Warning: Mandrake 9.2 destroys hardware
As has been widely reported, installing Mandrake Linux 9.2 can render certain types of CD-ROM drives permanently unusable. MandrakeSoft has issued an errata about the problem, while a list of affected CD-ROM drives is available here. There are reports that the problem has been identified and a new kernel is currently being tested. Users whose computers contain one of the affected CD-ROM drives by LG Electronics are urged not to install Mandrake Linux 9.2 until a workaround is found.
Not surprisingly, LG Electronics have not acknowledged the problem, nor did they issue any sort of warning. According to the above mentioned errata, the "[LG Electronics'] Optical Disc Drive products do not support Linux nor do they test with Linux". While most Linux users will feel little or no pity for the Korean manufacturer and the potential damage to their reputation and sales following the widely reported incident, MandrakeSoft finds itself in an unenviable situation. It cannot ship the product with such a serious, known issue, yet remastering even one CD with updated software will cost money and result in further delays in product shipment. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Mandrake can only hope that its traditional openness and honesty towards users will help them overcome yet another crisis on their road to financial recovery.
Comodo acquires Trustix
Good news for the fans and users of Trustix Secure Linux. After filing for bankruptcy late in September, Trustix was acquired by Comodo Group Ltd, an UK-based Internet security company: "Trustix, a Norwegian company that sells Linux software intended to be attack-resistant, has been acquired by the Comodo Group, an Internet security company. Terms of the acquisition, announced Friday, were not disclosed." The developers of Trustix Secure Linux continued the development under the name of "Tawie Server Linux", but it looks like we are in for another name change as the title of the tawie.com web page has now been renamed to "Comodo Trustix" and "over the next few weeks Tawie Server Linux and Trustix Secure Linux will be merged, as the developers have been employed by Comodo Group". We'll keep you updated on further developments.

GeeXboX 0.95
This is a "Halloween" edition of GeeXboX, version 0.95: "Here it comes again! GeeXboX releases take much and much time but add a full list of new features and bug fixes, as usual. This time, many compatibility problems have been solved and there's the so awaited support for soundcards digital output. Look at this quick changelog : fix display problems with nVidia, SiS and Kyro graphic adapters; support for multi-subbed OGM files; added AutoPlay; added XCD support; added lots of translations (available in 11 languages); added support for Creative PC-DVD, Sony RM-S6 and RX-V850 remote controllers, added a GUI-Win32 version of the generator with many bugfixes; updated MPlayer to version 1.0pre2...." See the full changelog on the distribution's home page.
Damn Small Linux 0.4.10
Damn Small Linux 0.4.10 is out. Changes: "I compiled new Xvesa and Xfbdev Xservers from CVS, these servers just work better -- mouse scroll is better, and there is no longer the need to re-map the mouse buttons. That mouse and X bug in 0.4.9 should be gone now. A fun addition for this release is TuxNES, and an assortment of public domain games. There are hundreds more available by download. As odd as it may seem, the games made for the 18 year old entertainment system are a very good match with DSL. The Firebird install script is updated to 0.7, and there is a new Fluxbox theme, "Lawn". Also new is Nano-tiny." There is a lot more in the changelog.
GoboLinux 007
GoboLinux 007 has been released: "After some weeks of intensive work, GoboLinux 007 final is available for download (download it!). Since 006, there were major improvements all over the system, including the functionality required to pack 'Environment', 'Daemons' and 'Default Settings' information within packages (using the 'Resources' directory). The Live CD experience was also severely improved: now you can run even KDE and OpenOffice without touching your hard disk. With the use of IsoLinux, most (maybe all) of the compatibility problems experienced when trying to boot the 006 CD on certain machines are solved. If you have a GoboLinux 006 running, you don't need to reinstall it. Use the GoboLinux006-007 conversion script to turn your system fully compatible with the new scripts and packages." See the rest of the release announcement.
Astaro Security Linux 4.016
Astaro 4.016 is a new release of the Astaro Security Linux 4 series: "This is the third V4 ISO: asl-4.016. It includes the released V4-Up2Dates 4.001-4.015 and some new features and bugfixes. New, changed, improved: new kernel for supporting new hardware; extended PCMCIA card support (Prism 2/2.5/3) for WLAN; added more ACPI functions - ASL will power off after a shutdown; added DMA support for speeding up newer hard disks..." The full announcement includes a complete list of bug fixes, update instructions and a list of download mirrors.
Dyne:bolic 1.1.1
A new bug fix version of Dyne:bolic has been released: "The new 1.1.1 version is out today, bugfix release: if dyne:bolic wasn't booting on your machine, this will fix the problem! Only AWARD BIOS computers were affected by a bug, if 1.1 allready works for you, there is no need to upgrade. Thanks to all the people helping to track the problem on our mailinglist!" Read the rest of the announcement on the distribution's home page.

