<br />
ALT Linux 7.0 Centaurus is a multi-purpose distribution for servers and workstations. The distribution includes Linux kernel 3.8.13.3 (std-def). Users can choose between two desktop environments: MATE for workstations and FVWM as a minimalist environment for server administration.<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
The [[ALT_Linux_Wiki:SeventhPlatform|Seventh Platform]]<br />
<br />
=== Key features ===<br />
* A choice of configurations (i.e. web server, graphical desktop) during the installation<br />
* A possibility to either set up an integrated network solution based on Kerberos/LDAP/Samba or to use only separate services<br />
* Installation of a variety of server and end-user solutions from a single disk<br />
* Facilitated deployment of diskless client networks<br />
<br />
== Release date and support cycle ==<br />
Release: 1 July, 2013<br />
<br />
End of support (if other conditions are not agreed upon with the customer): 30 June, 2016, but not earlier than 6 months after the release of ALT Linux 8.0 Centaurus.<br />
<br />
== New in 7.0 release ==<br />
* Support for installation in UEFI mode (for 64-bit versions).<br />
* When setting up with the server profile selected, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_V SysVinit] initialization system is used, when setting up as a workstation, the newer Systemd is used instead. The initialization system can be changed at the stage of package selection.<br />
* Support for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 IPv6] (including Etcnet and Alterator modules).<br />
* Implemented integration with pam_ccreds, which allows to comfortably use a domain-connected computer outside the domain (can be switched on in System Management Center → Authentication).<br />
* Domain can be used to authenticate Windows-based computers.<br />
* There is a choice of domain-enabled applications: mediawiki, owncloud, moodle.<br />
* Introduced support for installation on encrypted partitions (an unencrypted /boot partition is required) with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LUKS LUKS].<br />
* Improved support for execution of 32-bit applications in a 64-bit environment.<br />
* Implemented out-of-the-box support for the popular 1С accounting software (with the 1c-preinstall package).<br />
<br />
== Hardware requirements ==<br />
<br />
* Minimal installation (no software groups selected): '''1,1 GB'''<br />
* Maximum installation (all software groups selected): '''5,2 GB'''<br />
* Default disk partition configuration: '''13 GB''' and more<br />
<br />
== Distribution formats ==<br />
The distribution is available in builds for i586 and x86_64 CPU architectures in two formats:<br />
* DVD image with a choice of boot modes: installation, LiveCD, system rescue;<br />
* CD image with a LiveCD system.<br />
It is possible to install a system within the LiveCD mode (using either the DVD or the CD image). However, LiveCD installation is only supported for workstations, and the selection of installable packages will be different from the one available when setting up a system in the "installation" mode from DVD.<br />
<br />
All images are hybrid and can be recorded on either DVD disks or USB flash drives.<br />
It is recommended to use the dd utility to record the installation images on USB flash drives. In this case, the image should be recorded on the whole drive ('''/dev/sdb'''), and not on an individual partition (/dev/sdb1).<br />
<br />

<br />
ALT Linux 7.0 Centaurus is a multi-purpose distribution for servers and workstations. The distribution includes Linux kernel 3.8.13.3 (std-def). Users can choose between two desktop environments: MATE for workstations and FVWM as a minimalist environment for server administration.<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
[[SeventhPlatform]]<br />
<br />
=== Key features ===<br />
* A choice of configurations (i.e. web server, graphical desktop) during the installation<br />
* A possibility to either set up an integrated network solution based on Kerberos/LDAP/Samba or to use only separate services<br />
* Installation of a variety of server and end-user solutions from a single disk<br />
* Facilitated deployment of diskless client networks<br />
<br />
<br />
== Release date and support cycle ==<br />
Release: 1 July, 2013<br />
<br />
End of support (if other conditions are not agreed upon with the customer): 30 June, 2016, but not earlier than 6 months after the release of ALT Linux 8.0 Centaurus.<br />
<br />
== New in 7.0 release ==<br />
* Support for installation in UEFI mode (for 64-bit versions).<br />
* When setting up with the server profile selected, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_V SysVinit] initialization system is used, when setting up as a workstation, the newer Systemd is used instead. The initialization system can be changed at the stage of package selection.<br />
* Support for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 IPv6] (including Etcnet and Alterator modules).<br />
* Implemented integration with pam_ccreds, which allows to comfortably use a domain-connected computer outside the domain (can be switched on in System Management Center → Authentication).<br />
* Domain can be used to authenticate Windows-based computers.<br />
* There is a choice of domain-enabled applications: mediawiki, owncloud, moodle.<br />
* Introduced support for installation on encrypted partitions (an unencrypted /boot partition is required) with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LUKS LUKS].<br />
* Improved support for execution of 32-bit applications in a 64-bit environment.<br />
* Implemented out-of-the-box support for the popular 1С accounting software (with the 1c-preinstall package).<br />
<br />
== Hardware requirements ==<br />
<br />
* Minimal installation (no software groups selected): '''1,1 GB'''<br />
* Maximum installation (all software groups selected): '''5,2 GB'''<br />
* Default disk partition configuration: '''13 GB''' and more<br />
<br />
== Distribution formats ==<br />
The distribution is available in builds for i586 and x86_64 CPU architectures in two formats:<br />
* DVD image with a choice of boot modes: installation, LiveCD, system rescue;<br />
* CD image with a LiveCD system.<br />
It is possible to install a system within the LiveCD mode (using either the DVD or the CD image). However, LiveCD installation is only supported for workstations, and the selection of installable packages will be different from the one available when setting up a system in the "installation" mode from DVD.<br />
<br />
All images are hybrid and can be recorded on either DVD disks or USB flash drives.<br />
It is recommended to use the dd utility to record the installation images on USB flash drives. In this case, the image should be recorded on the whole drive ('''/dev/sdb'''), and not on an individual partition (/dev/sdb1).<br />
<br />
== Download images ==<br />

