Finnix is a small, self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution for
system administrators, based on Debian testing. March 4 marks the
release of version 91.1 for the x86/AMD64, PowerPC, and UML/Xen
platforms.

Finnix 91.1 is a bugfix and maintenance release. Memtest86+ has been
upgraded to 2.01, software RAID autodetection has been fixed, and
finnix-thumbdrive has been fixed with udev support and support for
drives over 1GB.

Finnix 91.1 also incudes an updated 2.6.24 kernel with the Linux
vmsplice exploit fixed. If you use Finnix in any environment where
untrusted users are allowed local access, please do not use Finnix
88.0 - 91.0, as these versions contain vulnerable kernels.
