DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 268
The DistroWatch
Weekly for September 1, 2008 is out. "The world of Linux
distribution has traditionally associated the arrival of September with the
start of a grand testing period as all major projects are about to finalise
their feature lists, freeze their development trees and begin fixing any
remaining bugs. So what can we expect when the final products eventually
hit the download mirrors? We'll take a look at the feature lists of all
major distributions to see what's coming up in the next few months. In the
news section, Debian announces the code name of its post-Lenny release,
Novell launches SUSE Studio - a web-based tool for building custom
distributions, and Linpus Technologies releases an installable Linpus Lite
live CD for netbooks. Also among the interesting web links, a user reports
how Xubuntu has managed to turn an OLPC into a perfect travelling
companion, while the developers of FreeNAS tell us why their FreeBSD-based
distribution is an excellent way of storing important files on a remote
machine."
