-BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
-small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities
-you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils, grep, gzip,
-tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or
-embedded system. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
-their full featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide
-the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts.
-<p>
-BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind.
-It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or
-features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded
-systems. To create a working system, just add /dev, /etc, and a kernel.

- <li> <b>3 January 2002 -- Welcome to busybox.net!</b>
- <p>
-
- Thanks to the generosity of a number of busybox users, we have been
- able to purchase busybox.net (which is where you are probably
- reading this). Right now, busybox.net and uclibc.org are both
- living on my home system (at the end of my DSL line). I
- apologize for the abrupt move off of busybox.lineo.com.
- Unfortunately, I no longer have the access needed to keep that
- system updated (for example, you might notice the daily snapshots
- there stopped some time ago).
-
- <p>
-
- Busybox.net is currently hosted on my home server, at the end of a
- DSL line. Unfortunately, the load on them is quite heavy. To address
- this, I'm trying to make arrangements to get busybox.net co-located
- directly at an ISP. To assist in the co-location effort, <a
- href="http://www.codepoet.org/~markw">Mark Whitley</a> (author of
- busybox sed, cut, and grep) has donated his <a
- href="http://www.netwinder.org/">NetWinder</a> computer for hosting
- busybox.net and uclibc.org. Once this system is co-located, the
- current speed problems should be completely eliminated. Hopefully,
- too, some of you will volunteer to set up some mirror sites, to help
- to distribute the load a bit.

-
- Since some people expressed concern over BusyBox donations, let me
- assure you that no one is getting rich here. All BusyBox and
- uClibc donations will be spent paying for bandwidth and needed
- hardware upgrades. For example, Mark's NetWinder currently has
- just 64Meg of memory. As demonstrated when google spidered the site
- the other day, 64 Megs in not enough, so I'm going to be ordering
- 256Megs of ram and a larger hard drive for the box today. So far,
- donations received have been sufficient to cover almost all
- expenses. In the future, we may have co-location fees to worry
- about, but for now we are ok.
- A <b>HUGE thank-you</b> goes out to everyone that has
- contributed!

- <li> <b>20 November 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.2 released</b>
- <p>
-
- We am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox 0.60.2 (stable) is now
- released to the world. This one is primarily a bugfix release for the
- stable series, and it should take care of most everyone's needs
- till we can get the nice new stuff we have been working on in CVS ready to
- release (with the wonderful new buildsystem). The biggest change in this
- release (beyond bugfixes) is the fact that msh (the minix shell) has been
- re-worked by Vladimir N. Oleynik (vodz) and so it no longer crashes when
- told to do complex things with backticks.
- <p>
-
- This release has been tested on x86, ARM, and powerpc using glibc 2.2.4,
- libc5, and uClibc, so it should work with just about any Linux system you throw it at.
- See the <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/Changelog">changelog</a>
- for <small>most of</small> the details. The last release was
- <em>very</em> solid for people, and this one should be even better.
- <p>
- As usual BusyBox 0.60.2 can be downloaded from
- <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads">http://www.busybox.net/downloads</a>.
