DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 169
The DistroWatch
Weekly for September 18, 2006 is out. "It's a Mandriva week, no
doubt. With the imminent release of its brand new version 2007, all eyes of
the Linux community are now on the French distribution maker whose new
product is likely to raise the usability and eye candy bar for desktop
Linux distributions significantly. Can Mandriva regain its former glory?
We'll find out soon. In other news: the development of the venerable RPM
Package Manager is in deep trouble, Terra Soft announces Yellow Dog Linux
5.0, NetBSD continues its round of negative publicity, and a trial edition
of Xandros Desktop 4 is now available for free download. In our "Tips and
tricks" section we'll let you on some secrets about extracting package
lists from various distributions, while the "Statistics" feature looks at
the DistroWatch visitor numbers from the Middle East. A couple of site
updates follow before the usual database summary concludes this
issue."
