  • 3 January 2002 -- Welcome to busybox.net! -

    - - Thanks to the generosity of a number of busybox users, we have been - able to purchase busybox.net (which is where you are probably - reading this). Right now, busybox.net and uclibc.org are both - living on my home system (at the end of my DSL line). I - apologize for the abrupt move off of busybox.lineo.com. - Unfortunately, I no longer have the access needed to keep that - system updated (for example, you might notice the daily snapshots - there stopped some time ago). - -

    - - Busybox.net is currently hosted on my home server, at the end of a - DSL line. Unfortunately, the load on them is quite heavy. To address - this, I'm trying to make arrangements to get busybox.net co-located - directly at an ISP. To assist in the co-location effort, Mark Whitley (author of - busybox sed, cut, and grep) has donated his NetWinder computer for hosting - busybox.net and uclibc.org. Once this system is co-located, the - current speed problems should be completely eliminated. Hopefully, - too, some of you will volunteer to set up some mirror sites, to help - to distribute the load a bit. - -

    - - - Since some people expressed concern over BusyBox donations, let me - assure you that no one is getting rich here. All BusyBox and - uClibc donations will be spent paying for bandwidth and needed - hardware upgrades. For example, Mark's NetWinder currently has - just 64Meg of memory. As demonstrated when google spidered the site - the other day, 64 Megs in not enough, so I'm going to be ordering - 256Megs of ram and a larger hard drive for the box today. So far, - donations received have been sufficient to cover almost all - expenses. In the future, we may have co-location fees to worry - about, but for now we are ok. - A HUGE thank-you goes out to everyone that has - contributed! - -

  • 20 November 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.2 released -

    - - We am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.2 (stable) is now - released to the world. This one is primarily a bugfix release for the - stable series, and it should take care of most everyone's needs - till we can get the nice new stuff we have been working on in CVS ready to - release (with the wonderful new buildsystem). The biggest change in this - release (beyond bugfixes) is the fact that msh (the minix shell) has been - re-worked by Vladimir N. Oleynik (vodz) and so it no longer crashes when - told to do complex things with backticks. -

    - - This release has been tested on x86, ARM, and powerpc using glibc 2.2.4, - libc5, and uClibc, so it should work with just about any Linux system you throw it at. - See the changelog - for most of the details. The last release was - very solid for people, and this one should be even better. -

    - As usual BusyBox 0.60.2 can be downloaded from - http://www.busybox.net/downloads. -

    - Have Fun.