<hr />
<div>== What is it? ==<br />
<br />
[http://www.solid-run.com/cubox Cubox] is a small cube-shaped computer with a variety of supported interfaces based on Marvell Armada 510 SoC (armv7).<br />
It is possible to purchase Cubox from the [http://www.solid-run.com/store manufacturer in Israel] or [http://www.newit.co.uk/shop/ from the British distributor].<br />
We recommend the Cubox Pro model that features 2GB RAM.<br />
<br />
== Why we chose Cubox as the target platform for our first supported ARM-based desktop distribution ==<br />
<br />
We have chosen Cubox for several reasons:<br />
* it is a fully-functional ready-assembled system, not just a barebone;<br />
* it is not shipped with a locked pre-installed OS like most tablets and other ARM-based solutions on the market;<br />
* it is an ARM v7<ref>not to be confused with Cortex models; for example, ARM v8 is a family of 64-bit CPUs that are not yet available on the market</ref> system with support for floating-point arithmetic;<br />
* very few devices of this class have 2GB RAM, and it is an important advantage;<br />
* it is very simple to install and re-install an operating system; it only takes two steps: copy the system image to an SD card with the dd utility and then insert the SD card into Cubox;<br />
* it is built on the platform developed by our partner [http://www.marvell.com/ Marvell], and we are able to directly discuss the problems and future plans with them;<br />
* developers of Cubox are easily accessible (see their web forum);<br />
* even when the cube gets really outdated and not very much exciting any longer, you can still install XBMC on it and continue to use it as a home multimedia center.<br />
<br />
We are constantly working with a half-dozen of different ARMv7-based platforms from various manufacturers. In particular, we provide regularly rebuilt images for the popular Nexus 7 platform. We plan to release supported server and desktop distributions for some of these devices<ref>when choosing a platform for such solutions, we consider it crucial to have hardware support for floating-point arithmetic and at least 1 GB of RAM (preferably no less than 2 GB), that is why no ALT Linux distributions are planned for the presently most popular Raspberry Pi system.</ref>.<br />
<br />
== Installing ALT Linux on SolidRun Cubox ==<br />
<br />
In order to start the installation, it is sufficient to have a monitor (or a TV-set) with HDMI input and a microSD card of no less than 8 GB in volume and no less than 10 in speed class<ref>the higher, the better; the 4GB class 4 supplied with the device will make the system run very sluggishly</ref>. You will also need Internet access in order to download and record<ref>the last command should be issued by a user with write privileges for the card-reader device; usually the root user has these privileges</ref> a system image on it, for example:<br />
{{cmd|wget -c http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p7/images/simply/altlinux-7.0.0-simply-cubox-armh.img.gz}}<br />
{{cmd|gunzip altlinux-7.0.0-simply-cubox-armh.img.gz}}<br />
{{cmd|dd if&#61;altlinux-7.0.0-simply-cubox-armh.img of&#61;/dev/mmcblk0 bs&#61;1M}}<br />
<br />
The selection of packages in this system image mostly corresponds to [[Simply Linux]] Live DVD (XFCE, Firefox, LibreOffice4, Gimp, Parole etc.). After the first boot, the system will offer to perform initial configuration. By default, local network is configured via DHCP, while installation of additional software packages can be performed via the pre-configured apt utility.<br />
<br />
In future, there will be images for Cubox with other desktop environments.<br />
<br />
== Functionality ==<br />
The base configuration of the Simply Linux distribution for ARM corresponds to the i586/x86_64 version. When using an SD card, it may take a while for resource-consuming applications (LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp, Audacious) to load. However, once these applications are launched, the execution speed, especially on Cubox Pro with 2 GB of memory, is quite satisfactory, as well as playback of local video files with the Parole video player. It is possible to increase the launch speed of applications with an external SATA drive connected via the eSATA socket.<br />
<br />
Known limitations:<br />
* Lack of CPU support for NEON.<br />
* Hardware-accelerated video playback works for players based on gstreamer-0.10 (parole, kaffeine), but does not work for ffmpeg players.<br />
* As in almost all ARM systems-on-chip, there is support for OpenGL ES, but not for full OpenGL. Therefore, there are currently no 3D games for Linux, while a version of compiz for OpenGL ES is still under development and cannot be supplied with a supported system.<br />
* There is no Adobe Flash Player for Linux on arm v7 hard float. However, it is possible to view YouTube videos with Parole having first downloaded them {{cmd|youtube-dl}} in the flv format.<br />
* HTML5 playback in Simply 7.0.0 is not hardware-accelerated (this problem should be partially remedied in the new versions of Firefox).<br />

* it is shipped without a locked pre-installed system like most tablets and other ARM-based solutions available on the market;<br />
* it is an ARM v7<ref>not to be confused with Cortex models; for example, ARM v8 is a family of 64-bit CPUs that are not yet available on the market</ref> system with hardware support for floating-point operations;<br />
* very few devices of this class have 2GB RAM, which is an important advantage;<br />
* very simple setting up and re-installation of a system: a system image is first copied on a SD card with the dd utility, and the SD card is then inserted into Cubox;<br />
* it is built on the platform developed by our partner [http://www.marvell.com/ Marvell], and we are able directly discuss the problems and future plans;<br />
* developers of Cubox are easily available (see their web forum);<br />
* even when the cube gets really outdated and not exciting any longer, you can still install XBMC on it and continue to use it as a home multimedia center.<br />
<br />
We are constantly working with a half-dozen of different ARMv7-based platforms from various manufacturers. For example, there are regularly rebuilt images for the popular Nexus 7 platform. For some of them we are preparing to release supported distributions for both servers and desktops <ref>when choosing a platform for such solutions, we consider it crucial to have hardware support for floating-point operations and at least 1 GB of RAM (preferably no less than 2 GB), that is why no ALT Linux distributions are planned for the currently most popular Raspberry Pi system.</ref>.<br />
<br />
== Installing ALT Linux on SolidRun Cubox ==<br />
<br />
In order to start the installation, it is sufficient to have a monitor (or a TV-set) with HDMI input and a microSD card of no less than 8 GB in volume and no less than 10 in speed class<ref>the higher, the better; the supplied 4GB class 4 will make the system run very sluggishly</ref>. You will also need Internet access in order to download and record<ref>the last command should be issued by a user with write privileges for the card-reader device; usually the root user has these privileges</ref> a system image on it, for example:<br />
{{cmd|wget -c http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p7/images/simply/altlinux-7.0.0-simply-cubox-armh.img.gz}}<br />
{{cmd|gunzip altlinux-7.0.0-simply-cubox-armh.img.gz}}<br />
{{cmd|dd if&#61;altlinux-7.0.0-simply-cubox-armh.img of&#61;/dev/mmcblk0 bs&#61;1M}}<br />
<br />
The package selection in this system image mostly corresponds to [[Simply Linux]] Live DVD (XFCE, Firefox, LibreOffice4, Gimp, Parole etc.). After the first boot, the system will offer to perform initial configuration. By default, local network is configured via DHCP, while installation of additional software packages can be performed via the pre-configured apt utility.<br />
<br />
In future, there will be images for Cubox with other desktop environments.<br />
<br />
== Functionality ==<br />
The base configuration of the Simply Linux distribution for ARM corresponds to the i586/x86_64 version. When using a SD-card the start-up speed for resource-consuming applications (LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp, Audacious) will be lower, however, the execution speed, especially on Cubox Pro with 2 GB of memory, is quite satisfactory, as well as playback of local video files with Parole video player. It is possible to increase the start-up speed of applications with an external SATA drive connected via the eSATA socket.<br />
<br />
Known limitations:<br />
* Lack of CPU support for NEON.<br />
* Hardware-accelerated video playback works on players based on gstreamer-0.10 (parole, kaffeine), but does not work on ffmpeg players.<br />
* As in almost all ARM systems-on-chip, there is support for OpenGL ES, but not for full OpenGL. Therefore, there are currently no 3D games for Linux, while a version of compiz for OpenGL ES is still under development and cannot be supplied with a supported system.<br />
* There is no Adobe Flash Player for Linux on arm v7 hard float. However, it is possible to view YouTube videos with parole having downloaded them {{cmd|youtube-dl}} in the flv format.<br />
* HTML5 playback in Simply 7.0.0 is not hardware-accelerated (it is expected that this problem should be partially remedied in the new versions of Firefox).<br />

