The DistroWatch
Weekly for October 9, 2006. "With the release of Mandriva Linux
2007 last week it would seem that the once highly popular desktop Linux
distribution has finally closed a shaky chapter behind itself and decided
to return to what it does best - proudly produce a great desktop Linux
system for the world. This issue of DistroWatch Weekly focuses on Mandriva
Linux, its recent past and new products. But Mandriva 2007 wasn't the only
major distribution release last week; the fans of Slackware Linux also had
a reason to celebrate as version 11.0 of the world's oldest surviving Linux
distribution finally hit the download mirrors, promptly followed by a
number of Slackware derivatives for all kinds of purposes and processor
architectures. Also in this issue: we'll take a quick look at the new
VectorLinux 5.8, summarise the week in the troubled world of Debian
GNU/Linux, and point our readers to a good comparison between openSUSE and
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop."
