Problems Jaunty and ATI drivers
The next version of Ubuntu, Jaunty Jackalope (9.04) has a problem with drivers for most ATI cards. The problem seems to lie in the compatibility with the new version of XServer, version 1.6, with the driver current owner.
So far it has given priority wishlist so you do not think that since Ubuntu is going to give short-term solution. According to the developers of Ubuntu is ATI which is responsible for updating the driver and now propose using the free driver even though no hardware acceleration available.

Qt 4.5
In the beginning (1994) was Trolltech and graphics libraries and expanded the possibilities of free Unix GNU / Linux. Nokia has announced the availability of open source QT 4.5 (apart paradox is to promote open source SymbianOS to compete in the always open and always open Linux KDE complainant of the QT, nothing prevents it by the way). The novelty is that the name is converted to QtDesigner Qt Creator IDE into a very modern 1.0 SDK that supports WebKit, Flash, JScript engine and launches a new framework for improving Cocoa development on Mac OS X. Interoperability and integration with KDevelop will be news from my user experience in a few weeks.

Russia could have an operating system "national" to compete with Windows
This is the headline I see www.20minutos.es. Apparently Russian President Vladimir Putin wants the government of his country lost independence on issues like security and software. Russia pretent to create a proprietary operating system that meets national needs. Also from the telecommunications ministry is making an effort to ensure all Russian schools use free software in 2009. Without doubt a great challenge. Microsoft seem difficult times in Russia.

Syllable Desktop
If it were just a new operating system jumps to the fore.
Syllable is, although in Alpha phase is suitable for testing on a desktop.
Syllable is a project whose goal is to produce an operating system, lightweight, stable and easy to use. At the time they develop two families: Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server.
Syllable Desktop is a free and open OS, according to the terms of GNU.
