Aloofix is a Linux OS designed for virtual machine operation, offering optimized performance and enhanced functionality in this environment.
As a virtual machine-optimized Linux distribution, Aloofix shares its concept with Ubuntu JeOS. It has undergone testing through VirtualBox, VMWare Player, and Qemu. Its build environment consists of several makefiles, scripts, and configuration files that can create a bootable ISO image. This ISO image contains a small set of utility programs and scripts that help with Aloofix installation on a primary hard drive in a virtual machine environment.
Furthermore, the build environment makes it possible to create and provision guest instances for VirtualBox, VMware, and QEMU. The latest release of Aloofix has several new features. The new add-on packages include bash, bison, gawk, m4, nasm, ncurses, patch, and strace. Additionally, the new version features a recipe for installing Java JRE 1.5.
To ensure a better user experience, Aloofix now supports local patch files for both the kernel and busybox. Furthermore, Syslinux has been bumped to 3.62, and e2fsprogs to 1.40.7 in this release. With thorough testing against Virtualbox 1.5.6, Aloofix ensures smooth functioning of this version.
Finally, this version of Aloofix includes more documentation to help users. These changes provide an all-around better experience for users that require contemporary virtualized environments.
