News on Saterday

We are going to take a quick look to all those important news that were published during this week:

  • OpenOffice.org 3.0 RC3 was published. Even though it was supposed to be published at the end of September, it seems that they want to fix some issues by this time. So we have to wait until…
  • Yesterday was also published Ubuntu 8.10 beta (there is nothing important to say, except the horrible wallpaper that they set as default, download it). Novell released the second beta of OpenSUSE 11.1 as well (download it).
  • Gentoo team decided to cancel 2008.1 release, so until 2009 we won’t see another big release.
  • A courious new: a hackers kernel team achieve to boot a linux on an EeePC in only 5 seconds!
  • There is a new KDE release, the 4.1.2, that fix a problem removing files (now is faster).
  • And The Gimp 2.6 was also released, and it came with a lot of changes: now the menu bar is not on the drawing tools window, developers changed it to a new window. The result is: Gimp is approaching its aspect to Photoshop (on Mac). It is possible to have it on Ubuntu Hardy using the getdeb repository.
