The DistroWatch
Weekly for December 22, 2008 is out. "This week we take a first

distribution. In the news, the release of openSUSE 11.1 heralds the
adoption of a freer license, Debian calls a vote on whether or not to
include firmware in the upcoming Lenny release while Debian secretary quits
over backlash from firmware vote, Gentoo begins releasing weekly snapshots
of stage tarballs, the Asianux Consortium incorporates its fifth member and
expands into Thailand, Mandriva sets up a Community Steering Committee and
increases their number of channel partners, a new distro, Hackable: 1, aims
to create a GNOME-based software stack for hackable devices while the
Openmoko project releases an update to their software stack. Finally,
included in their respective new sections are two interviews - one with Joe
"Zonker" Brockmeier of openSUSE and the other with Johannes (Hanno)
Böck of Gentoo Linux. Happy reading!"
