I must dispute the assertion that Hipster 2017.10 is ready. I have a failing hard drive on my Internet access system running oi151_a8. I have installed a new hard drive, partitioned it with gparted and booted the DVD image. I have been running OI on this box since 148.
1) at the live desktop I cannot run either installer nor can I open a terminal window. All I get is a nice popup "i/o error" dialog. 2) when I try to boot from the DVD in single user mode it demands a user name and password, but does not accept "jack/jack" or "root/root". If you need to come up in single user mode from a DVD this is *really* annoying. There is no security if you have physical control of the machine playing games with the person booting from the DVD is pointless. 3) I can find NO alternative ISOs! 4) The DVD boot menu does not have an install option. WTF? This *used* to be SunOS where things worked properly and you were not forced into using the very latest version if you didn't want it. I fully appreciate that there is only a small group doing most of the work. But this is almost enough to make me give up and just run Windows for my Internet access.
