DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 167
[Posted September 5, 2006 by ris]
The
DistroWatch
Weekly for September 4, 2006 is out. "
Following a new release of
Gentoo Linux last week, another popular "geek" project is likely to
announce a major new version this week. Slackware Linux, the world's oldest
surviving Linux distribution, has been through no fewer than four release
candidates, so the final version can't be far away. Also expected later
this week - GNOME 2.16. In other news, Linspire scraps the annual fee for
its software repository, Ubuntu contributors keep enhancing their favourite
distribution with extra software, services and even a new start-up script,
and the NetBSD world is rocked by accusations of mismanagement by one of
the project's founders. We also have the pleasure to announce that
DistroWatch has once again been voted one of the "Top 101" web sites by PC
Magazine and that the August 2006 donation of US$350 goes to the Puppy
Linux project."
