Frugalware Linux是一份独立开发的通用桌面Linux发行，它面向中级用户。它遵循了Slackware风格的简洁设计理念，并且包括了来自Arch Linux的pacman包管理实用工具。

Miklós Vajna has announced the availability of the second pre-release of Frugalware Linux 1.2, a general-purpose distribution for intermediate Linux users: "The Frugalware developer team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Frugalware 1.2pre2, the second technical preview of the upcoming 1.2 stable release. A short and incomplete list of changes since 1.2pre1: introduced devtmpfs - you can now exclude /dev from backups, along with /proc and /sys; removed several large games from the install images (CD/DVD) which means one fewer DVD or four fewer CDs; package updates - Linux kernel 2.6.32 + fixes, GNU C Library 2.11, Mozilla Firefox 3.5.7 and Thunderbird 3.0; more than 800 other package updates and more than 100 new packages." See the brief release announcement for more information. Download (SHA1): frugalware-1.2pre1-i686-dvd1.iso (4,275MB, torrent).
