Alpine Linux 2.6.0 發布

Alpine Linux是由社區開發的操作系統，它面向x86路由器、防火墻、虛擬專用網、IP電話盒及服務器而設計。它在設計時就貫徹了安全的理念，包含了一些主動安全特性如PaX和SSP，它們能防止軟件中的漏洞被敵手加以利用。該系統采用的C語言庫是uClibc，基礎工具則都在BusyBox中。它們在嵌入式系統中很常見，它們比GNU/Linux系統中的工具要小。

Natanael Copa has announced the release of Alpine Linux 2.6.0, a security-oriented, lightweight Linux distribution for servers, based on uClibc and BusyBox: " We are pleased to announce Alpine Linux 2.6.0. Since 2.5, among the various bug fixes, several packages have been upgraded: Linux kernel upgraded to 3.9.2 with the grsecurity patch; Ruby 2.0; PHP 5.4.5; Kamailio 4.0; QEMU 1.4; Squid 3.3. Other things that might be worth noting: LXC support; support for NFS with Kerberos; the initramfs script has initial support for PXE; VServer kernel got reverted to the 3.4.y LTS and slimmed down configuration; Quagga got multi-path support.
