DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 259
The DistroWatch
Weekly for June 30, 2008 is out. "You've seen it too - a recent
Linux convert, used to clicking on executable files to install software, is
often shocked to discover that Linux distributions use dedicated package
managers to install and remove applications. But with a large number of
distributions and philosophies, which is the best tool on the market? And
how do they differ in terms of usability and convenience? If you are a new
Linux user then our article explaining the various package management
options is a must-read. In the news section, openSUSE developers defend
their inclusion of KDE 4 into the recently released openSUSE 11.0, Mandriva
cancels the first alpha release of version 2009 due to problems with X.Org,
Debian completes the security infrastructure for the upcoming release of
Debian "Lenny", and Ubuntu unveils the first developers' build of the new
MID edition for mobile Internet devices. Also in this issue: a link to an
interview with Zenwalk's Jean-Philippe Guillemin, a review of the upcoming
Acer Aspire One and a round-up of rescue live CDs based on Linux."