<div>== Product ==<br />
<br />
ALT Linux 7.0 Centaurus is a multi-purpose distribution for servers and workstations. The distribution includes Linux kernel 3.8.13.3 (std-def). Users can choose between two desktop environments: MATE for workstations and FVWM as a minimalist environment for server administration.<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
[[SeventhPlatform]]<br />
<br />
=== Key features ===<br />
* A choice of configurations (i.e. web server, graphical desktop) during installation<br />
* A possibility to either set up an integrated network solution based on Kerberos/LDAP/Samba or to use only individual services<br />
* Installation of a variety of server and end-user solutions from a single disk<br />
* Facilitated deployment of diskless client networks<br />
<br />
<br />
== Release date and support cycle ==<br />
Released: 1 July, 2013<br />
<br />
End of support (if other conditions are not agreed upon with the customer): 30 June, 2016, but not earlier than 6 months after the release of ALT Linux 8.0 Centaurus.<br />
<br />
== New in 7.0 release ==<br />
* Support for installation in UEFI mode (for 64-bit versions).<br />
* When setting up with the server profile selected, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_V SysVinit] initialisation system is used, when setting up as a workstation, Systemd is used. The initialisation system can be changed during the selection of packages.<br />
* Support for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 IPv6] (including Etcnet and Alterator modules).<br />
* Implemented integration with pam_ccreds, which allows to comfortably use a computer that is connected to a domain outside that domain (can be switched on in System Management Center → Authentification).<br />
* Domain can be used to authentify Windows-based computers.<br />
* The package includes domain-integrated applications: mediawiki, owncloud, moodle that are available for optional installation.<br />
* Introduced support for installation on encrypted partitions (an unencrypted /boot partition is required) with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LUKS LUKS].<br />
* Improved support for execution of 32-bit applications in 64-bit environment.<br />
* Implemented out-of-the-box support for the popular 1С accounting software (with the 1c-preinstall package).<br />
<br />
== Hardware requirements ==<br />
<br />
* Minimal installation (no software groups selected): '''1,1 GB'''<br />
* Maximum installation (all software groups selected): '''5,2 GB'''<br />
* Default disk partition configuration: '''13 GB''' and more<br />
<br />
== Distribution formats ==<br />
The distribution is available in builds for i586 and x86_64 CPU architectures in two formats:<br />
* DVD image with a choice of boot modes: installation, LiveCD, system rescue;<br />
* CD image with a LiveCD system.<br />
It is possible to install a system within the LiveCD mode (using either DVD or CD image). However, LiveCD installation is only supported for workstations, and the selection of installable packages will be different from the one available when setting up a system in the "installation" mode from DVD.<br />
<br />
All images are hybrid and can be recorded on either DVD disks or USB flash drives.<br />
It is recommended to use the dd utility to record the installation images on USB flash drives. In this case, the image should be recorded on the whole drive ('''/dev/sdb'''), and not on an individual partition (/dev/sdb1).<br />
<br />
== Download images ==<br />
<br />
The following locations support both ftp:// and http:// access:<br />
* ftp://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p7/images/centaurus/ (main server)<br />
* ftp://ftp.linux.kiev.ua/pub/Linux/ALT/p7/images/centaurus/<br />

<hr />
<div>== Product ==<br />
<br />
ALT Linux 7.0 Centaurus is a multi-purpose distribution for servers and workstations. The distribution includes Linux kernel 3.8.13.3 (std-def). Users can choose between two desktop environments: MATE for workstations and FVWM as a minimalist environment for server administration.<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
[[SeventhPlatform]]<br />
<br />
=== Key features ===<br />
* A choice of configurations (i.e. web server, graphical desktop) during installation<br />
* A possibility to either set up an integrated network solution based on Kerberos/LDAP/Samba or to use only individual services<br />
* Installation of a variety of server and end-user solutions from a single disk<br />
* Facilitated deployment of diskless client networks<br />
<br />
<br />
== Release date and support cycle ==<br />
Released: 1 July, 2013<br />
<br />
End of support (if other conditions are not agreed upon with the customer): 30 June, 2016, but not earlier than 6 months after the release of ALT Linux 8.0 Centaurus.<br />
<br />
== New in 7.0 release ==<br />
* Support for installation in UEFI mode (for 64-bit versions).<br />
* When setting up with the server profile selected, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_V SysVinit] initialisation system is used, when setting up as a workstation, Systemd is used. The initialisation system can be changed during the selection of packages.<br />
* Support for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 IPv6] (including Etcnet and Alterator modules).<br />
* Implemented integration with pam_ccreds, which allows to comfortably use a computer that is connected to a domain outside that domain (can be switched on in System Management Center → Authentification).<br />
* Domain can be used to authentify Windows-based computers.<br />
* The package includes domain-integrated applications: mediawiki, owncloud, moodle that are available for optional installation.<br />
* Introduced support for installation on encrypted partitions (an unencrypted /boot partition is required) with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LUKS LUKS].<br />
* Improved support for execution of 32-bit applications in 64-bit environment.<br />
* Implemented out-of-the-box support for the popular 1С accounting software (with the 1c-preinstall package).<br />
<br />
== Hardware requirements ==<br />
<br />
* Minimal installation (no software groups selected): '''1,1 GB'''<br />
* Maximum installation (all software groups selected): '''5,2 GB'''<br />
* Default disk partition configuration: '''13 GB''' and more<br />
<br />
== Distribution formats ==<br />
The distribution is available in builds for i586 and x86_64 CPU architectures in two formats:<br />
* DVD image with a choice of boot modes: installation, LiveCD, system rescue;<br />
* CD image with a LiveCD system.<br />
It is possible to install a system within the LiveCD mode (using either DVD or CD image). However, LiveCD installation is only supported for workstations, and the selection of installable packages will be different from the one available when setting up a system in the "installation" mode from DVD.<br />
<br />
All images are hybrid and can be recorded on either DVD disks or USB flash drives.<br />
It is recommended to use the dd utility to record the installation images on USB flash drives. In this case, the image should be recorded on the whole drive ('''/dev/sdb'''), and not on an individual partition (/dev/sdb1).<br />
<br />
== Download images ==<br />

