Finnix 111 is the first ever version of the Debian-based distribution to support the ARM hardware architecture. Additionally, the new release adds support for OverlayFS, and the usual performance improvements and bugfixes. Until today, Finnix supported only the 32-bit (x86) and PPC (PowerPC) architectures. Starting with version 111, you will be able to download Finnix for ARM (armhf) hardware architectures as well. Linux kernel 4.0 is also on-board.
