Finnix 251 is the first release to distribute official OCI container images. The official Finnix container contains all the same software as the ISO release, and may be launched from Podman, Docker, Kubernetes, etc. This is particularly useful for Kubernetes users, giving you a quick utility shell in the namespace of your choice. The finnix/finnix:latest container currently includes architecture support for amd64, arm64 and riscv64. Otherwise, Finnix 251 is a regular semiannual utility release: Linux kernel 6.16 (Debian 6.16.12); added package - dc3dd; upstream Debian package updates; many minor fixes and improvements. Finnix is a Linux-based utility live distribution. Write it to a USB flash drive or burn it to a CD, boot it, and you're seconds from a root prompt with hundreds of utilities available for recovery, maintenance, testing and more.
