DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 292
[Posted March 2, 2009 by ris]
The
DistroWatch
Weekly for March 2, 2009 is out. "
Last week saw the release of
SimplyMEPIS 8.0, a Debian-based desktop Linux distribution designed for
both personal and business purposes. We take the live CD for a spin to see
what it has to offer. In the news this past week, openSUSE develops
Debian-like distribution upgrade functionality to their package manager,
Red Hat looks set for a comeback to the desktop arena as it announces
virtualisation plans that will centre around KVM technology, and Novell
signs a virtualisation agreement with VMware over support for their
products. Also in the news, the Linux Starter Kit from Linux Format
magazine has been released for free and we link to interviews with lead
developers of Linux Mint and Kongoni. Finally, we are pleased to announce
that the DistroWatch.com February 2009 donation goes to Wolvix GNU/Linux, a
Slackware-based desktop distribution and live CD. Happy reading!"
