Inheriting from Debian
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 25th of February 2009 11:18:52 PM Filed under

Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 25th of February 2009 08:47:17 PM Filed under
linuxplanet.com: Genuine cluefulness in any business is a rare pleasure, and that is why I like ZaReason so much. ZaReason sells Linux boxes: desktop, server, netbook, and pretty much whatever you want. Another priceless bit of cluefulness is the Valerie Aurora Webcam mod option.

The Future of Linux File Systems and Volume Managers
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 25th of February 2009 08:42:51 PM Filed under
hydrasystemsllc.com: I enjoy working with data storage technologies and especially enjoy topics on file systems/volume managers. It is my personal opinion that both UNIX and GNU/Linux are more well equipped to cater to enterprise market although I am still concerned for the future of GNU/Linux with regards to one specific area and that is storage management.

Open source doesn't make software safer
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 25th of February 2009 04:26:53 PM Filed under

AV Linux 2018.4.12, Zenwalk Current-180419, Ubuntu MATE 18.04
| Progress on Plasma Wayland for 5.13
In February after Plasma 5.12 was released we held a meeting on how we want to improve Wayland support in Plasma 5.13. Since its beta is now less than one month away it is time for a status report on what has been achieved and what we still plan to work on.
Also today started a week-long Plasma Sprint in Berlin, what will hopefully accelerate the Wayland work for 5.13. So in order to kick-start the sprint this is a good opportunity to sum up where we stand now.

First set of Bionic (sort-of) RC images for 18.04.
Adam Conrad of the Ubuntu Release Team is pleased to announce the first
set of Bionic RC images for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Over the next couple of hours, builds for Bionic Final should be added
to the tracker[1] for all flavours. The builds have some intentional
omissions, but please do test them anyway.
Known issues that will be addressed Sunday/Monday:
– Volume label still set to Beta
– base-files still not the final version
– kernel will have (at least) one more revision
Despite the above, please, please, please test your images. Do not
wait for a “final” build to test, as that guarantees your final build
will be broken. We need you testing now, iterating uploads to get
your bugs fixed, filing bugs and escalating where you need help.
Again: DO NOT DELAY, TEST NOW, FIX BUGS, FILE BUGS, ESCALATE FOR HELP.
Happy testing everyone, and here’s hoping we push out another smooth
and stress-free release on Thursday.
… Adam Conrad
