The T2 SDE (System Development Environment) is an open source Linux distribution kit. It is primarily developed by René Rebe.[1][2]

History

[edit]

ROCK Linux was started in the summer of 1996 by Claire Wolf.[3] T2 SDE was forked in 2004, when developers were dissatisfied with the project.[4] ROCK Linux was discontinued in 2010.[5]

In August 2006, version 6.0 was released with ISO images for AMD64, i386, PPC64 and SPARC64.[6] In July 2010, version 8.0 (codenamed "Phoenix") was released.[7] In April 2021, version 21.4 was released.[8] In July 2022, version 22.6 was released.[9] In April 2024, version 24.5 was released. In June 2024, version 24.6 was released shipping Wine for Windows application compatibility as well as LibreOffice and Thunderbird for a complete Linux Desktop experience. In July 2024, version 24.8 was released shipping OpenJDK for Java™ compatibility as well as a multi-architectural MIPS64 Linux kernel built for Sgi IP27, IP30, IP32(r5k & r10k) as the first Linux OS release to boot on multiple Sgi RISC workstations and servers.

Usage

[edit]

Puppy Linux has used T2 SDE for compiling their packages.[10] AskoziaPBX has used a fork of T2 SDE because it had support for Blackfin.[11] Archivista made a document management system based on T2 SDE.[12]

Hardware support

[edit]

T2 SDE supports the x86-64, x86, arm64, arm, RISC-V (32 and 64 bit), ppc64le, ppc64-32, sparc64, MIPS64, mipsel, hppa, m68k, alpha, and ia64 architectures.[8] The PowerPC platform is well supported. There are ISO images available, or users can build it themselves.[13]

T2 SDE has been shown to run on the Nintendo Wii.[14] It also supports the SGI Octane[15] and the PlayStation 3.[16]
