As many of you may have noticed, we’ve had a major crash.

One of our disks started to spit out bad blocks and to give errors. The whole machine has stopped working and we couldn’t access the images anymore. Also the site and the blog were on the same disk, so you can think what we had to face.

Now we have brand new disks, in RAID so we hope it won’t be happening again.

The good news is: we’re back, and both the Mediawiki of the OsZoo site and the Wordpress of this blog have been upgraded to the last stable version available.

It also seems that no important data went lost, so we should be operating as if nothing had happened.

I’ve received some contributions in the last week. I promise to put them online as soon as possible.

Stay tuned

Hello all.

As you may have noticed, not many new images are being uploaded. There are just few and sporadic. The number of visitors, on the opposite side, continues to grow, as you may see in the stats (please, keep in mind that there have been some technical problems that kept the site down).

The actual way of uploading images is quite slow and if senders had any kind of problems, it becomes even more difficult. That’s why we’re planning new features, in order to allow to have a simple way to upload images.

We’ll be working on it during next weeks and all the updates will be published in this blog.

Meanwhile, I’d like to say “thank you” to all the users and visitors, because they make this project important. But, above all, I’d like to say “thank you VERY MUCH” to all the contributors that prepare the images, test them, send them and prepare the wiki pages. Good work, guys!

Stay tuned!

I’m proud to announce that a new image is ready to be downloaded: Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 x86

Have fun!

…and they’ll be available soon, thanks to some external contributors!

Stay tuned!

Do you want to try the next Ubuntu without having to mess around with partitions or trying headless live cds?

As promised, I’ve just uploaded and published a brand new installation of Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 - Alpha 4.

Please note that the OS is in alpha state and may have some bugs. Have fun!

As always, you can get it here!

Here we are. As many of you may have noticed, during the Christmas holidays the OsZoo project has gone down. A big crash has occurred and it’s been quite hard to recover the file system. Thanks to Ludovico Gardenghi we could save all our data and now I’m able to put some news here.

Stay tuned… a “Heron” will fly here soon!

Looking around I found some old spam pages still on the wiki site.

I’ve deleted them. Let’s hope that the Captcha system will do its job. For now, it is doing fine.

I’m happy to annouce I’ve just finished uploading a brand new OpenSUSE 10.3 i386 image!

Fire up your bittorrent clients now!

I’m proud to announce that the GNU/Linux Mandriva One 2008 image is ready to be downloaded. Its size is, more or less, 860 MB.

You can get it here.

I’ve prepared some new images…I don’t want to reveal them all but the first one that will be available soon is a brand new GNU/Linux Mandriva One 2008 i386 image!

A link will be added to this post as soon as it will be ready and available.
