Easy Beaver 0.9.2 was released in May 2018:

Mostly, I have focused on the "Pyro" series of EasyOS, built with packages compiled entirely from source, using my fork of OpenEmbedded. However, also created some builds using Ubuntu DEBs -- there were some releases based on Ubuntu Xenial Xerus DEBs, and one using Bionic Beaver DEBS (0.9.2).

Have now built EasyOS x86_64 with Bionic Beaver 18.04.1 DEBs, codenamed "Easy Beaver", version 0.9.3. Download from here:

Built with latest woofQ, so from that respect on a par with the Pyro series. Building with Ubuntu DEBs does result in a considerably bigger download file, however, weigh that against compatibility with the Ubuntu DEB respositories.
The kernel is 4.18.8, patched with aufs.

The download is an image that you can write to a USB stick, as described here:
