General Development The T2 Project released the final release for the 2.1 series. T2 is a system development environment that allows the automated build for all sorts of architectures including utilization of alternative C libraries such as DietlibC or uClibC for really tiny embedded systems - including support for cross compiling, ccache and distcc. Normal deskop and servers builds are supported as well. The future aganda includes expanding to allow builds for non-Linux kernels such as BSD, Darwin and Solaris.

While it might be a good idea, the AMD64 cd doesn't boot on my MSI RS480-M2 so no deal.

To tell the truth, I never seen any more silly project name. T2, WTF?

What's silly about T2? I believe it stands for 'Try 2', since this distro was a fork of Rock Linux, I suppose this was meant to suggest this distro will improve upon whatever it was they didn't like about Rock in the first place.

I also seem to remember it was meant to be a temporary name, but like most temporary measures it seems to stick... In any case, I don't mind it at all.

PS. I don't speak for developers and I could be completely wrong. Heck, I don't even use T2...

This looks like an interesting project to me, though I'm not a geek and don't even plan to use it. However, I was interested in reading the comments and see what it's about, how good it's working, etc..., but unfortunately the there are no interesting comments, just stupid ones (mine included, obviously). Too bad...

Seems pretty interesting here too. Release 2.1 didn't worked for me, so i used the latest pre-2.2. I'm building the livecd target on amd64, fine until now. It has been building for 24 hours now and i think there may be 24 more. I can't help but think this can bring some improvements to the build system of distributions (linux, bsd, whatever), in terms of modularity and standardization. Besides i always wanted to build a custom livecd for my own needs so... congrats to the t2 team and looking forward to this project.
