DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 254
[Posted May 27, 2008 by ris]
The
DistroWatch
Weekly for May 26, 2008 is out. "
An interesting week that
brought two big enterprise Linux updates (SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP2 and
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2, both released on the same day) and a number
of smaller distribution releases, of which Absolute Linux 12.1, Ultimate
Linux 1.8 and TinyMe 2008.0 seem the most impressive. But the big focus of
the coming weeks is undoubtedly openSUSE 11.0 - the most innovative Linux
distribution release for some time. Do help with testing, though, if you
can. In the news section, Paul Frields and Mark Shuttleworth talk to
various publications about their respective distributions, CentOS explains
why it takes three weeks to build a new version of its distribution,
Xubuntu plans to add some of the much-requested features into Intrepid
Ibex, and Famelix GNU/Linux receives undue attention from Microsoft's
anti-piracy body. Also not to be missed: our first look at OpenSolaris
2008.05 and an update on Zenwalk's package management utility,
Netpkg."
