Lineox Releases Lineox Enterprise Linux 4.0 x86_64 and First Always Current x86_64 Lineox Enterprise Linux 4.x Versions 14. Mar. 2005 Lineox has released today Lineox Enterprise Linux 4.0 x86_64 version which is built from the source packages available from ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/4/en/os/x86_64/SRPMS Lineox has replaced some graphics files and changed or replaced some other files mainly because of trademark issues while retaining full compatibility. This release includes also updated packages which were built from 28 source packages available from ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/4AS/en/os/SRPMS Yumex, a graphical front-end to yum package management system was added to x86_64 version because apt doesn't properly support multiple architecture packages. Lineox Enterprise Linux 4.0 x86_64 has only i386 versions of OpenOffice.org and HelixPlayer. Also many browser plug-ins are available only as x86 versions, so Lineox Enterprise Linux 4.0 x86_64 version has many x86 libraries. When used as server oriented system Lineox Enterprise Linux 4.0 x86_64 version shoudn't need any x86 packages, but as workstation oriented system there is some need for them and then using apt as a package management system is impossible. Apt and and it's graphical front-end synaptic are still included and preferred as more mature package management solutions. Lineox has released also two Always Current x86_64 versions of Lineox Enterprise Linux 4.0 to syncronize it with x86 version. Always Current Lineox Enterprise Linux is a version of Lineox Enterprise Linux 4.0 which is constantly updated and contains only current versions of program packages. This means that there is no instant need to download and update the system after installation and the system is secure right from the start. Lineox has an automated system running on a cluster which builds new binary rpm packages as soon as new source code is available. New rpm packages are usually available in less than 12 hours after source code release. After that Lineox builds Always Current Lineox Enterprise Linux disks automatically, but because of the time it takes to transfer the disk images to our web server, they are available from 2 to 12 hours after we release new packages. The current Always Current Lineox Enterprise Linux 3.x version is 3.071 and Lineox began building x86_64 versions starting from version 3.032, so Lineox has already released well over hundred Always Current version in little over one year. Lineox expects to release Always Current Lineox Enterprise Linux 4.x versions about once a week.
