DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 294
[Posted March 17, 2009 by ris]
The
DistroWatch
Weekly for March 16, 2009 is out. "
This week we follow up on our
introduction to Logical Volume Management with a walk-through guide on
using it with some of the most popular Linux distributions. In the news
section, Slackware presents a massive first update of its 'current' tree
since version 12.2 was released three months ago, Ubuntu packages Plymouth,
the kernel-based mode-setting splash program for 'Karmic Koala', openSUSE
battles to restore its main download server after a hardware fault, Tiny
Core presents a new version of its revolutionary 10 MB desktop distro, and
Debian delivers the first glimpses of 'Squeeze', the distribution's next
stable release. The issue also focuses on the ext4 file system after
reports of possible data loss - is it safe to use it? Finally, two links to
interviews with Debian and Ubuntu developers, as well as TuxRadar's
nostalgic look at the best desktop environments of 2000."
