Short Notice

Dear friends, as you might notice that this website has been off line for a while. Due to a major hardware failure, the server where I host this website on must be taken down and replaced by a new one. Right now, all features you used to have previously are restored and running again. Please let me know if you find something unusual here. Thanks to Harry for all efforts he has done to make this website online again.

Furthermore, I would like to apologize for not keeping my words to release the new version of SLAMPP right on the schedule. I just can not find enough spare time to finish the stuff. I hope it would be available someday in this year.

Alright guys, that will be all for now. Please stay in touch. Thank you.

Quick Stats

According to the stats system I maintain I get the following raw counts for SLAMPP download so far. Not bad for a new and relatively unheard Linux distribution. :)

SLAMPP (1.0 + 1.1) : 44029 times
SLAMPPLite (1.0 + 2.0) : 14165 times

Of course these numbers are going to be higher if you also include additional stats from other sources as anyone can distribute SLAMPP freely.

Thank you for downloading, trying and using SLAMPP.

Coming Soon, SLAMPPLite 3.0

I just wanted to let you know that I am now in preparing to release the new version of SLAMPPLite. The upcoming SLAMPPLite will be released with version number 3.0, based on Slackware 12.0, using kernel 2.6.21.5, XAMPP1.6.4, improved hard disk/usb installer and the latest applications you can find under Slackware repository.

Furthermore I still focus on the use, the lightness, the easiness and the compactness of it. So, you will expect nothing fancy in this release. SLAMPPLite is just a generic Linux distribution that is ready for deployment.

I hope this new SLAMPPLite will be available by the end of this year. More information about this is coming soon.

I also invite you to share or contribute ‘how to’ or other things you have done with SLAMPP on this blog. Please contact me privately and I will give you a writer account. Please don’t forget to provide me sufficient information what you are going to do in your e-mail. I hope by doing this, others could learn and get to know more about SLAMPP.

Thank you.

Up and Go

First of all, I would like to apologize to all SLAMPP users, where ever you are in the world, for being lazy and so ignorant in the last few months. Due to my current job as a Measurement while Drilling/Logging while Drilling (MWD/LWD) Field Engineer which takes so much time of mine, I can not always resume my work on this project and spend some spare time in it. Sometimes I have to be on the field for a couple of weeks, far from civilization. Therefore I would like to ask your favor to have patience with me. This project is not going to be a dead project, just needs some time to recover from a major hardware failure of the server where I host SLAMPP. Now, with help of my best friend Harry, everything is running smoothly again. Thanks Harry for your kind assistance.

While I take care of everything to ensure the new development cycle of SLAMPP, I hope you still enjoy visiting this website and using SLAMPP. Please bear the mess you might find in your journey exploring SLAMPP on this website as it is not 100% ready yet.

See you in the next generation of SLAMPP, soon! :)

Live-Developers.Org

Kenneth Granerud a.k.a. Wolven of Wolvix GNU/Linux has recently announced the launch of a new website located at http://live-developers.org. The main purpose of this project is to have a dedicated website where Linux Live developers can come together to chat, exchange ideas and learn from each other. SLAMPP is glad to be a part of this initiative.

So, all Live CD developers who use the Linux Live scripts created by Tomas Matejicek, please join and share your knowledge to others. :)
