Rock Linux 1.4.0 (stable) release
April 28, 2001
This is the first release of the ROCK Linux 1.4 stable tree.
ROCK Linux 1.4.0 is intended for production usage, but
given that it’s a dot ohh!? (.0) release, you might proceed with
care while we hold tight to the brown paper bags.
Features:
– Linux Kernel 2.4.3
– XFree86 4.0.3
– GNOME Desktop Environment 1.4
– Many (like heaps of) improvements over previous stable
release and up to date versions of packages.
– Inclusion of alsa-driver package for wider soundcard
compatibility
– Initial support (optional subdistribution) for pam based
authentication

Roadmap:
– ROCK Linux 1.4.1 is just around the corner. Linux Kernel 2.4.4
got released while preparing this release, and that was set as
milestone to freeze the version updates to the tree. If we are
lucky Mozilla 0.9.0 and Nautilus will find it’s way into it.
– ROCK Linux 1.4.1 will start to include the first attempted build
of the many extensions contributed and some of the sub
distributions.
– With ROCK Linux 1.4.1 we hope to provide builds of the other
architectures, provided that we get people to do the builds.
