Puppy Linux的姊妹項目，Quirky 5.4.91 發布

Quirky是Puppy Linux的姊妹項目，是用一份叫Woof的定制工具創建的Linux發行。其下層的基礎構造，例如啟動和關機腳本、配制工具、硬件檢測、桌面管理、用戶界面、加速及一般化的易用性管理等，對所有用Woof創建的發行而言都是共同的，但是，一次專門的創建將會擁有一套不同的軟件包選取及進一步的定制（甚至是完全不同的二進制軟件包）。Quirky由Puppy Linux和Woof的創始人開發，以挑戰極限，在下層基礎構造上嘗試一些新穎的想法——而它們當中有些可能是激進的或奇異的，正如Quirky這個名字所意味。

Barry Kauler, the founder of Puppy Linux, has released a new stable build of Quirky, a minimalist distribution that attempts to explore new avenues and implement unusual ideas. This release of Quirky doesn't come as live CD image, but rather as a single kernel file that needs to be downloaded and then booted via an existing bootloader (instructions included). From the release notes: " It has been a very long time since the last official release of Quirky. Yes, despite the rather odd version number, this is a new public official release of Quirky. These are two ideas/features to play with in Quirky 5.4.91: absolutely everything built into a single (126 MB) file; f2fs (Flash Friendly File System). The idea was developed by the Linux kernel developers, in which an 'initial file system' can be built into the kernel. Various people, including myself, toyed with building all of Puppy into the kernel." Download the kernel file from ibiblio.org: quirky-5.4.91/kernel.qky (126MB, MD5).
