Distributions and Linux kernel 2.6.0
How many of you see this when issuing a "uname -r" command?
Probably not many. One reason is that the newly released linux-2.6.0 has only been around for a few days, arriving at a time when people in many parts of the world are preparing for Christmas holidays. But there is a second reason: a switch from linux-2.4 to linux-2.6 appears to be considerably more involved that the previous major change from linux-2.2 to linux-2.4 nearly 3 years ago. But if you desperately want to run the latest kernel without compiling it yourself and (quite possibly) breaking your existing system, what are your choices? In other words, are there any distributions out there supplying the 2.6.0 kernel? Yes, there are. But don't expect a super stable and trouble-free system from any of them.
Users of source-based Linux distributions are traditionally the first ones to get to play with the cutting edge stuff. Indeed, the latest development branches of Gentoo Linux, ROCK Linux and Sorcerer do already provide the 2.6.0 kernel sources for your compiling pleasure. None of them has moved it into their respective stable branches and don't be surprised to see a few glitches after you boot into it for the first time. Of the major distributions, Linux 2.6.0 has been spotted in the Fedora development branch, Mandrake Cooker and in Slackware's current branch in the testing/sources directory. There are still no signs of the new kernel in the Debian unstable branch.
At the moment, possibly the best way to try out the new kernel, together with other bleeding edge features, such as KDE 3.2beta and XFree86 4.4rc1, is to install the new Conectiva snapshot, called Conectiva 10 TP1 (Technology Preview 1). It was released over the weekend and is now available from the distribution's mirror sites as a single 611MB ISO image. The usual warnings apply: don't try this one on a production system. Conectiva 10 TP1 is not even a beta release, it's more like an early alpha of the upcoming Conectiva Linux 10 scheduled for Q2/2004. That said, it is fun to play with the system (despite KDE 3.2 being far too buggy for one's comfort) which gives an excellent indications of things to look forward to in the coming year. Besides Conectiva, Mandrake has also released a similar pre-beta ISO image for early testing, although the kernel version in it is 2.6.0-test11, rather than the stable 2.6.0.
Conectiva Linux 10 TP1 (full image size 312kB)
And while on the subject of the new kernel - no, the latest NVIDIA driver, version 1.0-5328 released today still does not support the 2.6 kernel series. The only way to get it work is to patch it with the minion.de patch before compiling.

There is now a script that makes it very easy to install Puppy on a USB memory device, such as a Flash card. Furthermore, the script has an option of a lo-RAM installation, which will work on PCs with much less than 128M -- a minimum has not yet been tested. This script is in the 'Utilities' menu."

| Upcoming Releases and Announcements |
Fedora Core 2
The Fedora developers have announced a release schedule for the Fedora Core 2, due to enter the beta testing phase on 2 February 2004 and planned to be released on 5 April 2004: "We have set a very aggressive schedule for Fedora Core 2. Red Hat considers two items absolutely 'stop-ship' — that is, we will slip the release if necessary to include them. These two items are the 2.6 Linux kernel and SELinux functionality integrated into the distribution. Other areas of technology that the Fedora Community (Red Hat and third parties together) will focus on will include GNOME 2.6 (tight schedule, particularly dependent on Gtk+ 2.4), KDE 3.2, more Java software using gcj (Ant, Tomcat, Jakarta, Eclipse, but not Mozilla plugins, AWT, or Swing), and integrating work on other architectures (at least AMD64, and possibly also SPARC)." More information on this page.
MIKO GNYO/Linux 1.6
Japan's MIKO GNYO/Linux project has announced that version 1.6 of its Debian-based live CD will be release on 30 December. More information in this roadmap (in Japanese).

New additions
- White Box Enterprise Linux. What is the goal for White Box Linux? To provide an unencumbered RPM based Linux distribution that retains enough compatibility with Red Hat Linux to allow easy upgrades and to retain compatibility with their errata SRPMs. Being based off of RHEL3 means that a machine should be able to avoid the upgrade treadmill until October 2008 since RHEL promises errata availability for five years from date of initial release and RHEL3 shipped in Oct 2003. Or more briefly, to fill the gap between Fedora and RHEL. Why was White Box Linux created? White Box Linux's initial creation has been sponsored by the Beauregard Parish Public Library in DeRidder, LA USA out of self interest. We have several servers and over 50 workstations running Red Hat Linux and were left high and dry by their recent shift in business plan. Our choices were a difficult migration to another distribution or paying Red Hat an annual fee greater than the amortized value of our hardware. So we chose a third path, made possible by the power of Open Source.... White Box Linux.
- vnlinuxCD. vnlinuxCD is a Vietnamese live CD Linux distribution based on Mandrake Linux.
- STUX GNU/Linux . STUX GNU/Linux is a Linux system that runs from a CDROM; STUX can automatically load and save main configuration and personal files on a writable partition. It is based on Slackware Linux.
Discontinued distributions
- LinuxInstall.org. The LinuxInstall.org distribution has been discontinued: "It's been a great year for LinuxInstall.org Project where I learned so much about Linux Distribution and Linux Community. I'm so proud of being in this community and I want to continue to be part of the community and be more active in this community. So I've decided to become Fedora Project Community Service Provider instead of being independent Linux Distribution Personal Project." Find more information here. LinuxInstall.org has been retired to the Discontinued Distributions and removed from all statistics.
New on the waiting list
- Ignalum Linux. "Ignalum Linux distributions are designed from the ground-up specifically for enterprise computing. Ignalum is located in Markham, Ontario, Canada. The privately held company was founded in the year 2002 with a vision of creating a cost-effective, installation-friendly, complete Linux-based operating environment offering full Windows compatibility. Ignalum is dedicated to the development and promotion of Linux-based operating systems and applications."
- Orangecell.org Linux. Orangecell.org is a fast, easy to configure distribution that is compiled from source Code (Like Gentoo LINUX). It has an intuitive user interface for retrieving and installing packages. It autodetects the best available settings for your machine and compiles from that.
Removed from the waiting list
-
System-Down Linux. There has been no stable release and very little activity on the distribution's web site during the past 6 months.
DistroWatch database summary

On page hit ranking
"I am just curious why there is sudden huge drop in number of clicks on most distribution pages. Has there been any change in the way you are collecting stats or are the users not interested in checking out."
The above question came from a visitor from Pakistan and here is the explanation: this is normal before and during the Christmas holidays. People need to do cleaning, shopping, preparing... Christmas is the biggest holiday in the Christian world and the majority of DistroWatch visitors do come from Christian countries (America, Europe, Australia...). There is nothing to worry about it, the drop is perfectly normal at this time of the year.
With this note, we'll close for today and for the year 2003. See you all on 5 January 2004, with DistroWatch Weekly, issue 30!
