UHU-Linux 2.0: The Bilingual Owl, Smart & Savvy
Like I said last Friday, UHU-Linux 2.0 was released as the first version (the fourth in its history, after 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) to support the English language as an extra to Hungarian.
Knowing that Frugalware is an interesting distro, I was deadly curious to see how can keep up this "another Hungarian distro" with the other English language distros, now that it got bilingual.
It's worth noting that Hungary is a small country, and UHU-Linux was exclusively developed by Magyars (as it only featured this language till now), while Frugalware has an international team of developers.
Also of note, UHU-Linux 2.0 Test 2 was released in July, so they had quite some time for testing and bug-fixing. Some people liked even Test 2 — let's see now what we got in the final release.
The FTP and the torrent were unavailable when I tried to download the CD version, so I got it through rsync. The CD version only has GNOME and it features 882 packages, while the DVD edition has KDE and a lot more — but even with the CD, you can get everything from the online repositories: Synaptic listed 2177 packages.
Let's proceed to the installation now.
(Distrowatch published a little blurb on UHU-Linux 2.0 as well.)

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
