Distribution Release: Beehive Linux 0.6.0 |
| A new version of Beehive Linux has appeared on some mirrors: beehive_linux-0.6.0.iso (519MB). There is no news about this release anywhere on the Beehive's web site, but it is likely to be a stable release. GNOME packages which made their first appearance in the 0.5.0 release are gone again and KDE 3.0.2 is now the only desktop environment. Compiled with GCC 3.1, it uses Kernel 2.4.18 and Perl 5.8.0, but most packages are on a slightly more conservative side than was the case with most previous Beehive releases. Keep an eye on the distribution's news and updates section for official announcements. Finally, just a reminder that Beehive Linux is optimised for i686 architectures (it won't install on anything less than Pentium II) and it is designed for experienced system administrators.

Distribution Release: Beehive 0.5.0 |
|
| Beehive Linux 0.5.0 announced. Code named 'Money Shot', this is your last chance to get it for free: "This will be the *last* release free for download. Going forward Beehive will be subscription based at a cost of $60 per year for quarterly releases. Why am I doing this? Beehive has had over 70K downloads in the 14 months it's been on the grid. In all that time I have had exactly *one*, yes *one* (thank you j.p.) donation to help offset the cost of colo & bandwidth. There are mirrors yes, but that doesn't pay for the master server, bandwidth, or time." The ISO image has also been uploaded and you can get it here: beehive_linux-0.5.0.iso (665MB). In the meantime, take a look at our Beehive, Major Distributions and Top 10 Distributions pages.. The complete package list can be perused here.

Distribution Release: Beehive 0.4.4 |
|
| Speaking of smaller distributions, Beehive Linux is apparently one of the more successful stories, now permanently occupying the number 6 position in our page hit ranking. Beehive has also announced a new release, version 0.4.4, after a "mismatch with the ReiserFS tools on the 0.4.3 CD image". A fix has been posted. New 0.4.3a ISO image (612MB) is now available and a brand new 0.4.4 ISO image with many updates should be up in a few days. As usual, more information on the Beehive page.

At one point or another gamers can hit the wall when using other OS systems such as Linux and Mac, as Windows has always been renowned as the OS of choice for the gaming community. In a lot of cases this has changed somewhat over the last few years with the use of virtualization software that helps to bridge that gap, and it can be quite successful to a point. Of course, when you virtualize another OS you can lose some of the performance, than say running a game natively, and with slowdowns and bugs comes frustration. We have listed a few resources that we think are worth a mention for different types of gamers, both online multiplayer and single player, see what you think:
- World of Goo. This is a great puzzle game that will keep you busy for hours, there's also a free playable demo version.
- If you're a online poker enthusiast we can recommend you check out the pokerlistings.com Linux poker page, it has a list of poker apps that are compatible with your OS.
- For the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) crowds you could always take a look at Vendetta online, "thousands of people can play together, at the same time, in a single, persistent universe", sounds great!
