Distributions: From Fedora 12 to openSUSE
,----[ Quote ]
| The major Linux distributors have released kernel updates to close a critical
| security vulnerability, a pre-release version of Fedora 12 was made available
| and Debian wants more structured release cycles. There's also been commotion
| about a default desktop for openSUSE, while Novell announced the formation of
| a dedicated team for the community distribution. The CentOS project seems to
| have overcome its internal problems and finally released version 4.8 of the
| free Red Hat clone.

Open source synthetic biology
,----[ Quote ]
| Not everyone within synthetic biology takes the open-source approach, Andrew
| Hessel, an iGEM consultant who recruits teams from Canadian universities,
| told me, but the driving force behind it is iGEM and MIT (Rettberg works with
| renowned hacker-turned-synthetic biologist Tom Knight). Hessel likened the
| atmosphere to the time when computers were first becoming cheap enough to be
| affordable by anyone who wanted one, and young, bright kids began to play
| around with code.
