RPM Fusion enters testing state
,----[ Quote ]
| RPM Fusion, a merge of several former Fedora 3rd party repositories providing
| licence/patent problematic packages, has entered the public testing state.
| Fedora Rawhide users can now start using it, and the brave among the Fedora 9
| and Fedora 8 users can also help testing.

Canonical Publishes ATI Catalyst 8.10 Beta
,----[ Quote ]
| Whatever the official case is, Canonical is now providing an ATI Linux driver
| that isn't yet available to ATI's customers through their driver web-site.
| This driver is part of the fglrx 8.54 release stream, which makes it part of
| what should be Catalyst 8.10. Considering this is a beta driver, don't be
| surprised if there are a few bugs in this initial X Server 1.5 support or
| fallout elsewhere. At least ATI card owners will now be able to use Ubuntu
| 8.10 with a working graphics driver. With this release now out there, we will
| continue our exploration of this new driver.

| Hans de Goede: We want to be a one stop place for Fedora add-on packages
| which cannot be in Fedora proper due to various issues. Currently we are a
| merger of the dribble, freshrpms and livna repositories, and we invite other
| repositories to join us.

| you want a .deb package for your debian,Ubuntu and other debian derived
| ditributions.If you can?t find .deb debian package in any of the
| debian,ubuntu repositories or elsewhere, you can use the alien
