| + | <b>3 January 2002 -- Welcome to busybox.net!</b> |
| + | |
| + | <p>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).</p> |
| + | |
| + | <p>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, <a href= |
| + | "http://www.codepoet.org/~markw">Mark Whitley</a> |
| + | (author of busybox sed, cut, and grep) has donated |
| + | his <a href= |
| + | "http://www.netwinder.org/">NetWinder</a> 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.</p> |

| + | --> |
| + | 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 <b>HUGE thank-you</b> goes out to |
| + | everyone that has contributed!<br> |

| + | <b>20 November 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.2 released</b> |
| + | |
| + | <p>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.</p> |
| + | |
| + | <p>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 <a href= |
| + | "downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for <small>most |
| + | of</small> the details. The last release was |
| + | <em>very</em> solid for people, and this one should |
| + | be even better.</p> |
| + | |
| + | <p>As usual BusyBox 0.60.2 can be downloaded from |
| + | <a href= |
| + | "downloads">http://www.busybox.net/downloads</a>.</p> |
| + | |
| + | <p>Have Fun.<br> |
