CrunchBang Linux 10 "Alpha 1" Released, Ditches Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| Philip Newborough has announced the 
| development release (Alpha 1) version of 
| CrunchBang Linux 10 code-named "Statler" 
| just moments after the release of Ubuntu 
| 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" Beta 1. For the first 
| time ever, the distro is being built using 
| Debian sources, instead of Ubuntu.

,----[ Quote ]
| MEPIS has now made available the third 
| release candidate of its upcoming Linux-
| based operating system, SimplyMEPIS 8.5 RC 
| 3. The new release comes with several 
| updates, both upgraded packages and fresh 
| features, and is available for 32-bit, as 
| well as 64-bit platforms. There is no clear 
| time frame for the final release but this

| SimplyMEPIS 8.5 should be coming in a week 
| or two.

Debian Based Linux Distributions

,----[ Quote ]
| I am somewhat surprised with the number of 
| Linux distributions with Debian roots. A 
| total of 129. This list doesnât even 
| include all the Ubuntu variations like 
| Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, etc.

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."