Puppy Linux 0.7.4
Puppy Linux has been updated to version 0.7.4. From the release notes: "Upgrading from a previous version, delete .etc folder and .fvwm95rc. If you wish to connect to the Internet by dial-up analog modem, please unplug any Ethernet network cable, as Puppy senses its presence during boot-up. Puppy now has DHCP and Samba clients, so you can get onto a LAN and presumably the Internet (untested). Any feedback on configuring these most welcome! I have created a page with step-by-step instructions to experiment with connecting two PCs together, one running Puppy, the other running Windows: Testing Puppy-to-Win networking."

Gibraltar 1.0
After several years in development Gibraltar Firewall is soon to reach a stable state in version 1.0: "The commercial release of Gibraltar will be officially presented on November 10th.

A free edition of the Debian-based firewall will also be available, however some features will be missing: "Besides the commercial release of Gibraltar, there is as well a freely available release. The core functions of both realease are equal. However, for installing and configuring the free version, a sound knowledge of Linux and of network technologies is necessary, as it is not complemented with a web interface and the resulting ease of use. Furthermore there is no guaranteed support." Find out more on the distribution's home and product pages.

On BarbieOS
- "Do you know a link to this beta? It's on news sites but the Mattel and Barbie sites have no download links. The PR says it's Debian based. It's Beta .99. Thanks."
It is hard to believe how many people got caught by a fictitious story about the imminent release of BarbieOS, a Debian-based Linux distribution for adolescent girls. Let's spell it out clearly once and for all: it's a joke, guys! There is no such thing as "BarbieOS" or "Barbie Linux" and you certainly cannot download it, so please stop looking for it. Nevertheless, it's a great story and we have added the link to our Fun Distributions page.
On anti-Mandrake bias
- A quote from a post attached to LWN's No More Free Beer? (subscribers only until Thursday): "I get the distinct feeling that recent articles by Ladislav are either maliciously discriminating against Mandrake Linux, or are simply trolling (such as ZDNet and friends do, hoping to gain readership by posting controversial articles). I paid my membership fees to LWN to get LWN-style content, not rehashes of DistroWatch's biased (against Mandrake by the slant of most articles) opinion."
Like every web site and every author writing about Linux distributions, myself and DistroWatch too are regularly accused of undue bias for or against a certain distribution. DistroWatch has been labelled anti-Lindows, anti-SUSE, anti-Gentoo, anti-Red Hat and anti-{$distribution} in the past and will no doubt continue to be subjected to similar opinions in the future. This is something that I have to live with, because putting up a fight every time some posters decide to voice their discontent would take too much energy, which I'd rather spend on more productive things.
The above accusation is simply ridiculous. Many readers and acquaintances seek my opinion about the choice of a Linux distribution and while my advice depends on many factors, in majority of cases, I tend to recommend Mandrake. My early steps learning Linux were done almost exclusively in Mandrake. And I still like Mandrake, both the distribution and the company. But if anybody believes that Mandrake is perfect, that Mandrake has no flaws and that there is never any need to express a negative point about it, then I strongly suspect that it is not _I_ who is biased.
Nevertheless, I welcome these opinions. I am only a human and like everybody else, I do have my preferred distribution or two. Despite what some of you might believe, I do try hard to be as neutral as possible - a futile effort for sure, but still worth trying. But if I ever step out of line, please let me know. Even better, submit your own articles. My email address is written on the bottom of every page and anybody who wishes to express his/her opinion about any aspect of any Linux distribution is more than welcome. You can even write a strongly pro-Mandrake article and I'll be happy to publish it word-by-word. Whether the readers will agree with you, is of course another matter...
That's all for this week, keep well and see you next Monday :-)
