Welcome to this year's 47th edition of DistroWatch Weekly. This week we have a brief report on the next release of Gentoo Linux and we also introduce UHU-Linux, a Hungarian project and a major driving force behind Linux adoption in Hungary. Enjoy!

Gentoo looking ahead to 2005, multiple distributions on one CD
 The latest issue of Gentoo Weekly Newsletter, as well as this earlier story on ZDNet provide some interesting information about the upcoming release of Gentoo Linux, scheduled for the first quarter of 2005. Among them, the users (and potential users) of the most popular source-based distribution will be pleased to learn that Gentoo will finally default to kernel 2.6 on all architectures, the Gentoo live CD will serve as a full desktop operating system (not just an installation CD), and it will, for the first time, include an automated graphical installer. These are highly radical changes that will take some effort to implement, but it is nice to see that the developers are listening to their users and are going ahead with providing some of the most often requested features.
The move to kernel 2.6 is hardly a surprise. Gentoo has included this kernel since it was released in late 2003, but due to hardware compatibility issues the developers have refrained from recommending it for general use. The situation has much improved now that the new kernel version has seen nine updates and it has already become the default kernel on several architectures, including PPC and all 64-bit platforms. The release of Gentoo Linux 2005 will mean that the 2.4 kernel will enter a "maintenance mode" and all users will be encouraged to upgrade to 2.6
The full Gentoo live CD is a more interesting new feature, especially because there will be two variants - x86 and AMD64 editions. This would make Gentoo the first full live CD for the AMD64 platform. Besides, it is always a pleasure to be able to test drive a distribution and ensure that there are no compatibility issues before committing to a hard disk install; this is even more true in the case of a source-based distribution where installing a complete workstation might take several days. As for the graphical Gentoo installer, details are still sketchy and it is not clear whether the planned installer will make the system installation less tedious than the present step-by-step process. What it will make easier, however, is the deployment of Gentoo on several machines - through a set of scripts, much like Red Hat/Fedora's kickstart.
Of course, these are still early days, but if all of the above-mentioned features are implemented as planned, they would make Gentoo Linux more acceptable to a much wider audience than the current highly technical nature of the distribution. We have already seen some interesting innovations coming from Gentoo (e.g. the PPC64 port) in recent months and it looks like the developers have more ambitious tricks up their sleeves. If they continue this way, Gentoo Linux might just turn out to be the most exciting project of 2005!

If you are a fan of mini Linux live CDs, you might be interested in "Multi Distro", a compilation of several bootable mini live CDs on one disk. The latest version includes no fewer than seven distributions; these are SLAX 4.2.0, BeatrIX November 04, Damn Small Linux 0.8.4, INSERT 1.2.16, SAM 1.1, GeeXboX 0.99, and Recovery Is Possible. The CD also comes with Memtest86, a memory diagnostic program. All these options are neatly arranged in the initial GRUB menu - just take your pick and boot whichever distribution you fancy trying out today. The project doesn't seem to have an official web site, but the latest ISO image, version 2.0, is available for free download from here: mdv20.iso (699MB).

 Slackware's current changelog has been updated with information about Slackware maintainer Patrick Volkerding's state of health.As many of you know, he has been suffering from a mysterious disease that made him seek medical treatment and put the development of Slackware Linux on hold. While Patrick's health has not improved much, users of the distribution can now at least get security updates for recent Slackware releases: "Bruno H Collovini and Piter Punk in Brazil have been helping to build security updates for Slackware while I'm (mostly) out of commission. They've helped with Slackware for many years and I trust and authorize their patches. These can be found here. Thanks to everyone who has offered to help, and sent get well soon and other kind emails." The only other entry in the changelog is a newly built KOffice package, version 1.3.5. See the full changelog for further information.

| Featured distribution of the week: UHU-Linux |
UHU-Linux
From a group of Linux enthusiasts to one of the most successful Linux projects anywhere in the world - that's the story of UHU-Linux. Formed in April 2002 in Budapest, Hungary, it took the developers almost one year before presenting their fellow countrymen with UHU-Linux 1.0. The distribution was an instant hit. Loosely modelled on Debian and its much praised package management with apt (although UHU-Linux has its own package format called "uhu"), the distribution comprised of highly cutting-edge packages and extensive translation effort of all major applications into Hungarian. The latter was probably the main reason why UHU-Linux was so well-received by users throughout their country.
As the developers gained more experience, new releases, including live CD editions, continued at regular intervals. The project has been largely financed by income from sales of the "Office Edition" (which has a more restrictive license and is intended for use by companies), as well as sale of T-shirts and other merchandise. The project is currently undergoing a beta testing period of its next release - version 1.2, which will include kernel 2.6, X.Org 6.8.1, GNOME 2.8, KDE 3.3 and the usual range of desktop and server applications.
Although UHU-Linux is unlikely to be of interest to those who don't understand Hungarian, there is little doubt that this project has become the major driving force behind Linux adoption in Hungary. As such, it deserves a huge pat on the back, especially for the selfless translation effort of open source applications into Hungarian.

Tao Linux
Tao Linux (pronounced 'dow' Linux) was a project to build a free Linux distribution from the sources used in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux product line. The target market was either experienced system administrators who would like freely available binaries of this code, or end users who are interested in experimenting with enterprise functionality. Besides being mostly compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, it also includes software packages such as Eclipse and clustering tools not found in the base RHEL products.
