DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 256
The DistroWatch
Weekly for June 9, 2008 is out. "Ever since the launch of ASUS
Linux Eee PC late last year, the ultra-portable computer market has turned
into a major battleground of operating systems. Who will win? Microsoft
with its thick wallet and pressure tactics or Linux with its low cost and
open development model? Last week's Computex in Taipei revealed surprising
differences between the ways hardware manufacturers embrace this exciting
market. In the news section, Debian announces upcoming freeze of "Lenny",
Mandriva celebrates its 10-year birthday, Canonical releases Ubuntu Netbook
Remix, and FreeBSD updates the End-of-Life dates for its current and past
releases. Also in this week's issue, a good collection of search resources
for CentOS and RHEL users, and a list of valuable third-party repositories
for openSUSE 11.0. Finally, with the annual package database update on
DistroWatch, do let us know which new packages you want us to include in
the tracking process."
