DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 267
The DistroWatch
Weekly for August 25, 2008 is out. "Not all user-friendly
desktop operating systems are based on Linux; as demonstrated by PC-BSD, it
is entirely feasible to turn a "geek" project into a piece of software that
can be installed and used by even less technical computer users. In this
issue, we talk to Kris Moore, PC-BSD lead developer, about his love affair
with FreeBSD and the upcoming PC-BSD 7.0. In the news section, Fedora
admits that some of its servers have been compromised, Novell signs a new,
US$100 million "interoperability" deal with Microsoft, openSUSE ads SELinux
support as an alternative security framework, and gNewSense celebrates its
second birthday with an updated release of the "freest" Linux
distribution. Finally, FreeBSD announces tentative release dates for its
upcoming versions 6.4 and 7.1."
