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.
