SimplyMEPIS 8.5 RC2 is Available

,----[ Quote ]
| Warren Woodford has released SimplyMEPIS 
| 8.4.99, RC2 of MEPIS 8.5, now available 
| from MEPIS and public mirrors. The ISO 
| files for 32 and 64 bit processors are 
| SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.4.99-rc2_32.iso and 
| SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.4.99-rc2_64.iso 
| respectively. Deltas are also available.
| 
| Warren reported: "In the past week, we've 
| fixed some bugs reported by the community 
| and updated the MEPIS Assistants. And 
| we've updated some packages containing bug 
| fixes: digikam 1.1.0, ghostscript 8.71, 
| kdebase-workspace 4.3.4-5 and wl-modules 
| 5.60.48.36. The community is hard at work 
| on translations, updated manual, and a 
| couple of new utilities. I expect RC3 to 
| be ready in a week or so. It should be the 
| last RC before we go final with 8.5."

CeBIT 2010: Debian with BSD Kernel

,----[ Quote ]
| Debian developer Alexander Reichle-Schmehl 
| presented Debian GNU/kFreeBSD at the Open 
| Source Forum at CeBIT. The FreeBSD port 
| should become an official part of the 
| upcoming Debian version 6.0 free distro.
| 
| The new architectures kfreebsd-i386 and 
| kfreebsd-amd64 will become a part of 
| Debian's new offerings. The "k" in the 
| name, Reichle-Schmehl indicates, is only 
| that the FreeBSD kernel is involved and 
| not the C libraries, for example. The 
| FreeBSD kernel currently in use is version 
| 7.2, with an update to 8.0 possible. The 
| operating system should provide the "best 
| of both worlds," the stable BSD kernel and 
| Debian's package management and 
| infrastructure.
