The October 1st release of Kevin’s RedHat Uber Distribution
(KRUD) is now available (yes, we’re still saying “Redhat” :-)).
Every month Kevin merges in the latest and greatest errata (those
which aren’t totally broken anyway) into a standard RedHat
distribution (currently version 6.0).
Usually, RedHat only releases a few new packages right after we
release KRUD, but this month it’s an entire new release (6.1). Once
6.1 stabilizes, you can look forward to a KRUD based off 6.1.
However, since the majority of machines we’ve tried to install 6.1
on have failed, we’re going to stick with 6.0 right now.
What ever will you do with the time you save not having to find,
download, and apply the latest errata to your newly-installed
system? “FreeCIV” and “PySol” are included as possible answers to
just that question. Updates/Extras now number over 170 packages
(see web site for exact package list).
