“The 3.0 kernel found in the Finnix 102 release was produced by
the Finnix developers and it was partially based on Debian
pre-release kernels. Support for Linux kernel 3.0 in Finnix was
heavily tested throughout the entire Linux 3.0 RC process.

“Finnix 102 also features the powerful XZ (LZMA2) compression
for root and initrd, which resulted in a smaller ISO image up to
20%. Finnix 102 has been also tested on a Power Mac G5 DP/DC
computer.”
