| DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 39, 8 March 2004 |
Welcome to this year's 10th edition of DistroWatch Weekly. If you are lucky enough, you are already running the latest version of Mandrake Linux (or is it Mandrakelinux?), released last Friday to Mandrake Club members. Mandrake is the first major distribution shipping with kernel 2.6 and KDE 3.2 and early reports indicate that they have done a great job. If you've tried it, please share your experiences in the forums below. Also, don't forget to check your nearest KDE mirror later today as it seems that the release of KDE 3.2.1 is imminent (already present in Debian Sid).

Progeny builds a new distribution
Those of you who have been following the distribution scene for more than just a couple of years will remember Progeny Debian, a Debian-based Linux distribution with an easy graphical installer. Like some other companies that attempted to create a friendly Debian-based distribution in those days, e.g. Corel and Stormix, Progeny too failed to make much money from the product and the project was abandoned in October 2001, barely 6 months after its launch. The company itself, established by Debian's original founder Ian Murdock, survived the dotcom bust and refocused its activities towards Linux support and services.
In recent months, Progeny has once again been featured in news headlines on Linux news sites. First, it was the company's Transition Service, launched in December 2003, offering support and software updates for users of Red Hat Linux 7.2, 7.3, 8.0 and 9 for US$5 per system per month. Then it was the launch of Anaconda for Debian, a Progeny initiative to port Red Hat's Anaconda installer to Debian, thus creating a more user-friendly installation program for the Debian's x86 architecture. And more recently, we have started to hear about Progeny Componentized Linux:
"For those who view Linux not as a product but as a platform on which to build their own products, the monolithic nature of the typical distribution is a particularly bad fit. The typical Linux-as-product distribution optimises for breadth -- because it is "one-size-fits-all," it needs to include a huge assortment of features and technologies to satisfy the widest possible audience, only a few of which may be important to any given project (and the few that are important will always vary)."
"To allow optimisation for depth, a new kind of distribution is needed -- a componentized distribution from which users may build platforms from the bottom up, including only the features and technologies their products require. Progeny is building such a distribution, which we call (cleverly enough) componentized Linux. Furthermore, we are building it in the open as a community project in the hopes that others will be intrigued with the concept, collaborate with us on the component infrastructure and underlying open-source technologies (Anaconda, APT, etc.) and ultimately build their own components too."
Thus a new Linux distribution, called Progeny Componentized Linux, was born and released late last month. It includes the Anaconda installer, kernel 2.6 and a basic GNOME desktop. However, despite the ISO images being labelled as version 2.0, it is a pre-release version, not quite in perfect state:
"As a prerelease, there are some outstanding issues to note:
- The Anaconda installer is not quite finished. Please see the Anaconda site for more information about Anaconda.
- Although the Linux 2.6 kernel is provided, systems using it can expect some problems. Most of these can be solved by adding "hid" to /etc/modules on the installed system after installation. It is possible to install both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels on the same system and choose which kernel to run at boot time."
You can find more information about Progeny Componentized Linux on the project's home page and download the ISO images from its download server (only the first ISO image is required for installation).

| Upcoming Releases and Announcements |
SUSE LINUX 9.1
Quoting SUSE's PR department, The Inquirer reports about an upcoming SUSE LINUX release expected next month: "SUSE LINUX 9.1, available in April 2004, and the next generation of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server, available in summer 2004, will include an enhanced version of X11 based on a XFree86 version prior to the license change." The full story.
Lunar Linux 1.4
Besides the just released ROCK Linux 2.0.0, two other source-based distributions have announced plans for new releases. Lunar Linux 1.4 will be out shortly: "New lunar ISO in production: after two months of debugging and testing gcc-3.3.x and an ncurses update that has been available for 3 weeks or so now we are getting close to releasing a new ISO. Terry Chan has been working his ends off and produced 3 testisos as of now. The 1.4.0 release will have gcc-3.3.3, a 2.4.25 kernel and ncurses 5.4, including some interesting small fixes and improvements for the install phase. Watch out for the final 1.4.0 release!"
Source Mage GNU/Linux 1.0
On the other hand, a new Source Mage release might be delayed: "It is not a complete vote (no where near actually...), but it is the best we usually do on any vote as seen in the past. It seems the vote is leaning towards delaying the 1.0 release. I will clean up the roadmap on the wiki, postpone the 1.0 release and put to you all to make it a point of discussion at the upcoming admin meeting on the 7th of March."
Freepia 1.4
The Freepia project, a Linux distribution designed to run on Via Epia-M Mainboards, has revealed a new web site, together with plans to bring out a new release: "To speed up and to make it easier to modify, we are going towards Gentoo as base-system. Freevo 1.4RC1 is new, too. It is not working perfectly yet (some work considering optimisation has to be done), but the first release is near." Read the full announcement.
EvilEntity Linux 0.3.0
EvilEntity Linux 0.3.0 is coming soon: "Exciting news!! Base6 is now e17 ready! The Enlightenment Foundation Libraries are complied and working and we are now working on kernel 2.6.0. It is a very exciting time as developers are working hard to bring you DR-0.3.0. The xgn package system has been implemented and a xgn get application has been developed and is working as well. A GUI frontend to the xgn package system and the xgn get application has been developed as well. Get ready to test; a public test release of Base6 is comming soon!" More information.
