New Releases for Debian and SUSE

Posted by timothy on from the don't-move-along-something-to-see dept.

linuxbeta writes "With the recent SUSE LINUX 9.3 Live DVD ISO released, we get a sneak peek. (screenshots) of this much anticipated OS update. Cool updates in 9.3 includes Firefox 1.0, OpenOffice.org 2.0, Gimp 2.2, Beagle. Xen, VoIP client, and more." And while Debian's Sarge isn't here yet (give Branden Robinson a chance to find his plush new office!), wrochal points out that the fifth update to Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 ("Woody" ) has arrived. 3.0 (r5) "mainly adds security updates to the stable release, along with a few corrections to serious problems." Also, four packages were removed, three for license violations.

      Btw, Gadu gadu is a polish messenger.

      Ah, now that makes sense. I've heard a lot of people say that Debian lacks polish.

    Has anyone else seriously considered sexual reassignment surgery. As a fellow pre-op transexual, I would like to hear your thoughts.

    OpenOffice 2.0????? Isn't it in beta still?

    Yes, but Firefox 1.0 is positively outdated. So it averages out okay.

    Perhaps because Debian's flag only has 13 stars.

    Websters Dictionary: "Debian" Once a Mainstay in linux distributions and somewhat innovative in package mangagement with "apt get" it fell into
    stagnation no doubt helped in part by it's so called "Debian Social Contract" and painfully slow release schedule. In later days it was surpassed by other more up to date distributions with other package systems with more flexibility and power.Debian R.I.P

    Did anyone else notice the "My Computer" icon? Eww

    Yeah, but the icon is a picture of Tux in front of an iMac, so that evens it out.
