DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 82, 10 January 2005 |
Welcome to this year's 2nd edition of DistroWatch Weekly! If you haven't had a chance to try out SUSE LINUX 9.2, now is your chance as the entire Professional edition is now available for download on a mirror site near you. We'll also talk about the new product line from MandrakeSoft and introduce ASP Linux as the featured distribution of the week. Enjoy!

SUSE LINUX 9.2 released mirrors
The biggest news last week was the appearance of SUSE LINUX 9.2 on download mirrors just before the weekend. Unlike any of the SUSE versions released in the last few years, things were a bit different this time as SUSE made available not only the traditional network installation ISO image, but also a full DVD image containing the complete SUSE LINUX 9.2 Professional (both i386 and x86_64 editions), except, of course, any commercial and non-free applications. Although coming later than usual (SUSE LINUX 9.2 was formally released early in November 2004), this is a great news for all who wanted to try the latest SUSE before parting with their hard-earned cash.
Some of the mirrors in Germany started offering the ISO images late on Friday, but most overseas mirrors only caught up on Sunday morning. Some readers who learnt about the release, but were unable to find the ISO images on their favourite mirrors expressed disappointment. If you were one of them, you need to remember that we are talking about several gigabytes of data that needed to be transferred from the main server to dozens of mirrors world-wide, so things took time. Another frequent complaint revolved around the fact that some users were unable to download the large DVD image. This happened because older versions of certain FTP and HTTP servers have a 2GB limit on the size of any single file that can be transferred. If this happened when you attempted to download the ISO, your best bet would have been to search for a different mirror site. Alternatively, some of the mirrors took the initiative to split the ISO image into two (see this Italian mirror as an example). After downloading both parts, you could then re-assemble them with 'cat', like this:
cat SUSE-Linux-9.2-FTP-DVD.iso.part1 SUSE-Linux-9.2-FTP-DVD.iso.part2 > SUSE-Linux-9.2-FTP-DVD.iso
As always, be sure to check the file's md5sums before burning the image to a DVD. Most importantly, have a lot of fun - you will no doubt enjoy SUSE LINUX, which is one of the most mature distributions on the Linux market!
A full DVD image with SUSE LINUX 9.2 Professional is now available for free download (full image size: 687kB)

Mandrakelinux for corporations
Early last week, MandrakeSoft announced the availability of Mandrakelinux Corporate Server 3.0 and Corporate Desktop: "Although Mandrakesoft's main focus has been to make Linux available to the largest number of users, the company has also acknowledged, very early, that Linux required specific adaptations to be functional in a business environment. Mandrakesoft introduced the first version of Corporate Server in September 2000, followed by a second version in early 2003 - two products which have received quite an enthusiastic response."
By releasing products specifically geared towards businesses that require long-term support contracts, MandrakeSoft is attempting to compete with much better established players in this field - Red Hat and Novell. An ambitious move, to say the least - for two reasons. Firstly, MandrakeSoft's marketing budget and sales force are no match compared to Red Hat or Novell, both in terms of available funds and sales experience. Secondly, MandrakeSoft's limited human resources will be further diluted into developing and supporting several new products, rather than concentrating on improving the existing ones. If you take a critical look at MandrakeSoft's confusing collection of web sites and domain names, all with different themes and design attributes, you will notice how badly they are in need of an overhaul, especially if they want to attract large enterprise customers. (You certainly won't find Google AdSense advertisements on Red Hat's or Novell's sites!) Shouldn't this be a priority, instead of producing new editions of Mandrakelinux?
What do you think? Wouldn't it be better if MandrakeSoft concentrated on what they do best - provide a great distribution for home users and first-time Linux converts, rather than trying their luck with the corporate world? Or do you believe that the company is moving in the right direction? Please discuss below.

Featured distribution of the week: ASP Linux |
ASP Linux
Looking through some of the online user forums over the last week, I noticed a fair amount of praise for ASP Linux 10, a Fedora-based Russian distribution released just before Christmas. Users who installed it not only found the product very stable and bug-free, they were also impressed by the inclusion of many packages that are normally missing from the standard Fedora Core, such as MPlayer, xine, libdvdcss, the NVIDIA driver, and other similar applications that might invite potential trouble for US-based companies. Although the distribution's web site and support resources are in Russian only, users can install ASP Linux in English or several other languages.
Despite releasing their products as freely available ISO images, ASP Linux is a commercial company. It was established in May 2000 in Singapore, with its main development office in Moscow. In late 2001, the Moscow office took full ownership of ASP Linux and merged with the Ukraine-based Black Cat Linux, a company developing embedded Linux solutions. The first product of ASP Linux appeared in March 2001 when version 7.0 (based on Red Hat Linux 7.0) was released. New product releases, all based on Red Hat Linux and, later, Fedora Core, followed in regular intervals.
ASP Linux supplies several editions of ASP Linux for the domestic market; these include Greenhorn, Express, Standard, Deluxe and Server editions. The company also offers a range of Linux-related services and training courses, as well as various support options and free community resources for Linux users. As such, ASP Linux has established itself as a leading Linux company in Russia.

Included in 1.6.1.1 are a new desktop icon selection (Buffalo IceWM), several new Buffalo Themes, updated Acroread and Opera, plusmany new desktop window manager 'bundle' packages: Blackbox, Fluxbox, GNOME, KDE, WindowMaker, XFce."

Asianux 2.0
As reported by The Korea Herald, the developers of Asianux are preparing for the distribution's second release, version 2.0, later this year: "'By June, we will be able to come up with an open-source system that is comparable to SUSE and Red Hat,' said a Hancom spokesman. 'The date of release was rescheduled considering the Korean government's adoption of NEIS, a database of the country's high-school population, which will be around the second semester next year, apparently a huge opportunity to introduce a new open-source solution.'"
