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.

    Great another Gentoo zealot showing us Gentoo commands.

    Survey says?!? BZZZZT
    I am, buy far and large, NOT a "Gentoo zealot". It just happens to be the distro of MY choice. I usually reccomend MDK or SuSE to people.

    it's really freaking easy to run "apt-get install MPlayer"?

    Can't the same be said for
    1. urpmi mplayer
    2. emerge xine-ui
    3. apt-get install xine

    etc.....
