nUbuntu 6.06 Released

I released nUbuntu 6.06. Not much updated except the kernel, and 85MB worth of packages from the Ubuntu repositories.

nUbuntu - Flight 6 Released

Fri, 07 Apr 2006 03:59:10 -0700

So I finally shipped out a version of nUbuntu which I am pretty proud of. I did many of the things I wanted to do, such as change the username and hostname. Included patched drivers for packet injection. Download this release and test it in everyway possible. I also coded a simple bash script which makes connecting to wireless access points easily.

You can see most of the changes in the changelog. I will begin work again on another beta next week after I have had a rest. Which will incorporate any changes people would like to see. Even a new Fluxbox style maybe .

Patched Drivers - Packet Injection

Thu, 06 Apr 2006 13:48:17 -0700

I am going to be patching the following drivers for packet injection:

madwifi-ng
prism54
HostAP
wlan-ng

If you would like to see any other supported drivers patched please let me know on the nubuntu forums.

nUbuntu Development - Update

Wed, 05 Apr 2006 18:49:37 -0700

I have finally changed the username and hostname from ‘ubuntu’ to ‘nubuntu’, which helps brand the Live CD more towards nUbuntu. I have also upgraded the current kernel to 2.6.15-19-386, and I should hopefully have it up to 2.6.15-20-386, before the next release. You can find some screenshots here.

Some of the additional applications which have been added include:

Ophcrack
Samdump2
Void11
Bkhive

If you would like to see any other applications added to nUbuntu before the next release please make a post in the nUbuntu forums, and it will be added. Package freeze is at 00:00 Friday morning this week. Also if you would like to see any other Kernel modules compiled into deb packages please make a post in the nUbuntu forums aswell.

A release is expected this weekend, so I hope you’re all anticipating the next release

Tue, 04 Apr 2006 16:03:16 -0700

Tue, 04 Apr 2006 16:03:16 -0700

I have decided to make a development blog for the development of nUbuntu, where I can write things such as changes, and things which I may change. I will also write about anything in the security and Linux world which may affect nUbuntu and/or Ubuntu.
