Kuki Linux is a custom Linux distribution designed for Intel Atom powered netbooks. It’s based on Ubuntu, and optimized to work with Acer Aspire One netbooks.
Like many netbook-specific Linux distros, Kuki is maintained by just a few people — in this case, just two. And due to personal issues (health and unemployment related), neither has much time to maintain the OS at the moment. That means the project is currently on hold.
You can still download and install Kuki from the project web site, or participate in the user forum. But it sounds like we shouldn’t expect any major updates for a while.
This press release from the developers
Dear users.
I am very sad to announce a kuki linux halt in development for the time being.
The reasons for this are most unfortunate.
The two developers of kuki (myself and vw72) are currently facing serious “real-life” issues.
vw72 has recently faced a serious health problem and will not be developing kuki or even coming online for an unknown period of time. Let’s all hope he gets better fast!
And i am currently moving home for the 4th time in one year, unemployed and changing country for the third time in a 4 month time period. And also am facing a somewhat complicated stomach infection that needs a calm recovery because it’s derived from extreme stress.
The website / forums and all the rest will be up, maintained and all kuki’s kernel and distribution releases will also be kept for all of our user community.
We will be poping in now and then to check how things are going and you also can count on our other team members to help you out if needed. keep posting on the forums for any doubts that you have and surely answers will be given promptly by any of the moderators or even community members.
Let me also ask you all to avoid emailing vw72 as he needs time away from computer and reading through many emails and answering back would make this hard to obtain.
Any question or post relating to these news can be created on the forums.
Thank you all!