<br />
ALT Linux 7.0 Centaurus is a multi-purpose distribution for servers and workstations. The distribution includes Linux kernel 3.8.13.3 (std-def). Users can choose between two desktop environments: MATE for workstations and FVWM as a minimalist environment for server administration.<br />
<br />
== Platform ==<br />
[[SeventhPlatform]]<br />
<br />
=== Key features ===<br />
* A choice of configurations (i.e. web server, graphical desktop) during installation<br />
* A possibility to either set up an integrated network solution based on Kerberos/LDAP/Samba or to use only individual services<br />
* Installation of a variety of server and end-user solutions from a single disk<br />
* Facilitated deployment of diskless client networks<br />
<br />
<br />
== Release date and support cycle ==<br />
Released: 1 July, 2013<br />
<br />
End of support (if other conditions are not agreed upon with the customer): 30 June, 2016, but not earlier than 6 months after the release of ALT Linux 8.0 Centaurus.<br />
<br />
== New in 7.0 release ==<br />
* Support for installation in UEFI mode (for 64-bit versions).<br />
* When setting up with the server profile selected, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_V SysVinit] initialisation system is used, when setting up as a workstation, Systemd is used. The initialisation system can be changed during the selection of packages.<br />
* Support for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 IPv6] (including Etcnet and Alterator modules).<br />
* Implemented integration with pam_ccreds, which allows to comfortably use a computer that is connected to a domain outside that domain (can be switched on in System Management Center → Authentification).<br />
* Domain can be used to authentify Windows-based computers.<br />
* The package includes domain-integrated applications: mediawiki, owncloud, moodle that are available for optional installation.<br />
* Introduced support for installation on encrypted partitions (an unencrypted /boot partition is required) with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LUKS LUKS].<br />
* Improved support for execution of 32-bit applications in 64-bit environment.<br />
* Implemented out-of-the-box support for the popular 1С accounting software (with the 1c-preinstall package).<br />
<br />
<br />
== Hardware requirements ==<br />
<br />
* Minimal installation (no software groups selected): '''1,1 GB'''<br />
* Maximum installation (all software groups selected): '''5,2 GB'''<br />
* Default disk partition configuration: '''13 GB''' and more<br />
<br />
== Distribution formats ==<br />
The distribution is available in builds for i586 and x86_64 CPU architectures in two formats:<br />
* DVD image with a choice of boot modes: installation, LiveCD, system rescue;<br />
* CD image with a LiveCD system.<br />
It is possible to install a system within the LiveCD mode (using either DVD or CD image). However, LiveCD installation is only supported for workstations, and the selection of installable packages will be different from the one available when setting up a system in the "installation" mode from DVD.<br />
<br />
All images are hybrid and can be recorded on either DVD disks or USB flash drives.<br />
It is recommended to use the dd utility to record the installation images on USB flash drives. In this case, the image should be recorded on the whole drive ('''/dev/sdb'''), and not on an individual partition (/dev/sdb1).<br />
<br />
== Download images ==<br />
<br />
The following locations support both ftp:// and http:// access:<br />
* ftp://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p7/images/centaurus/ (main server)<br />

<div>== What is it? ==<br />
<br />
[http://www.solid-run.com/cubox Cubox ] is a small cube-shaped computer with a variety of supported interfaces based on Marvell Armada 510 SoC (armv7).<br />
It is possible to purchase Cubox from the [http://www.solid-run.com/store manufacturer in Israel] or [http://www.newit.co.uk/shop/ from a British distributor ].<br />
We recommend the Cubox Pro model that features 2GB RAM.<br />
<br />
== Why we chose Cubox for our first supported ARM-based desktop distribution ==<br />
<br />
We have chosen Cubox for several reasons:<br />
* it is a fully-functional system in a box, not a barebone;<br />
* it is shipped without a locked preinstalled system like most tablets and other ARM-based solutions available on the market;<br />
* it is an ARM v7<ref>not to be confused with Cortex models; for example, ARM v8 is a family of 64-bit CPUs that are not yet available on the market</ref> system with hardware support for floating-point operations;<br />
* very few devices of this class have 2GB RAM, which is an important advantage;<br />
* very simple setting up and reinstallation of a system: a system image is first copied on a SD card with the dd utility, and the SD card is then inserted into Cubox;<br />
* it is built on the platform desveloped by our partner [http://www.marvell.com/ Marvell], and we are able directly discuss the problems and future plans;<br />
* developers of Cubox are easily available (see their web forum);<br />
* even when the cube gets really outdated and not exciting any longer, you can still install XBMC on it and continue to use it as a home multimedia center.<br />
<br />
We are constantly working with a half-dozen of different ARMv7-based platforms from various manufacturers. For example, there are regularly rebuilt images for the popular Nexus 7 platform. For some of them we are preparing to release supported distributions for both servers and desktops <ref>when choosing a platform for such solutions, we consider it crucial to have hardware support for floating-point operations and at least 1 GB of RAM (preferrably no less than 2 GB), that is why no ALT Linux distributions are planned for the currently most popular Raspberry Pi system.</ref>.<br />
<br />
== Installing ALT Linux on SolidRun Cubox ==<br />
<br />
In order to start the installation, it is sufficient to have a monitor (or a TV-set) with HDMI input and a microSD card of no less than 8 GB in volume and no less than 10 in speed class<ref>the higher, the better; the supplied 4GB class 4 will make the system run very sluggishly</ref>. You will also need Internet access in order to download and record<ref>the last command should be issued by a user with write privileges for the card-reader device; usually the root user has these privileges</ref> a system image on it, for example:<br />
{{cmd|wget -c http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p7/images/simply/altlinux-7.0.0-simply-cubox-armh.img.gz}}<br />
{{cmd|gunzip altlinux-7.0.0-simply-cubox-armh.img.gz}}<br />
{{cmd|dd if&#61;altlinux-7.0.0-simply-cubox-armh.img of&#61;/dev/mmcblk0 bs&#61;1M}}<br />
<br />
The package selection in this system image mostly corresponds to [[Simply Linux]] Live DVD (XFCE, Firefox, LibreOffice4, Gimp, Parole etc.). After the first boot, the system will offer to perform initial configuration. By default, local network is configured via DHCP, while installation of additional software packages can be performed via the pre-configured apt utility.<br />
<br />
In future, there will be images for Cubox with other desktop environments.<br />
<br />
== Functionality ==<br />
The base configuration of the Simply Linux distribution for ARM corresponds to the i586/x86_64 version. When using a SD-card the start-up speed for resource-consuming applications (LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp, Audacious) will be lower, however, the execution speed, especially on Cubox Pro with 2 GB of memory, is quite satisfactory, as well as playback of local video files with Parole video player. It is possible to increase the start-up speed of applications with an external SATA drive connected via the eSATA socket.<br />
<br />
Known limitations:<br />
* Lack of CPU support for NEON.<br />
* Hardware-accelerated video playback works on players based on gstreamer-0.10 (parole, kaffeine), but does not work on ffmpeg players.<br />
* As in almost all ARM systems-on-chip, there is support for OpenGL ES, but not for full OpenGL. Therefore, there are currently no 3D games for Linux, while a version of compiz for OpenGL ES is still under development and cannot be supplied with a supported system.<br />
* There is no Adobe Flash Player for Linux on arm v7 hard float. However, it is possible to view YouTube videos with parole having downloaded them {{cmd|youtube-dl}} in the flv format.<br />
* HTML5 playback in Simply 7.0.0 is not hardware-accelerated (it is expected that this problem should be partially remedied in the new versions of Firefox).<br />

