After too many years of relative silence we have decided to officially put Pellix live-cd (Tartuga, Tartuga-dsl, embedded Pellix /Tartuga) into maintenance-only mode. No new distributions will be released for the forseeable future.
If you are looking for recent active Pellix / Tartuga distributions, please check out DOWNLOADS , for all distributions DISTRIB and for other Debian live-cd distributions, please check out live.debian.net. If you are looking for Linux live-cds in general, you'll probably want to check out Knoppix first.
We will continue to improve the underlying Pellix / Tartuga tools for building Linux live-cds, however we won't release general end-user distributions ourselves. The following are still available for anyone who is interested:
So, what went wrong? We are afraid that our project has suffered under the lack of focus that was inherent in the project's goals. Without one strong distribution and a lack of enough dedicated time the project simply couldn't reach those goals with a quality that people were expecting from a modern Linux distribution.
We will thank everyone that has helped the project over the last 15 years, most of all the #pellix_tartuga group that has been instrumental in bringing Pellix- and Tartuga OS as far as it has come and the derivatives that have come and gone over the years.
Thanks, Dino (alias "Pellix") and his team
