Puppy Linux的姊妹项目，Quirky 6.1 发布

Quirky是Puppy Linux的姊妹项目，是用一份叫Woof的定制工具创建的Linux发行。其下层的基础构造，例如启动和关机脚本、配制工具、硬件检测、桌面管理、用户 界面、加速及一般化的易用性管理等，对所有用Woof创建的发行而言都是共同的，但是，一次专门的创建将会拥有一套不同的软件包选取及进一步的定制（甚至 是完全不同的二进制软件包）。Quirky由Puppy Linux和Woof的创始人开发，以挑战极限，在下层基础构造上尝试一些新颖的想法——而它们当中有些可能是激进的或奇异的，正如Quirky这个名字 所意味。

Bonne Nouvelle Année 2014 ! The first release announcement of the new year has been published by Barry Kauler who presents the new Quirky 6.1. Quirky is a minimalist distribution (and a fork of Puppy Linux) that attempts to explore new avenues and implement unusual ideas. From the release announcement: " Quirky 6.0 started the ball rolling with the feature set proposed for the 6.x series, now 6.1 adds the comprehensive upgrade, downgrade, rollback and recovery mechanisms. In essence, these are in three sections: rigorous handling of package uninstallation, such that the system can never be broken; system snapshots, with history, allowing recovery to any earlier state; simple version upgrade, with service packs." Compared to Quirky 6.0 the package set remains the same except the Linux kernel which has been upgraded to version 3.12.6. Here are the release notes which explain the new features in some details and provide installation and upgrade instructions. Download link: quirky-6.1-8gb.img.xz (109MB, SHA1).