Дистрибутив поставляется для двух архитектур: i586 и x86_64 в двух вариантах:<br />
* образ DVD с возможностью загрузки в режимах: установка, LiveCD, восстановление системы;<br />
* образ CD с LiveCD системой.<br />
Установка возможна и из режима LiveCD (как при загрузке образа DVD, так и CD), но при этом можно установить только рабочую станцию и набор устанавливаемых пакетов при этом будет отличаться от установки в режиме "установка" с DVD.<br />
<br />
Все образы являются гибридными, то есть пригодны для записи как на DVD-диски, так и на USB-флеш-диски.<br />
Запись на USB-флеш диски осуществляется утилитой dd (на весь диск целиком, а не на раздел, то есть, например, не на /dev/sdb1, а на '''/dev/sdb'''). [[Write|Инструкция по записи образов.]]<br />

'''On April 29 2013 ALT Linux announced the release of the Seventh Platform.'''<br />
<br />
The Seventh Platform (p7 Trientalis) is a new stable branch of ALT Linux repositories designed for development, testing, distribution, updating and support of all kinds of complex IT systems, ranging from embedded and mobile devices to enterprise servers and data-centers. The Seventh Platform is created by the ALT Linux Team as part of the Sisyphus project and is maintained by the ALT Linux company.<br />
<br />
== What's new? ==<br />
=== Full support for ARMv7 architecture ===<br />
ARMv7 repository (armh) is now integrated into the Seventh Platform, and, thanks to the newest server equipment from Marvell (Marvell Technology Group Ltd), the package versions are now synchronized with the p7 i586/x86_64 repository.<br />
<br />
The armh repository within the Seventh Platform contains approximately 10000 source packages that allow to create integrated server, desktop, mobile and embedded systems within the unified framework of the Seventh Platform based on the ARMv7 architecture.<br />
<br />
=== New features in the installation utility ===<br />
The installation utility is now upgraded to support UEFI. Additionally, it now allows to create and install onto the LUKS encrypted partitions.<br />
<br />
=== Support for systemd with continuing support of sysvinit ===<br />
The Seventh Platform supports the new initialization system systemd. This system is recommended for advanced desktop environments deployed within the p7 framework. sysvinit, a legacy initialization system that has been used in Linux/Unix system over several decades, is still supported for simpler server and GUI installations.<br />
<br />
=== Support for IPv6 ===<br />
Support for IPv6 protocol is implemented in the core server and client network services.<br />
<br />
=== Extra features of ALT Linux network domains ===<br />
The Seventh Platform introduces streamlined authentification of Microsoft(R)Windows(tm) systems. It is now possible to work on a computer using a domain account even when the domain is not available. Domain management within the unified configuration management utility alterator has been substantially improved. Full migration to Samba 4 has been completed.<br />
<br />
=== Provisional implementation of Deepsolver package management system ===<br />
The first beta releases of the [http://deepsolver.altlinux.org/ Deepsolver] project are being tested in the package building infrastructure and are accessible in the experimental system images.<br />
<br />
=== Redesigned biarch subsystem ===<br />
Arepo 2.0, a new subsystem for execution of 32-bit applications on 64-bit platforms, now eliminates the risk of desynchronization of repositories. Arepo 2.0 has been integrated into the Sixth Platform alongside Arepo 1.0, and, after a period of comprehensive testing, it now becomes the only available subsystem.<br />
<br />
== Versions of subsystems and packages ==<br />
The Seventh Platform repositories will be continually updated over the course of the support period. As of the initial p7 release date, they include:<br />
* Linux 3.8.9 kernel (std-def as the default option, un-def), 2.6.32 with OpenVZ and up-to-date patches (ovz-el), 3.4.42 (led-ws, alternate)<br />
* systemd 201<br />
* GNU Libc 2.17, GCC 4.7.2, python 2.7.4 and 3.3.1, perl 5.16.3<br />
* xorg-server 1.14.1, Mesa 9.1.1<br />
* GNOME 3.8.1, KDE 4.10.2, MATE 1.6, Xfce 4.10, Enlightenment 0.17.2.1<br />
* Firefox 20, LibreOffice 4.0.2.2<br />
<br />
Components and versions of other packages can be checked on the [http://packages.altlinux.org/en/p7/home/ Prometheus] project website.<br />
<br />
== Faster time to production with pre-configured system images for the Seventh Platform repositories ==<br />
Users who prefer to customize the components and graphical layout of their systems will appreciate the possibility to use the compact installation images with different desktop environments that are sufficient to quickly start working with the Seventh Platform and implement further customisations. Several [http://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p7/images/starterkits/ starter kits] have been created and published to facilitate this style of work. They support i586 and x86_64 architectures (Enlightenment, GNOME, Icewm, KDE, LXDE, MATE, Razor-qt, Trinity, and Xfce desktop environments), and ARMv7/Nexus7 architecture (Englightenment, KDE). The Nexus7 platform for ARMv7 has been chosen as the most widespread and sufficiently open.<br />
<br />
The choice of starter kits for p7 will continue to expand in future, and the images will be updated after any significant changes in the repository.<br />
<br />
Installation of images on Nexus 7 still requires carefulness and qualification.<br />
<br />
It is notable that ''' p7 starter kits are not OS distributions''' as they do not contain neither full-fledged software solutions, nor consistent look-and-feel.<br />
<br />
== ALT Linux distributions based on the Seventh Platform ==<br />
=== Centaurus 7.0 ===<br />
<br />
ALT Linux 7.0 Centaurus is a free multi-functional distribution for servers and workstations with easy-to-use configuration and management tools. MATE 1.6 is optionally provided as a graphic environment for workstations, and FVWM is optionally provided as a minimalist graphic environment for server administration purposes.<br />
<br />
In addition to the new p7 features described above, the new version of Centaurus provides out-of-the-box integration of moodle, mediawiki, and owncloud with ALT domains.<br />
<br />
Release date: May-June 2013.<br />
<br />
A current [http://beta.altlinux.com/p7/centaurus/ beta version] built with p7 is available.<br />
<br />
=== KDesktop 7.0 ===<br />
<br />
KDesktop 7.0 is a universal multi-purpose end-user system that includes everything necessary for office productivity, authoring of various graphics and animations, processing of sound and video, as well as software development and educational needs. Users can customise their systems and select the desired functionality during installation. This new version of KDesktop is based on KDE 4.10.<br />
<br />
Release date: June 2013<br />
<br />
A beta version built with p7 will be available before May 20, 2013.<br />
<br />
=== Simply Linux 7.0 ===<br />
<br />
Simply Linux 7.0 is a simple distribution for enterprise and home users. This new version is based on XFCE 4.10.<br />
<br />
Release date: May 2013<br />
<br />
A current [http://beta.altlinux.com/p7/simply/ beta version] built with p7 is available.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
Development of new security-enhanced solutions based on the Seventh Platform is currently underway.<br />
<br />
New integrated solutions for educational institutions are currently being co-developed with [http://informika.ru/ the State Institute of Information Technologies and Telecommunications "Informika"].<br />
<br />

