Core 2.0 Beta Released!

Core is a minimal distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system designed to be the basis for a complete system constructed by the end user. A fresh installation of Core will boot into a console and provide the user with the tools needed to download, compile and install other applications. Core contains nothing beyond what is required to perform these tasks. Core is primarily designed for experienced Linux users, though it has found an audience with those looking to learn about the internals and operation of a Linux system.

Four years ago, on April 4, 2003, Josh Devon released Core 1.x — today, May 1, 2007, the new Core development team has released a fully functional beta of Core 2.0. This beta has been in constant use for development for a number of weeks, and is more or less stable in that capacity.

Check out Core GNU/Linux website and the SourceForge project for information and downloads.
