Puppy Linux的姊妹項目，Quirky 6.1 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。

Bonne Nouvelle Année 2014 ! The first release announcement of the new year has been published by Barry Kauler who presents the new Quirky 6.1. Quirky is a minimalist distribution (and a fork of Puppy Linux) that attempts to explore new avenues and implement unusual ideas. From the release announcement: " Quirky 6.0 started the ball rolling with the feature set proposed for the 6.x series, now 6.1 adds the comprehensive upgrade, downgrade, rollback and recovery mechanisms. In essence, these are in three sections: rigorous handling of package uninstallation, such that the system can never be broken; system snapshots, with history, allowing recovery to any earlier state; simple version upgrade, with service packs." Compared to Quirky 6.0 the package set remains the same except the Linux kernel which has been upgraded to version 3.12.6. Here are the release notes which explain the new features in some details and provide installation and upgrade instructions. Download link: quirky-6.1-8gb.img.xz (109MB, SHA1).
