DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 272

The DistroWatch Weekly for September 29, 2008 is out. "A second attempt at creating a comprehensive package management cheatsheet is the main topic of this week's edition of DistroWatch Weekly. While still far from perfect, the table lists more package management tasks and utilities than the first version, but as always, corrections and suggestions are always welcome. In the news section, Linux distributions warn over a hardware damaging kernel bug, Debian publishes a list of supported languages in "Lenny", Fedora announces a further delay of its upcoming version 10, and Linux Mint unveils its first-ever 64-bit edition. Also, plenty of Gentoo-related news, including an upcoming distribution build tool called "Metro" and an alternative package management utility named "Paludis". Finally, check out Klikit-Linux, a community project based on Kubuntu, which was added to the DistroWatch database last week."
