DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 253
[Posted May 21, 2008 by ris]
The
DistroWatch
Weekly for May 19, 2008 is out. "
Fedora 9 came out last week as
expected, but the many experimental features and software packages in the
distribution seem to detract some would-be users from upgrading their
distribution. Do you enjoy testing the latest and greatest the Linux
development world has to offer? Then Fedora 9 is for you. Otherwise look
elsewhere. In the news section, Ubuntu's Mark Shuttleworth calls on greater
release synchronisation between the major Linux vendors, Debian struggles
to come to terms with a massive OpenSSL vulnerability, ComputerWold
Australia interviews Ian Murdock, the Sun Microsystems' vice president in
charge of OpenSolaris, and Gentoo succeeds in reinstating Gentoo Foundation
in New Mexico. Also in this issue, an explanation why DistroWatch does not
focus more on GPL violations and other legal topics, and an opinion piece
on the subject of growing mistrust of users towards Canonical and
Ubuntu."
