News : Debian Grml 2025.08 - codename Oneinonein.

Grml 2025.08 live distro for system administrators is now available for download based on the Debian 13 “Trixie” operating system series.

I used debian distros and are very good.

Grml is a Debian-based live Linux distribution tailored for system administrators. It’s designed to run directly from a USB stick or CD/DVD without installation, making it ideal for rescue tasks, system recovery, and quick deployments.

Grml uses the Debian package system APT to manage software. Another tool is grml-live Build System that allows users to create custom Grml images.

Grml is a Debian based live system focusing on the needs of system administrators. The 2025.08 release provides fresh software packages from Debian trixie. As usual it also incorporates up to date hardware support and fixes known bugs from previous Grml releases.

News : Fedora 42 (Adams) !

Fedora 42 is a version of Fedora released to the public on 15 April 2025[1], under the codename "Adams". This version is notably the first version since Fedora 23 to use a codename. This version updates GNOME to version 48.

See the wikipedia article.

Yesterday I installed the Fedora Linux distro with version 42 also known as Adams, on the old Cosmic environment.

The packages were installed correctly and updated to version 42. The Cosmic environment, although it has a pretty good design, is just as poor as some of the implemented applications. I tried with about three screenshot applications to take a screenshot and I couldn't succeed. I noticed some packages for basic and cosmic implementation, but they didn't solve anything. Moreover, it seems that cosmic is related to rust and it's throwing me some strange messages!!!

I had to take a picture of the screen for this installation ... after all, it is a test version from the Fedora team based on RedHat linux!
