DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 166
The DistroWatch
Weekly for August 28, 2006 is out. "The essence of this week's
issue is a comment on the status of Linux distributions. Why are there so
many of them? What motivates developers to create new ones? Wouldn't we be
better off if there were only 10 - 20 major projects, instead of hundreds
of one-man distros? We attempt to give some answers. Also in this issue: a
long-term SUSE user explains why Kubuntu meets his needs better, openSUSE's
Andreas Jaeger comments on the reasons behind removal of proprietary kernel
modules from the popular operating system, and Gentoo's Donnie Berkholz
argues that democracy is not always a good thing for the advancements of
the largest source-based distribution. Updates on Fedora Core 6 and
Mandriva Linux 2007, together with links to two resources comparing and
rating several popular distributions conclude the news section."
