Debian Dilemma
- Debian
The distributor Debian has a policy that now seems to place them in a real dilemma: if they agree to adopt certain cacracterísticas own modern times as desired to achieve by any project that seeks to entice users, but in this case the cost is perhaps risking the element that served as a training framework for their own identity: stability. Conversely, if no access to these opportunities and are kept resisting as they have done for years his identity will be secured stable but at the cost of losing a large amount of public and users who may take it as their own. What to do?
Evidently, and according to what has been commenting on the web these days, Debian would be willing to pay the price of the first alternative, since a target server and can not afford professional environments, and would like to access layers broader population. Now, as we said, the price or condition of this is possible is to let the policy attached to the paragon of stability that made each update comes after several years of waiting.
In that sense has been discussed within the areas of Debian the possibility of incorporating all the latest GNU / Linux environment, or even Ubuntu or OpenSUSE, as is the use of PPAs.
We'll see how it is for Debian these experiments and if finally get the desired objective without ignoring the mark that set him apart in the market.
New version of openSUSE Linux
openSUSE
At this stage of the game we all know what it's openSUSE. As well as the name implies, the open is a program with a basic concept that makes it extremely interesting. Working on the democratizing potential of the Internet as device production and dissemination of information, this application seeks to create social ties, trusting in the collective production of meaning. The program offers easy accessibility, all for free.
Well, the news is that you can download a new version of GNU / Linux. Nine months after the previous release, version 11.3 comes from the distribution covered by Novell and AMD, and a large community of users.
Overall, the openSUSE 11.3 features updated versions for more than 1000 applications over its predecessor. These new versions include desktop applications, server applications (WWW, mail, FTP, ...) and a selection of development tools. Read more
OpenSuSE 11.3 Milestone4 finished
The system is preconfigured with the VirtualBox Guest Tools pre-installed so that if your performance is in virtual machine (clipboard sharing and seamless mode available) desktop integration is complete and mouse by 100% from the LiveCD. OpenSUSE is one of the last major distributions change the init SystemV start with the most modern upstart. Include GNOME 2.30 RC (29/02/92), KDE 2.0 RC2 with K3B 4.4.1, OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 Beta1, Samba 3.5.1, Python 2.6.5 RC2, etc. NetworkManager also 0.8-which gives better support Bluetooth and GSM-cellularly cover, cups 1.4.2, LXDE is 0.93 in the full version DVD. Release is expected for OpenSuSE 11.3 Rousseau before 20 July.
openSUSE 11.2-Milestone3
At your disposal of the 3rd alpha (build 0148) of one of the most important developments-by Novell Linux: OSuSE 11.2. Kernel 2.6.30, GCC 4.4 and ext4 by default (it is recommended that a separate / boot on ext3 to boot and the drivers are going well and the rest formatted in ext4), Firefox 3.5 final bit was left out, and the inclusion of KDE 4.3 Beta 2, GNOME 2.27.2, OpenOffice.org 3.1 and VirtualBox 2.2.4. Until November no definitive version of what will be Fichte (German philosopher Kant distribution more than German in origin is a tribute to the great Konrad Zuse ).
Mono 2.4 is throwing themselves and contains more functionality
The. NET incorporates universal in its most complete ASP.NET 3.5, metadata checker for the JIT compiler and the expected inclusion of MonoDevelop 2.0.
Except that does not support Linq what you needed to completely replace VStudio 2008 Orcas Microsoft?
I think Mono is what certifications closer to those developers that are shifted to open this tool and platform-level software architects WinFX, J2EE Java or Objective-C Cocoa "institute" Apple.
Novell certifications.
Mono 3.0 is expected with C # 4 to the end of 2009.
Packages, and live virtual machine OpenSuSE available on some days in Mono-Project.com
OpenSuSE Thin Client
There are also a similar development in PC-BSD , Novell reimplement the concept client / server (Linux Terminal Server Project GNU) to have reduced hardware operating system performance to the NetWare network. Innovation happens that an image is done with KIWI . Other distributions imitate this good initiative.
Opensuse releases every 8 months
After a while unmarked fixed dates for their own versions of Opensuse people decided to follow the trend of Ubuntu or Fedora, with strict deadlines for each new release. Unlike previous distributions, each version of opensuse come out with a difference of 8 months. More toomany.net
