Finnix not dead, just resting

  • Posted by Ryan Finnie on October 23, 2010, 8:21 pm

Today is the 5 year anniversary of the "modern" incarnation of Finnix, which started with Finnix 86.0. Happy birthday, Finnix!

I sent a message to the Finnix mailing list today, apologizing for hiatus Finnix has been on for the last year, and detailing a roadmap for the near future. Please read the post for the full details, but the main points are:

  • I am now working on Finnix again.
  • Finnix version numbering will jump from 93.0 to 100, and will simply increment with new releases.
  • While Finnix-PPC isn't completely dead, it is no longer a release goal.
  • The Store will be closed, and replaced with a Sticker Exchange.
