Sneak Peeks at Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and OpenSuSE
10.3
Jason Perlow, Sr. Technology Editor, Linux Magazine, and
Advisory
Architect, IBM Global Technology Services, will be
presenting a sneak
peek at Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" and OpenSuSE
10.3, updated versions
of two popular Linux distributions currently under
development.
Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10, upon its release in the Fall of
2007, will be
the latest incarnation of the world's fastest growing
Free Software
Linux distribution. Built upon the technology in Debian,
targeted
towards a wide range of end users and sporting the
lastest Linux Kernel
2.6.22, it will have the latest implementation of GNOME,
FireFox,
OpenOffice, and other useful Open Source applications, as
well as
support for a wide array of devices including wireless
networking and
3D accelerated video drivers thru open source and
"restricted"
proprietary device drivers from 3rd parties. Ubuntu,
which was first
released in 2003 by South African billionaire Mark
Shuttleworth, has
quickly usurped Fedora as the most downloaded Linux
distribution on the
Internet.
OpenSUSE 10.3, also due in the fall, is the next version
of Novell's
popular Open Source and community-based Linux
Distribution. Derived
from SuSE Linux Professional, which used to be a
commercial product,
OpenSUSE 10.3 is both a bleeding-edge technology
demonstrator for
Novell's future enterprise products and an end-user Linux
distribution
for power users that is packed full of software
applications, advanced
desktop/workstation Linux technology as well as the very
latest in Open
Source development tools. Distributed on DVD media and
engineered at
Novell's research facilities in Nuremburg, Germany, it is
the literal
Mercedes Benz of Linux distributions.
