KDE 4.4 aims
to take free desktop skyward
"The
final release of KDE 4.4 is due in early 2010, and not since the
arrival of KDE 4.0 two years ago has an open source desktop environment
been so highly anticipated by the free desktop community. Unlike the
anti-climax that was the first KDE 4 release, however, KDE 4.4's
developers say this new version will actually deliver on many of the
original promises of this next-generation desktop environment -- and
then some."

The Problem
With The Linux Community
"I wrote a less
than stellar review of openSUSE 11.2 this week for DistroWatch. Why?
Well.. because this particular release really has issues: the installer
choosing the wrong driver causing it to hang, serious instability in
KDE on my two month old netbook in a release that touted itself for
netbooks, and numerous smaller issues. It's a shame because, in
general, I've always liked openSUSE. It was never my true favorite, but
that was because of some personal preferences, not because of faults in
the distro."

What’s GNU in
Virtualization
"Taking a new
operating system for a spin is easier than ever before with
virtualization software but when that software is free, it’s even
better. There are virtualization choices for all tastes listed here.
For those of you who prefer hypervisor-based virtualization, I urge you
to try Xen or Proxmox."

Packages
and Upgrades
The development
work is just about building packages and nothing else. For now no
upgrades will be made in our repository, but anyone can continue
upgrading Slackware packages. Just after I rebuilt every package and
some more I will start to recreate our main repository under the name
of our next project. During this time it is important upgrade some
packages from Slackware because of the security issues.
