Today, Black Lab Software CEO Roberto J. Dohnert has informed Softpedia about the immediate availability of Black Lab Enterprise Linux Weekly 262 ISO snapshot, which incorporates all the security updates released during the week of May 29 upstream, on the software repositories of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus). It now uses Linux kernel 4.8.0-53, ships with the Ukuu kernel update utility, and adds stability updates to wireless network connections. Being a testing release and all that, Black Lab Enterprise Linux Weekly 262 has a bunch of known issues that you need to be aware of when installing the distro. For example, there are still some black screen issues when running the ISO snapshot on VirtualBox virtual machines, Thunar file manager crashes when network drives are accessed, and wireless doesn’t work on MacBook Pro computers released after 2012.
