According to Distrowatch, this release isn't announced yet.

I thought about trying this one out, seeing as how they were so kind to support my NIC in this release, but I've got Slack and FreeBSD taking up all the space on my disk, and I really don't want to drop either of them. Maybe I'll dig up my USB HD and give it a shot.


In my case, I used NetBSD for my laptop, a PIII 850 w/512 MB RAM. It performed quite awesomely, as did Gentoo. FreeBSD performs extremely well, but it seems to have some heft to it. Hence, I prefer to use FreeBSD on newer NW. Something like Gentoo, Slack, or Debian on older HW, and perhaps NetBSD or OpenBSD. I've got a Sun UltraSparc II with limited disk space. OpenBSD ran very well on it. Probably NetBSD would be better. NetBSD seems to be suited to those types of machines.
