DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 249
The DistroWatch
Weekly for April 21, 2008 is out. "It's that time of the year
when the fans of Ubuntu rejoice over another new release, while those
jealous of the project's growing success on the desktop would rather stay
away from the Internet. But Ubuntu is not the only option; although delayed
by two weeks, Fedora 9 will arrive in a blink of an eye, while openSUSE
11.0, one of the most technologically advanced distribution releases the
Linux world has ever seen, is also making huge strides towards the planned
release date in June. In other news, Red Hat and OpenSolaris take different
views of the alternative desktop, Mark Shuttleworth opens a discussion over
the future of Gobuntu and gNewSense, Mandriva introduces a new urpmi
feature for adding third-party repositories, and sidux announces the
release of sidux-seminarix, a Debian-based distribution for
schools. Finally, don't miss our feature story: a first look at Draco
GNU/Linux, an unusual distribution that combines Slackware's base system
and NetBSD's packages into a powerful desktop Linux solution."
