Paul Sherman mengumumkan rilis Absolute Linux 13.1.1, distribusi ringan berbasis Slackware dengan dekstop IceWM: Absolute 13.1.1 released. New kernel and a boatload of updates from Slackware. Almost replaced Firefox with Google Chrome (which I really like) but due to an endless ‘upload’ bug that keeps crashing Chrome when you try to upload a file, it’ll be in the CD2 directory for testing/playing. The 13.1.0 release was a naming snafu as it pre-dated Slackware’s update. This release (13.1.1) incorporates Slackware 13.1 as well as several re-compiled packages on Absolute and a couple of scripting changes. Some add-ons in the CD2 directory of the FTP sites (Google Chrome and Picasa for example), gmail-notify added and incorporated into email notification setup as an option. Add/Remove programs (PERL script) updated. ...

Robert Gabriel mengumumkan rilis alpha kedua Kongoni GNU/Linux 1.12.3, distribusi berbasis Slackware Linux, siap untuk diunduh dan dites: It took a while, but now the second alpha of Kongoni GNU/Linux is here. I’ve been working a lot to make sure that the installer (KSI) works right, taking into consideration that there were many issues with it. The main issue was the fact that you couldn’t install the system if there wasn’t any swap partition set up before, which had to be fixed. Besides working on KSI, we also moved up with the kernel and now Kongoni runs on 2.6.34. Of course you will find the same things built in, like Squashfs 4 with LZMA support, Aufs 2, Btrfs, Logfs, Nouveau and so on. Since the last release we have synchronized Kongoni with the stable version of Slackware 13.1. ...

Robert Lange mengumumkan rilis alpha pertama VectorLinux 7.0: The development crew is happy to bring you the first core release of VectorLinux 7.0. This is alpha 1 so expect your computer to catch fire and crash and burn… This is all the latest and greatest from Linux from the X.Org server on down. There is nothing fancy here just a console login and doing startx gives you a basic Xfce desktop. There is Firefox, Opera and gFTP to keep you connected and the other basics. There is no gslapt or slapt-get as there is no real repository yet for version 7.0. We would like you brave testers to check for bugs, try building your favorite applications, etc. We have included a new set of plugins to do things like Qt movie trailers, the standard RealPlayer and MS stuff. We want to make sure the core is up to snuff before we spend a lot of time building on top of it. ...

Glenn Cady mengumumkan rilis Ultimate Edition 2.7, distribusi berbasis Ubuntu dalam DVD dengan beberapa desktop environment dan paket piranti lunak ekstra: Ultimate Edition 2.7 was built off Ultimate Edition 2.6 (Ubuntu 10.04). Major difference being that it has been fully updated and has the following environments, user selectable at the login screen: KDE, Xfce, GNOME, LXDE, Openbox. I am not going to do a huge write up on this operating system, I am sure it will be downloaded more then Ultimate Edition 2.6 was. I have said in the past, I am not a KDE man, it looks too much like that ‘other OS’ I will return to Ultimate Edition 2.6. That does not mean our users are not interested in exploring and using these environments. I have included a Conky script I wrote that will generate as per each computer. This script will be in your home folder when installed (your choice to run it or not). ...

Barry Kauler mengumumkan rilis Quirky 1.2, distribusi minimalis yang cepat dengan banyak karakteristik Puppy Linux tetapi dikembangkan dengan toolkit yang berbeda: Quirky 1.2. This continues bug fixing of 1.0/1.1, but also many packages are upgraded and new packages and ideas incorporated. In particular, a wider range of video/audio formats are supported, which is the main reason the live CD image file is a little bigger. There is now a very small HTML viewer for displaying local help files – this has basic CSS support. Release notes: many utilities and small applications upgraded; multimedia packages upgraded; many bug fixes; simple local-help HTML viewer with libgtkhtml.
