DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 248
The DistroWatch
Weekly for April 14, 2008 is out. "The release of Mandriva Linux
2008.1 last week started a small avalanche of distro releases that will
keep us busy downloading and installing new distributions for weeks. But
which of them will eventually become the "keeper"? One way to evaluate them
all is to follow the development branches of the major distributions as
they converge towards the point when they are declared stable and ready for
deployment. This is the topic of today's feature story. In the news
section, Debian elects a new project leader, ASUS releases a Software
Development Kit for the Eee PC, gOS and Symphony OS continue to experiment
with unusual user interfaces, and Darkstar Linux announces the availability
of Disk Manager, a new utility for managing hard disk partitions. Also
worth a read - a rare interview with Texstar, the founder of PCLinuxOS, and
another with Jeremy Katz, a well-known Red Hat and Fedora
developer."
