The Finnix distribution is a small, self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution for system administrators, based on Debian. The project celebrates its 22nd anniversary this month with the release of Finnix 124. "Finnix 124 includes a number of fixes, new packages and new features: wifi-connect helper utility will now display nearby access points if invoked without any command line options. ip= kernel command line network configuration now supports netmasks in addition to prefix lengths. Added a pure Python strings implementation. Explanation from the commit: I had avoided including strings because, while its incredibly useful, its the only desirable utility in the binutils package, which otherwise includes a bunch of compilation-related utilities, and the package itself is quite large. So in the words of the “my mechanics” YouTube channel, I make a new one! Its not a 100% complete reimplementation of GNU binutils strings, but is fine for casual binary checking. This is also set up so that if you do apt install binutils in the live environment, its strings will take precedence over the Python version. RISC-V (riscv64) unofficial build support added, in addition to amd64, i386, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x.
