DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 280
The DistroWatch
Weekly for December 2, 2008 is out. "This week's DWW feature
story looks at the global economic crisis and its impact on Linux
distributions and businesses. It turns out that the release of Fedora 10
isn't the only good news for Red Hat as a major Wall Street analyst sees a
bright future for the company. Meanwhile Mandriva is struggling financially
and a well-known and well-respected member of the Linux community was axed
by the Paris-based company sparking a truly harsh reaction. Novell took a
step to address community concerns by changing the openSUSE license. In
other news, Phoronix published the results of benchmark tests comparing the
performance of the newly released Fedora 10 with Ubuntu 8.10, a new
distribution called Glendix brings Plan 9 to Linux, a detailed case study
examines Pardus Linux, and the new graphical installer in VectorLinux 6.0
Beta 1 gets a close look. Finally, we get a progress update on FreeBSD 7.1
and some tantalizing hints about the release of Slackware 12.2."
