However, its usability is limited thanks to it being a command-line only distro. This makes it suitable even on machines that can’t boot from USB sticks.įinnix’s tool list is comprehensive, and virtually unrivalled.
To that end the layout of the distro is optimized for CD-ROMs, which doesn’t impede when it’s used from a USB, but will result in faster boots from CDs. One of the goals of the distro is to keep the size of the final release small enough to fit inside a CD. There are several other noteworthy features as well including the use of zram swap compression, and improved remote SSH access. For instance, it now uses GRUB as default bootloader for both BIOS and UEFI systems.
The distro has had a complete overhaul and now has a new build system based around Debian Testing.įinnix is also a native 64-bit distro now and features several enhancements that make it more usable on modern machines.
In fact, the project recently celebrated its 20 year anniversary with a new release. On my desktop machine, which has a static IP, I manually blew a hole through the ports that Teamviewer likes to use and as a result it will only work with that device on my network, but that certainly made the issue a negative.The Finnix distro has been around since the early 2000s and though the project had been languishing for quite a few years, it’s developer has now actively started working on it with regular releases. I installed that same package on my laptop which is running KDE, which had the same problem and rebooted TV and it got a connection, however this may not work for you. The solution to this is either to manually punch a hole for your computer through the ports on your router or firewall, or, there is another solution floating around which involves installing a package called libnss-resolver. If you look down to the bottom left of that image, sending information isn't going to work because there is no connection to the server. This results in the client not allowing input in any field which would end up sending information to their servers. The error comes because for some reason, which I cannot understand, on some builds of linux, Teamviewer doesn't get through your router, firewall or some other blocking device.
