DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 234
[Posted January 8, 2008 by ris]
The
DistroWatch
Weekly for January 7, 2008 is out. "
Yes, this is the first full
week of 2008, which means that in just a few days the long-awaited KDE 4.0
should be out and ready. Although the initial release might not be as
stable and functional as the current KDE 3.5 series, it will lay down
foundations for a truly modern desktop environment that could power many
computers into the next decade. But how many of us will be using it by the
end of 2008? Only time will tell. In the news section, Red Hat appoints a
new Chief Executive Officer, Canonical drops long-term support goal in
Kubuntu 8.04, PCLinuxOS announces new low-cost desktop computer and start
of a 2008 release cycle, and Linux Mint and Elive promise new editions of
their respective products. Finally, don't miss the feature story of this
week's issue - a report about your DistroWatch maintainer's visit to the
Mandriva headquarters and a brief meeting with Gaël Duval, the founder
of Mandrake Linux."
