Booting Grml via iPXE
Jimmy blogged about booting Grml via iPXE, since we’ve fixed the memdisk feature recently and netboot.xyz also includes support for Grml. :)
Is Grml still alive?
Grml’s latest stable release as of today still is 2014.11 and folks are poking us about the current state of Grml and upcoming stable releases. Thanks to our daily ISOs available at daily.grml.org more up2date versions are available, though we understand and agree that a new stable release is overdue.
Sadly since quite some time we’re stuck with a release stopper, being a regression in udev which is visible only if you do not use systemd. Grml is using file-rc as its init system and while the migration to systemd was on our agenda no one took care of this so far. Support for systemd is work in progress though now. We hope to have a new stable release of Grml available in Q1 of 2016!
tl;dr: Grml is still alive :)

Ten years of Grml
This year we’re celebrating 10 years of Grml. I wrote some words about those ten years of Grml in my personal blog.
The Grml team wishes you Merry Christmas to the ones of you who celebrate it and a Happy New Year! We hope to see you in 2015!

grml-zshrc: new prompt feature
Grml developer Frank ‘ft’ Terbeck did great work for grml-zshrc to get better customization options for the zsh prompt. We just uploaded grml-etc-core v0.8.0 to our grml-testing repository and want to mention three blog articles by Frank regarding this new prompt feature:
The new grml-etc-core release also provides a rewrite of the way keybindings work. Please consult /usr/share/doc/grml-etc-core/NEWS.Debian.gz for further details regarding the new prompt and keyboard handling. If you notice any problems please report a bug or just show up in #grml on freenode and talk to us.
