

Contributed by bfree on Nov 26, 2009 - 04:53 PM | 3391 reads

kexec allows you to reboot into a new kernel without touching the bios or your bootloader. It was added to 2009-03 and was meant to have LOAD_KEXEC=false preset by debconf in /etc/default/kexec so people wouldn't get a possibly nasty suprise when they reboot. A bug crept in, wasn't caught and 2009-03 shipped with LOAD_KEXEC=true, which is the default in Debian.

Surprise

If you installed with 2009-03, until you dpkg-reconfigure kexec-tools you will not get the choice to select another OS or change boot options if you reboot rather then shutdown and restart!

sidux e.V. is pleased to present to you today a DVD version of Seminarix based on sidux. This is an educational project that merges Seminarix with the base of sidux.

With sidux as a powerfull free and open Linux distribution the Seminarix project now has a fast, easy to maintain and always current base.

sidux torrent

Contributed by bfree on Nov 11, 2009 - 04:06 PM | 4222 reads

The best way to get a sidux iso is from the mirror servers. There are http, ftp and rsync services on offer.

Some people just love torrents though, so rather then having partial unofficial torrents out there I decided to publish a semi-official torrent.
