[1]Version 017 of the decidedly non-traditional GoboLinux distribution has been released. " This release introduces a simplified model for recipe management and contribution that's fully integrated with the Compile build tool. The recipe tree is now a plain Git repository managed via GitHub cloned into your /Data/Compile/Recipes directory and used by the GoboLinux Compile tool directly. "

GoboLinux 017 released
I really enjoyed past releases. The one thing that I found pretty bad is that the Freshen tool still requires the 016 release binaries, and Compile doesn’t have an upgrade all feature for patch management. So, there is no easy way to keep the system updated to the latest patch sets. That aside, Gobo has matured well over the years, and it has a lot to offer. It reminds me of Slackware in its simplicity, but it then differs quite a bit in how it “feels” while the file hierarchy is radically different.
