AUSTRUMI Still Alive, Who Knew?
AUSTRUMI was is a small Linux distribution aimed at lower-resource computers. It always reminded me of Puppy Linux, not so much in appearance (or even operation), but in philosophy and feel. It's blinding fast on modern machines, it offers a customized light-weight window manager and popular applications, and it's still a two-minute download. Like Puppy, it might have a few other things you might not expect.
I first reviewed AUSTRUMI back in 2005, and followed its development for a couple of years before it dropped off my radar. The team hasn't put out a press release or release announcement since 2007. In trying to fill in some of the blanks, I found it seems AUSTRUMI hadn't disbanded or stopped production, they just forgot to tell folks.
