The developers of the Rolling Rhino Remix assembly have announced the transformation of the project into a separate Rhino Linux distribution. The reason for the creation of a new product was a revision of the goals and development model of the project, which had already outgrown the state of amateur development and began to go beyond the scope of a simple rebuild of Ubuntu. The new distribution will continue to be built on the basis of Ubuntu, but will include additional utilities and be developed by a team of several developers (two more participants have joined the work).
A slightly redesigned version of Xfce will be offered as a desktop. The main package will include the Pacstall package manager, positioned as an analogue of the AUR (Arch User Repository) repository for Ubuntu, allowing third-party developers to distribute their packages without inclusion in the main distribution repositories. The repository, implemented using Pacstall, will distribute Xfce desktop components, the Linux kernel, boot screens, and the Firefox browser. Devel branches of repositories will continue to be used as the basis for creating updates, in which packages with new versions of applications (synchronized with Debian Sid/Unstable) for experimental releases of Ubuntu are built.
