Since he’s made deception a habit this month, Mayank Sharma now claims that he’s built his distribution from scratch.
We’re big fans of NuTyX here at LXF Towers. The last version of the minimalist distro we reviewed (LXf225) scored highly for its bloat-free design and its Cards package management system, which made light work of transforming the vanilla installation into a full-blown desktop. What impressed us most is that unlike other build-your-own distros, NuTyX was far more approachable.
In the couple of releases since that time, NuTyx has added a bunch of features to further lower the entry threshold. Two major changes in this regard are the availability of a Live mode on the ISOs and the graphical front-end to the cards package manager.
NuTyx 10.5 now has several ISOs for both 32- and 64-bit machines ranging from 315MB to 1.29GB. The smaller ISO will help anchor a barebones CLI install that you can flesh out on your own, while the chunkier ISOs gets you a full-fledged Mate or Openbox sporting desktop. The NuTyX ISO images subscribe to one of the two program branches. The Fixed branch is the stable version that will only receive security updates for the included packages. If you prefer fresher versions of tools, make sure you grab the ISO for the Rolling branch.
