The release of 4MLinux 39.0 has been published, a minimalist user distribution that is not a fork of other projects and uses a graphical environment based on JWM. 4MLinux can be used not only as a Live environment for playing multimedia files and solving user tasks but also as a system for recovery after failures and a platform for running LAMP servers (Linux, Apache, MariaDB, and PHP). Two ISO images (1 GB, x86_64) have been prepared for download, featuring a graphical environment and a selection of software for server systems.
