John von Neumann

The "von Neumann" release is the first mainstream, supported release of SprezzOS. It was released 2013-01-13, after being initially scheduled for release 2012-12-28.

Download the current SprezzOS 1-series ISO (1.1.1) here.

The next epoch of SprezzOS development will yield SprezzOS 2, "Kolmogorov".

...and of course there's a release video, "Orcas on Segways".

Release Notes

  • As of SprezzOS 1's release, there are 5525 packages in the SprezzOS repositories.
  • 108 filed bugs were resolved in this development cycle.
  • The 1.0.1 ISO has one known issue, with a known workaround.
    • Upon the failure midway through late-stage package install, go to a utility terminal and run:
      chroot /target dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libudev1*.deb
      . Rerun the package install; it will succeed this time.
      • The utility terminal can be used to verify via /var/log/syslog that failure to install libudev1 resulted in failure to upgrade dmsetup and udev.
    • A second problem was solved via action in the Sprezzatech repositories, and was not easily worked around locally.
      • The utility terminal could be used to verify via /var/log/syslog that there is no available ZFS package
