DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 237
[Posted January 29, 2008 by ris]
The
DistroWatch
Weekly for January 28, 2008 is out. "
Mobile workers no longer
have to carry bulky laptops in order to do their work; with the emergence
of free software and live operating systems, a bootable USB Flash drive
with Linux is often all that's needed to complete one's task while on the
road. In this week's issue we'll take a quick look at Mandriva Flash 2008,
a useful "pocket" OS with thousands of applications and several gigabytes
of free space for storing your data. In the news section, Gentoo Linux
works hard to improve the interaction between the developers and its users,
Debian embarks on a major switch to GCC 4.3 as the default compiler, Fedora
announces more changes to the project leadership prior to the upcoming
release of Fedora 9, and ISP-Planet talks to m0n0wall's Manual Kasper about
the importance of small, configurable firewalls. Finally, don't miss the
usual bunch of new Linux distributions submitted to DistroWatch, including
the promising openmamba GNU/Linux."
