DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 234

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."
