DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 273
The DistroWatch
Weekly for October 6, 2008 is out. "After two weeks or refining
the package management cheatsheet, DistroWatch takes a break from this
project to update its rapidly ageing Major Distributions page. Linux Mint,
which has become the third most-often used Linux-based operating system
among the visitors of this web site gets a well-deserved place among the
elite, while CentOS, an increasingly popular community distribution among
users preferring stability and reliability over bleeding-edge features also
enters the exclusive list for the first time. Read on for brief overviews
of the two projects. In the news, Barry Kauler resigns from the position of
a benevolent dictator at Puppy Linux, OpenSolaris 2008.11 gets a range of
excellent new features, and DistroWatch is showcased on Voice of America's
Website of the Week. Also in this week's issue, two new distributions for
those users who like to preserve their privacy while surfing the Internet:
the Gentoo-based Incognito and the Debian-based Privatix. Finally, we are
pleased to announce that the recipient of the DistroWatch September 2008
donation is Miro, an Internet video player."
