DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 214
[Posted August 6, 2007 by ris]
The
DistroWatch
Weekly for August 6, 2007 is out. "
The late Sunday release of
Arch Linux 2007.08 provided some excitement on the otherwise quiet
distribution release week, during which both Fedora and Mandriva failed to
deliver the promised first development builds of their upcoming
products. But on the distro news front, things were a lot more exciting:
MEPIS has announced that it will switch to a Debian base before its next
stable release, Ubuntu has published a detailed analysis of Automatix,
Kevin Carmony has announced resignation from Linspire, a Swedish
manufacturer has unveiled the world's cheapest laptop (running Fedora), and
Ian Murdock has given some hints about Sun Microsystems Project Indiana in
an interview. We also take a quick look at the current status of KNOPPIX
and Gentoo and publish some interesting statistical data about the
DistroWatch readership in Latin America and the Caribbean. Finally, we are
pleased to announce that the recipient of the July 2007 DistroWatch
donation is the FreeNAS project."
