DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 291
The DistroWatch
Weekly for February 23, 2009 is out. "This week we re-visit the
minimal distribution install, this time with openSUSE 11.1. In the news
this past week, Mark Shuttleworth announces details of the 9.10 Ubuntu
release, openSUSE board members post a joint statement about the project's
future in light of Novell layoffs, Red Hat signs an interoperability
agreement with Microsoft, Debian project announces the appointment of a new
Secretary, and NetBSD launches a desktop initiative that should bring more
users to the popular cross-platform operating system. Also in the news, we
introduce VirtualBSD, a FreeBSD-based desktop environment for VMware and
provide a link to an animated video interview about FreeNAS, a BSD system
for building network-attached storage devices. Finally, if you are an
accomplished distro tester, but worry that you'll run out of new
distributions to try, fear not - last week no fewer than eight new Linux
distributions were submitted to DistroWatch. These include some really
exotic fares, such as moonOS from Cambodia or Kongoni from South
Africa. Happy distro hopping!"
