SuSE Linux
SuSE has sent out a press release announcing
that version 9.0 of the SuSE Linux distribution will be available "by
October 24th." This release includes the inevitable new desktop, winmodem
support, user-mode Linux, and a version of the (unreleased) 2.6 kernel
along with a 2.4.21 kernel full of 2.6 backports.
SuSE has also announced the release schedule of SuSE Linux Enterprise
Server would stretch from the current 12 months to an 18 - 24 month cycle.
Vnunet covers the
announcement. "The next major Linux Enterprise Server release
will be in the second or third quarter of 2004 and will support the Linux
2.6 kernel. "[This release] will be a watershed in terms of scalability
and will be easier for independent software vendors developing for both Red
Hat and SuSE," said [SuSE VP David] Burger.
