Michael K. Johnson has announced the availability of a new alpha release of rPath Linux 2: "The fourth alpha snapshot toward rPath Linux 2 has been released. It is very different from all previous snapshots. It has been trimmed down into a smaller, more focused, better base for appliances: smaller kernel, smaller group of core software for an installed system. It is available in our new 'appliance installer' format, in which package selection is not enabled and installation is much faster and requires much less memory. It has a new compiler and toolchain, and has been completely rebuilt from source using the rMake build tool. In addition, it includes newer versions of many included software components."
