NEW • Development Release: openSUSE 42.2 Alpha 2 |
 |
Ludwig Nussel has announced the availability of the second alpha build of the upcoming openSUSE 42.2: "openSUSE 42.2 alpha 2 is on the mirrors. Since alpha 1 lots of components from SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 were integrated, among them an updated YaST, a full GNOME 3.20 update, Samba 4.4, systemd 228, glibc 2.22, Mesa 11.2, CMake. KDE wasn't updated, so testing alpha 2 probably makes more sense on GNOME right now. Bugzilla is awaiting your reports. Some of those updates like CMake and glibc cause other packages to fail building. So the amount of broken packages in 42.2 has increased quite a bit, according to the dashboard we have 181 unresolvable or failed packages right now. Help to analyze and fix the issues is appreciated there. The next alpha is schedule for July 20th, so please submit your fixes and package updates no later than July 15th." Here is the full release announcement as published on the opensuse-factory mailing list. Download either the installation DVD image or the small "netinstall" file from here: openSUSE-Leap-42.2-DVD-x86_64-Build0045-Media.iso (4,397MB, SHA256, pkglist), openSUSE-Leap-42.2-NET-x86_64-Build0045-Media.iso (93.0MB, SHA256). |

NEW • Distribution Release: Fedora 24 |
 |
The Fedora Project has announced the launch of Fedora 24. The new version of Fedora ships with GNOME 3.20 and the Fedora graphical package manager supports working with Flatpak packages. Though Fedora still uses X as the default display server, Wayland is available as an alternative display technology. "The Fedora 24 Workstation release features GNOME 3.20, with many usability improvements such as easier input device and printer settings, a better search interface, shortcut windows for keyboard commands, and more convenient music controls. Flatpak (formerly xdg-app) is another building-block feature, with Software able to track installed Flatpaks and adding more features in the future as the technology develops. The Software app has also grown features to provide a full system upgrade directly from the desktop from one Fedora release to the next, and the ability to provide labelling as well as reviews of available software. Fedora 24 continues our work on the X replacement, Wayland, a next-generation graphics stack." Further details can be found in the release announcement. Fedora is available in Workstation, Server and Cloud editions.

NEW • Distribution Release: Ultimate Edition 5.0 |
 |
Ultimate Edition is a distribution based on Ubuntu which strives to provide an easy-to-use desktop operating system. The project has announced the launch of Ultimate Edition 5.0 LTS which is based on Ubuntu 16.04. The new release is currently available in a MATE 64-bit edition, though other desktop flavours and 32-bit builds are planned. "What is Ultimate Edition 5.0? Ultimate Edition 5.0 was built from the Ubuntu 16.04 'Xenial Xerius' tree using a combination of Tmosb (TheeMahn's Operating System Builder), almost completely re-written. Tmosb is also included in this release, allowing you to do the same. This release is a long-term supported (LTS) release, supported until the year 2019. This release is most certainly worthy of the Ultimate Edition title. Currently I have only built the tip of the iceberg, starting with a 64-bit 'Lite' based on MATE 1.14.1. I have full intentions of building a 32-bit of the same, a full variant based on GNOME, a Gamers edition, perhaps another Lite variant based off Xfce and, time permitting, a Developer's edition." Additional information and screen shots can be found in the project's release announcement. Download (MD5): ultimate-edition-5.0-x64-lite-mate.iso (2,888MB, pkglist). |

NEW • Development Release: Zenwalk Linux 8.0 RC2 |
 |
Jean-Philippe Guillemin has announced that the second release candidate for the upcoming Zenwalk Linux 8.0 is ready for testing: "This is most probably the final release candidate for the upcoming Zenwalk 8.0. This pre-release ISO image should be at 99% the stable target, you will get latest LibreOffice 5.1.3, latest Chromium 51, MPlayer 1.3, FFmpeg 3.0.1, latest Slackware 'Current' system (many upstream packages updated) featuring the Linux kernel 4.4.13, and a new desktop layout for Xfce 4.12. Lately, system tools have been heavily improved to fully integrate Policykit privileges elevation features, enabling the unprivileged user to tweak many system parameters that require root ownership - you can now change your user password from the Xfce panel by just entering your previous password, you can set the X.Org keyboard layout without root privileges, set your locale, set the login manager settings, set system clock. All these features can, of course, be hardened with Policykit to disallow automatic privileges elevation for users." Continue tot he release announcement for more information and a screenshot.