<br />
== Upgrading to the Seventh Platform ==<br />
<!-- Before upgrading to the Seventh Platform from a previous version, please read the [[Update/p7|upgrade instructions]] carefully. --><br />
In case of any problems, please do not make any hurried decisions, instead please ask your questions at our [http://forum.altlinux.ru/ forum] or [https://lists.altlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/community-en/ mailing list].<br />
<br />
== Known problems ==<br />
* Old version of TeXlive (2008.0).<br />
* As of the initial release date, the Seventh Platform includes the supported production-quality version of PHP: 5.3.24. Upgrade towards PHP 5.4 has been delayed due to a large number of actively used applications that do not support the new version.<br />
* Migration of Java subsystems to the new build system has not been fully completed. Therefore, eclipse-cdt and eclipse-changelog packages remain the only packages that cannot be rebuilt within the p7 environment.</div>EgorGrebnevhttps://en.altlinux.org/index.php?title=ALT_Linux_Wiki:SeventhPlatform&diff=685ALT Linux Wiki:SeventhPlatform2013-05-15T09:13:22Z<p>EgorGrebnev: </p>

'''On April 29 2013 ALT Linux announced the release of the Seventh Platform.'''<br />
<br />
The Seventh Platform (p7 Trientalis) is a new stable branch of ALT Linux repositories designed to be employed in development, testing, distribution, updating and support of all kinds of complex solutions, ranging from embedded and mobile devices to enterprise servers and data-centers. The Seventh Platform is created by the ALT Linux Team as a part of the Sisyphus project and maintained by the ALT Linux company.<br />
<br />
== What's new? ==<br />
=== ARMv7 architecture fully supported ===<br />
ARMv7 repository (armh) is now integrated into the Seventh Platform, and, thanks to the newest server equipment from Marvell (Marvell Technology Group Ltd), the package versions are now synchronized with the p7 i586/x86_64 repository.<br />
<br />
The armh repository within the Seventh Platform contains approximately 10000 source packages that allow to create integrated server, desktop, mobile and embedded solutions within the unified framework of the Seventh Platform based on the ARMv7 architecture.<br />
<br />
=== New features in the installation utility ===<br />
The installation utility is now upgraded to support [[UEFI]]. Additionally, it now allows to create and install onto the LUKS encrypted partitions.<br />
<br />
=== Support for systemd with continuing support of sysvinit ===<br />
The Seventh Platform supports the new initialization system [[systemd]]. This system is recommended for advanced desktop environments deployed within the p7 framework. sysvinit, a legacy initialization system that has been used in Linux/Unix system over several decades, is still supported for simpler server and GUI solutions.<br />
<br />
=== Support for IPv6 ===<br />
Support for IPv6 protocol is implemented in the core server and client network services.<br />
<br />
=== Extended features of ALT Linux network domains ===<br />
The Seventh Platform introduces streamlined authentification of Microsoft(R)Windows(tm) systems. It is now possible to work on a computer using a domain account even when the domain is not available. Domain management within the unified configuration management utility alterator has been substantially improved. Full migration to Samba 4 has been accomplished.<br />
<br />
=== Provisional implementation of the Deepsolver package management system ===<br />
The first beta releases of the [http://deepsolver.altlinux.org/ Deepsolver] project are being tested in the package building infrastructure and are accessible in the experimental system images.<br />
<br />
=== Redesigned biarch subsystem ===<br />
[[Arepo]] 2.0, a new subsystem for execution of 32-bit applications on 64-bit platforms, now eliminates the possibility of desynchronization of repositories. Arepo 2.0 has been integrated into the Sixth Platform alongside Arepo 1.0, and after a period of comprehensive testing now becomes the only available subsystem.<br />
<br />
== Subsystem and package versions ==<br />
The Seventh Platform repositories will be updated over the course of the support period. For the initial p7 release date, they include:<br />
* Linux 3.8.9 kernel (std-def as the default option, un-def), 2.6.32 with [[OpenVZ]] and up-to-date patches (ovz-el), 3.4.42 (led-ws, alternate)<br />
* systemd 201<br />
* GNU Libc 2.17, GCC 4.7.2, python 2.7.4 and 3.3.1, perl 5.16.3<br />
* xorg-server 1.14.1, Mesa 9.1.1<br />
* GNOME 3.8.1, KDE 4.10.2, MATE 1.6, Xfce 4.10, Enlightenment 0.17.2.1<br />
* Firefox 20, LibreOffice 4.0.2.2<br />
<br />
Components and versions of other packages can be checked on the [http://packages.altlinux.org/en/p7/home/ Prometheus] project website.<br />
<br />
== Faster time to production with pre-configured system images for the Seventh Platform repositories ==<br />
Users who prefer to customize the components and graphical layout of their systems will certainly appreciate the possibility to use the compact installation images with different desktop environments that are suffucient to quickly start working with the Seventh Platform and implement further customisations. Several [http://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p7/images/starterkits/ starter kits] have been created and published to facilitate this style of work. They support i586 and x86_64 architectures (Enlightenment, GNOME, Icewm, KDE, LXDE, MATE, Razor-qt, Trinity, and Xfce desktop environments), and ARMv7/Nexus7 architecture (Englightenment, KDE). The Nexus7 platform for ARMv7 has been chosen as the most widespread and sufficiently open.<br />
<br />
The choice of starter kits for p7 will continue to expand in future, and the images will be updated after any significant changes in the repository.<br />
<br />
[[Insallation_on_Nexus_7|Installation of images on Nexus 7]] still requires carefulness and qualification.<br />
<br />
It is notable that ''' p7 starter kits are not OS distributions''' as they do not contain neither full-fledged software solutions, nor consistent look-and-feel.<br />
<br />
== ALT Linux distributions based on the Seventh Platform ==<br />
=== Centaurus 7.0 ===<br />
<br />
ALT Linux 7.0 Centaurus is a free multi-functional distribution for servers and workstations with easy-to-use configuration and management tools. MATE 1.6 is optionally provided as a graphic environment for workstations, and FVWM is optionally provided as a minimalist graphic environment for server administration.<br />
<br />
In addition to the new p7 features described above, the new version of Centaurus provides out-of-the-box integration of moodle, mediawiki and owncloud with ALT domains.<br />
<br />
Release date: May-June 2013.<br />
<br />
A current [http://beta.altlinux.com/p7/centaurus/ beta version] built with p7 is available.<br />
<br />
=== KDesktop 7.0 ===<br />
<br />
KDesktop 7.0 is a universal multi-purpose end-user system that includes everything necessary for office productivity, authoring of various graphics and animations, processing of sound and video, as well as software development and educational tools. Users can customise their systems and select the desired functionality during installation. This new version of KDesktop is based on KDE 4.10.<br />
<br />
Release date: June 2013<br />
<br />
A beta version built with p7 will be available before May 20, 2013.<br />
<br />
=== Simply Linux 7.0 ===<br />
<br />
Simply Linux 7.0 is a simple distribution for enterprise and home users. This new version is based on XFCE 4.10.<br />
<br />
Release date: May 2013<br />
<br />
A current [http://beta.altlinux.com/p7/simply/ beta version] built with p7 is available.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
Development of new security-enhanced solutions based on the Seventh Platform is currently underway.<br />
<br />
New integrated solutions for educational institutions are currently being co-developed with [http://informika.ru/ the State Institute of Information Technologies and Telecommunications "Informika"].<br />

