Periodic Distro Status Review

July 2017 Distro Review

Maintenance Issues

the following Libre Distros have some issues that need resolving:

dynebolic

broken website link http://www.dynebolic.org/

website is still available at https://www.dyne.org/software/dynebolic/

2017-07-06 - sent email to info@dyne.org asking about this

ututo

the latest version of ututo is based on ubuntu rather than gentoo as with previous versions

2017-07-06 - sent email via website asking what they would prefer the listing to read

Diego Saravia said they are not convinced to stay based on ubuntu for the next version so it would be best if it read like this:

 Ututo-S is a GNU/Linux 100% free distribution.  It was the first fully free GNU/Linux system recognized by the GNU Project.

blag

the download links for both 32-bit and 64-bit ISOs are not resonding

NOTE: these are (were?) actually hosted on the FSF FTP server ftp://blag.fsf.org/140000/en/iso/

2017-07-07 - posted to their mailing list asking about this https://lists.aktivix.org/pipermail/blag-whereto/2017-July/002749.html
