DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 271
[Posted September 23, 2008 by ris]
The
DistroWatch
Weekly for September 22, 2008 is out. "
The feature story of the
this week's issue is package management or, more precisely, an attempt to
create a command-line package management cheatsheet that would cover just
about any Linux distribution available today. The first quick version is
out today, but we hope to bring you a much improved and more detailed one
after this week's feedback and suggestions. In the news section,
OpenSolaris releases first test images for its upcoming version 2008.11,
Fedora provides a further update on the recent compromise of its servers,
Ubuntu responds to the accusations that it contributes little to the Linux
kernel, and Phoronix runs a performance benchmark on four different Linux
distributions installed on the ASUS Eee PC. Also worth a read, an
interesting interview with a senior OpenSolaris engineer and further
evidence that Gentoo Linux is no longer that innovative and trend-setting
distribution it was just five years ago. Finally, a very happy GNOME 2.24
release week to all the fans of the popular desktop!"