<br />
== Upgrading to the Seventh Platform ==<br />
Before upgrading to the Seventh Platform from a previous version, please read the [[Update/p7|upgrade instructions]] carefully. In case of any problems, please do not make any hurried decisions, instead please ask your questions at our [http://forum.altlinux.ru/ forum] or [https://lists.altlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/community-en/ mailing list].<br />
<br />
== Known problems ==<br />
* Old version of TeXlive (2008.0).<br />
* At the time of release, the Seventh Platform includes the supported production-quality version of PHP: 5.3.24. Upgrade towards php 5.4 has been delayed due to a large number of currently used applications that do not support the new version.<br />
* Migration of Java subsystems to the new build system has not been fully completed. Therefore, eclipse-cdt and eclipse-changelog packages remain the only packages that cannot be rebuilt within the p7 environment.</div>EgorGrebnevhttps://en.altlinux.org/index.php?title=ALT_Linux_Wiki:SeventhPlatform&diff=682ALT Linux Wiki:SeventhPlatform2013-05-04T21:35:55Z<p>EgorGrebnev: /* Faster time to production with pre-configured system images for the Seventh Platform repositories */</p>

'''On April 29 2013 ALT Linux announced the release of the Seventh Platform.'''<br />
<br />
The Seventh Platform (p7 Trientalis) is a new stable branch of ALT Linux repositories designed to be employed in development, testing, distribution, updating and support of all kinds of complex solutions, ranging from embedded and mobile devices to enterprise servers and data-centers. The Seventh Platform is created by the ALT Linux Team as a part of the Sisyphus project and maintained by the ALT Linux company.<br />
<br />
== What's new? ==<br />
=== ARMv7 architecture fully supported ===<br />
ARMv7 repository (armh) is now integrated into the Seventh Platform, and, thanks to the newest server equipment from Marvell (Marvell Technology Group Ltd), the package versions are now synchronized with the p7 i586/x86_64 repository.<br />
<br />
The armh repository within the Seventh Platform contains approximately 10000 source packages that allow to create integrated server, desktop, mobile and embedded solutions within the unified framework of the Seventh Platform based on the ARMv7 architecture.<br />
<br />
=== New features in the installation utility ===<br />
The installation utility is now upgraded to support [[UEFI]]. Additionally, it now allows to create and install onto the LUKS encrypted partitions.<br />
<br />
=== Support for systemd with continuing support of sysvinit ===<br />
The Seventh Platform supports the new initialization system [[systemd]]. This system is recommended for advanced desktop environments deployed within the p7 framework. sysvinit, a legacy initialization system that has been used in Linux/Unix system over several decades, is still supported for simpler server and GUI solutions.<br />
<br />
=== Support for IPv6 ===<br />
Support for IPv6 protocol is implemented in the core server and client network services.<br />
<br />
=== Extended features of ALT Linux network domains ===<br />
The Seventh Platform introduces streamlined authentification of Microsoft(R)Windows(tm) systems. It is now possible to work on a computer using a domain account even when the domain is not available. Domain management within the unified configuration management utility alterator has been substantially improved. Full migration to Samba 4 has been accomplished.<br />
<br />
=== Provisional implementation of the Deepsolver package management system ===<br />
The first beta releases of the [http://deepsolver.altlinux.org/ Deepsolver] project are being tested in the package building infrastructure and are accessible in the experimental system images.<br />
<br />
=== Redesigned biarch subsystem ===<br />
[[Arepo]] 2.0, a new subsystem for execution of 32-bit applications on 64-bit platforms, now eliminates the possibility of desynchronization of repositories. Arepo 2.0 has been integrated into the Sixth Platform alongside Arepo 1.0, and after a period of comprehensive testing now becomes the only available subsystem.<br />
<br />
== Subsystem and package versions ==<br />
The Seventh Platform repositories will be updated over the support period. For the p7 release date, they include:<br />
* Linux 3.8.9 kernel (std-def as the default option, un-def), 2.6.32 with [[OpenVZ]] and up-to-date patches (ovz-el), 3.4.42 (led-ws, alternate)<br />
* systemd 201<br />
* GNU Libc 2.17, GCC 4.7.2, python 2.7.4 and 3.3.1, perl 5.16.3<br />
* xorg-server 1.14.1, Mesa 9.1.1<br />
* GNOME 3.8.1, KDE 4.10.2, MATE 1.6, Xfce 4.10, Enlightenment 0.17.2.1<br />
* Firefox 20, LibreOffice 4.0.2.2<br />
<br />
Components and versions of other packages can be checked on the [http://packages.altlinux.org/en/p7/home/ Prometheus] project website.<br />
<br />
== Faster time to production with pre-configured system images for the Seventh Platform repositories ==<br />
Users who prefer to customize the components and graphical layout of their systems will certainly appreciate the possibility to use the compact installation images with different desktop environments that are suffucient to start working with the Seventh Platform and implement further customisation. Several [http://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p7/images/starterkits/ starter kits] have been created and published to facilitate this style of work. They support i586 and x86_64 architectures (Enlightenment, GNOME, Icewm, KDE, LXDE, MATE, Razor-qt, Trinity, and Xfce desktop environments), and ARMv7/Nexus7 architecture (Englightenment, KDE). The Nexus7 platform for ARMv7 has been chosen as the most widespread and sufficiently open.<br />
<br />
The choice of starter kits for p7 will continue to expand in future, and the images will be updated after any significant changes in the repository.<br />
<br />
[[Insallation_on_Nexus_7|Installation of images on Nexus 7]] still requires attention and qualification.<br />
<br />
It is notable that ''' p7 starter kits are not OS distributions''' as they do not contain neither full-fledged software solutions, nor consistent look-and-feel.<br />
<br />
== ALT Linux distributions based on the Seventh Platform ==<br />
=== Centaurus 7.0 ===<br />
<br />
ALT Linux 7.0 Centaurus is a free multi-functional distribution for servers and workstations with easy-to-use configuration and management tools. MATE 1.6 is optionally provided as a graphic environment for workstations, and FVWM is optionally provided as a minimalist graphic environment for server administration.<br />
<br />
In addition to the new p7 features described above, the new version of Centaurus provides out-of-the-box integration of moodle, mediawiki and owncloud with ALT domains.<br />
<br />
Release date: May-June 2013.<br />

