Noi apariţii/versiuni de software pentru Linux

Mandriva Linux 2007
The key innovation of Mandriva Linux 2007 is the spectacular AIGLX and Xgl 3D-accelerated desktop. Mandriva is the only distribution to provide both technologies and is particularly happy to have achieved this major breakthrough in desktop appearance. In addition, a new theme named Ia Ora ("hello" in French Polynesian) has been introduced.

Mandriva developed Invictus Firewall - this feature is available in Powerpack+ 2007 - a high-availability redundant firewall cluster system. To match everyone's needs, Mandriva Linux 2007 includes the latest innovations in the fields of office suite applications, Internet, multimedia and the new virtualization and 3D-accelerated desktop technologies.

După cum se anunţase, azi a fost lansată versiunea 6.10 aka "Edgy Eft" de Ubuntu Linux, alături de echivanlentele pentru KUbuntu şi Edubuntu.

Acestea beneficiază, însă, doar de 18 luni de suport (atât pentru versiunile desktop, cât şi pentru cele server) - comparativ cu versiunea 6.06, care era LTS ("long-term support").
 
Sabayon Linux

O distribuţie care, se pare, oferă suport hardware foarte bun şi o interfaţă grafică arătoasă şi bine finisată, plus uşurinţă în utilizare. :biggrin:

The fact that things work out of the box will be welcomed to many new users. Most anything you need to do can be done immediately after installing. Ripping DVDs or Audio CD's, re-encoding a FLAC file to an MP3 with soundKonverter, updating your spreadsheets, playing with Google Earth or even using NX, Tor or the other many programs installed. No other distro comes close (to my knowledge) of the sheer amount of potential after initial install.

Sabayon Linux 3.26: home, download, review. Iar versiunea 3.3 e pe drum: Sabayon Linux 3.3: Almost there... :smile:
 
Răsfoind reviewul pot spune că mă atrage mai mult ca Vista să-l încerc să văd cum este. (Windows XP happy user here)
 
Nu, dar cred că o să-l iau să văd ce-i cu el, că ş-aşa am două partiţii ext3, cu Ubuntu 6.10 pe ambele.
 
Am luat versiunea 3.2 (doar ăsteia i-am găsit ISO CD, cel pentru 3.3 avea 2+GB). Am instalat. O mers destul de repede, installer-u grafic arată chiar bine (cred că e bazat pe Anaconda). DE-ul default de KDE. Se poate activa uşor Beryl pentru a avea parte de eye-candy stuff.

Faptul că e Gentoo-based e cam naşpa pentru mine, odată pentru că nu am vreme să stau să compilez la greu pachete ş-apoi pentru că nu-s familiarizat cu modul Gentoo de configurare a tuturor treburilor prin sistem (flags, config files etc.). De asemenea, nici cu KDE-ul nu-s foarte obişnuit, Ubuntu folosind Gnome. Un ultim minus ar fi documentaţia specifică distribuţiei. Fiind Gentoo-based, majoritatea nelămuririlor se pot rezolva căutând în vasta documentaţie disponibilă pentru Gentoo, dar sunt unele lucruri specifice (mă gândeam să fac update de la 3.2 la 3.3) pe care nu le-am găsit (ok, nici n-am căutat foarte mult - doar pe wiki).

Partea bună e package managementul. Chiar m-ar încânta o distribuţie binară având un package management bazat pe emerge şi ebuilds. Sabayon cică se poate updata de la o versiune la alta fără a fi nevoie să compilezi chestii, iar cum ei zic că update-urile sunt frecvente, ar fi şi asta o variantă. Oricum, cred că următorul ISO care o să-l iau o fi cel de FreeBSD. :smile:

Despre Sabayon, un review găsiţi aici.
