Finnix Linux Distro for Sysadmins Celebrates 25th Anniversary with New Release
Finnix 250 is here to celebrate the distro’s 25th anniversary, which is a huge milestone for such a small project. The first Finnix release was made public on March 22nd, 2000. Despite the small footprint, the Finnix distro ships with hundreds of Linux utilities for system recovery, maintenance, testing, and other system administration tasks.
Apart from including all the upstream Debian package updates, Finnix 250 ships with the Linux 6.12 LTS kernel series, the util-linux-extra package, which contains a random collection of Linux utilities, and more reliable automatic per-user shared ssh-agent functionality.