<br />
=== KDesktop 7.0 ===<br />
<br />
KDesktop 7.0 is a universal multi-purpose end-user system that includes everything necessary for office productivity, authoring of various graphics and animations, processing of sound and video, as well as software development and educational tools. Users can customise their systems and select the desired functionality during installation. This new version of KDesktop is based on KDE 4.10.<br />
<br />

This system is recommended for advanced desktop environments deployed within the p7 framework. sysvinit, a legacy initialization system that has been used in Linux/Unix system over several decades, is still supported for simpler server and GUI solutions.<br />
<br />
=== Support for IPv6 ===<br />
Support for IPv6 protocol is implemented in the core server and client network services.<br />
<br />
=== Extended features of ALT Linux network domains ===<br />
The Seventh Platform introduces streamlined authentification of Microsoft(R)Windows(tm) systems. It is now possible to work using a domain account even when the domain is not available. Domain management within the unified configuration management utility alterator is substantially improved. Full migration to Samba 4 has been accomplished.<br />
<br />
=== Provisional implementation of the Deepsolver package management system ===<br />
The first beta releases of the [http://deepsolver.altlinux.org/ Deepsolver] project are being tested in the package building infrastructure and are accessible in the experimental system images.<br />
<br />
=== Redesigned biarch subsystem ===<br />
[[Arepo]] 2.0, a new subsystem for execution of 32-bit applications on 64-bit platforms, now eliminates the possibility of desynchronisation of repositories. Arepo 2.0 has been integrated into the Sixth Platform alongside Arepo 1.0, and after a period of comprehensive testing now becomes the only available subsystem.<br />
<br />
== Subsystem and package versions ==<br />
The Seventh Platform repositories will be updated over the support period. For the p7 release date, they include:<br />
* Linux 3.8.9 kernel (std-def as the default option, un-def), 2.6.32 with [[OpenVZ]] and up-to-date patches (ovz-el), 3.4.42 (led-ws, alternate)<br />
* systemd 201<br />
* GNU Libc 2.17, GCC 4.7.2, python 2.7.4 and 3.3.1, perl 5.16.3<br />
* xorg-server 1.14.1, Mesa 9.1.1<br />
* GNOME 3.8.1, KDE 4.10.2, MATE 1.6, Xfce 4.10, Enlightenment 0.17.2.1<br />
* Firefox 20, LibreOffice 4.0.2.2<br />
<br />
Components and versions of other packages can be checked on the [http://packages.altlinux.org/en/p7/home/ Prometheus] project website.<br />
<br />
== Faster time to production with pre-configured system images for the Seventh Platform repositories ==<br />
Users who prefer to customize the components and graphical layout of their systems will certainly appreciate the possibility to use the compact installation images with different desktop environments that are suffucient to start working with the Seventh Platform and implement further customisation. Several [http://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p7/images/starterkits/ starter kits] have been created and published to facilitate this style of work. They support i586 and x86_64 architectures (Enlightenment, GNOME, Icewm, KDE, LXDE, MATE, Razor-qt, Trinity, and Xfce desktop environments), and ARMv7/Nexus7 architecture (Englightenment, KDE). The Nexus7 platform for ARMv7 has been chosen as the most widespread and sufficiently open.<br />
<br />
The choice of starter kits for p7 will continue to expand in future, and the images will be updated after any significant changes in the repository.<br />
<br />
[[Insallation_on_Nexus_7|Installation of images on Nexus 7]] still requires attention and qualification.<br />
<br />
It is notable that ''' p7 starter kits are not OS distributions''' as they do not contain neither full-fledged software solutions, nor consistent look-and-feel.<br />
<br />
== ALT Linux distributions based on the Seventh Platform ==<br />
=== Centaurus 7.0 ===<br />
<br />
ALT Linux 7.0 Centaurus is a free multi-functional distribution for servers and workstations with easy-to-use configuration and management tools. MATE 1.6 is optionally provided as a graphic environment for workstations, and FVWM is optionally provided as a minimalist graphic environment for server administration.<br />
<br />
In addition to the new p7 features described above, the new version of Centaurus provides out-of-the-box integration of moodle, mediawiki and owncloud with ALT domains.<br />
<br />

* Outdated version of TeXlive (2008.0).<br />
* At the time of release, the Seventh Platform includes the supported production-quality version of PHP: 5.3.24. Upgrade towards php 5.4 has been delayed due to a large number of currently used applications that do not support the new version.<br />
* Migration of Java subsystems to the new build system has not been fully completed. Therefore, eclipse-cdt and eclipse-changelog packages remain the only packages that cannot be rebuilt within the p7 environment.</div>EgorGrebnevhttps://en.altlinux.org/index.php?title=ALT_Linux_Wiki:SeventhPlatform&diff=675ALT Linux Wiki:SeventhPlatform2013-05-04T21:31:51Z<p>EgorGrebnev: /* Support for systemd with continuing support of sysvinit */</p>

'''On April 29 2013 ALT Linux announced the release of the Seventh Platform.'''<br />
<br />
The Seventh Platform (p7 Trientalis) is a new stable branch of ALT Linux repositories designed to be employed in development, testing, distribution, updating and support of all kinds of complex solutions, ranging from embedded and mobile devices to enterprise servers and data-centers. The Seventh Platform is created by the ALT Linux Team as a part of the Sisyphus project and maintained by the ALT Linux company.<br />
<br />
== What's new? ==<br />
=== ARMv7 architecture fully supported ===<br />
ARMv7 repository (armh) is now integrated into the Seventh Platform and, thanks to the newest server equipment from Marvell (Marvell Technology Group Ltd), the package versions are now synchronized with the p7 i586/x86_64 repository.<br />
<br />
The armh repository within the Seventh Platform contains approximately 10000 source packages that allow to create integrated server, desktop, mobile and embedded solutions within the unified framework of the Seventh Platform based on the ARMv7 architecture.<br />
<br />
=== New features in the installation utility ===<br />
The installation utility is now upgraded to support [[UEFI]]. Additionally, it now allows to create and install onto the LUKS encrypted partitions.<br />
<br />
=== Support for systemd with continuing support of sysvinit ===<br />
The Seventh Platform supports the new initialization system [[systemd]]. This system is recommended for advanced desktop environments deployed within the p7 framework. sysvinit, a legacy initialization system that has been used in Linux/Unix system over several decades, is still supported for simpler server and GUI solutions.<br />
<br />
=== Support for IPv6 ===<br />
