Hello friends, just uploaded new isos, both a minimal and a maximal version. This is based on the original 1.07 I finished in early 2018, based on Devuan 1 (jessie) and Miyolinux.

There is a metric ton of bug fixes, performance tweaks, and just general cleanup and polishing, plus being updated to all the newest packages in the archive repo, some 300 in all plus a new kernel. In addition I added an appimage of the latest Firefox ESR (128) to the iso and also a database app. The minimal version also now includes printer and scanner support like the maximal.

I have changed sources.list to the archive repo, and you can add more software from there if you like.

For minimal: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vuu-do … 4-minimal/

For maximal: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vuu-do … imal/1.09/

The release notes have been updated, and on sourceforge they are the "readme.txt" files that are also displayed at the bottom of the download pages. More info in my original 1.07 thread, and also at https://sourceforge.net/projects/vuu-do/

I did not update the 32 bit version, it's from 2017, and lacks a LOT...I may mess with it at some point, but in any case leaving it up there for now for historical reasons.

Again, it must be said, this is a project re-spin, not a distro And as always, big thanks to Devuan, Miyo, and fsmithred for making it all possible!

Just re-habbed a 20 year old laptop with the 1.09 ob-max iso. 2005 model HP dv9000 series, Turion 64 chip, 1 gig of ram. I didn't even have to use proprietary drivers for the Nvidia graphics chip, the nouveau driver works fine. And it runs the appimage of Firefox ESR just fine though you can't have too many tabs open, modern browsers really eat up the ram.

Many thanks to the Devuan devs for keeping the archive repo alive, it's pretty amazing that it can support hardware that's 10 years older than Devuan itself. Kudos!
