Tracking Linux prereleases: OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, and Fedora
,----[ Quote ]
| We often hear from readers who want to track the development process of their
| favorite Linux distribution but don't know where to start. Budding Linux
| enthusiasts frequently ask how the release cycles work, what the version
| numbers mean, and what options are available for end-user testing prior to
| official releases. The answers to those questions differ depending on the
| distribution, but we are going to attempt to address those questions for
| Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE—three of the most prominent desktop Linux
| distributions. We will also provide a brief visual comparison of upcoming
| versions with screenshots of the prereleases.

| "This is the result of the amazing work of the ubuntu-security and

| Ha, there is something wrong here !

Distros Don’t Drive Development

| Lots of press and people focus on Linux distributions when they check out

Fedora Developer Interview: KDE 4
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 4 is seen by many to be the next big step on the free software desktop,
| while others think releasing 4.0 in its current condition was misleading and
| a mistake. Either way, it's an innovative release and inline with Fedora's
| goal of providing the latest and greatest free software it is set to be the
| default KDE environment in the next major release of Fedora. We caught up
| with a few members of the KDE SIG to talk about the work they're doing to get
| it ready for release, their own opinions on the software and what they think
| about the progress made by Fedora in getting over its GNOME centric
| reputation.

Fedora on the Final Frontier
,----[ Quote ]
| There has been a long standing rumor regarding NASA running Fedora which all
| of us in the Fedora community have been always intrigued by. Is it true? What
| are they doing with it there? Why don't they run RHEL. Fortunately enough, a
| couple of weeks ago, I got to experience NASA behind the scenes, first hand,
| and hang out with the coolest members of the Fedora community, and find out
| the answer to these questions and lots more.

23,000 Linux PCs forge education revolution in Philippines
,----[ Quote ]
| Providing high school students with PCs is seen as a first step to preparing
| them for a technology-literate future, but in the Philippines many schools
| cannot afford to provide computing facilities so after a successful
| deployment of 13,000 Fedora Linux systems from a government grant, plans are
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| underway to roll out another 10,000 based on Ubuntu.
