Oct 01
October’s here, and it brings some new good stuff for the Linux world.
October arrived this year, the way it usually does, except that this time is full of good news and anticipation for Linux geeks. Three mayor distros will release new versions in the next 30 days (OpenSUSE, Mandriva and Ubuntu).
Ubuntu will release version 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, good news for the world wide fanbase of millions the distro has managed to gain in the last few years. Anticipation is bound to grow now that Ubuntu is being offered by Dell with their systems.
Just a few days away is the new 10.3 by OpenSUSE, one of the oldest and versatile distros –and recently, one of the more controversial ones, since the MS deal– is sure to get a fair share of attention over the next few weeks.
And there’s also the new Mandriva. This is the one I know the least, but is a big one so it merits mention.
Other distros which will get things moving these month will be: Musix, Parsix, Kiwi, Fluxbuntu and Yoper, among others.
October will have something to offer for every possible kind of user from those who want a black box ready for mail checks to the more demanding webmaster. This will be a busy month so, get your VMs ready!
