Version 2.5: What's next for Linux

he Linux community may be eagerly awaiting the final release of the 2.4 kernel, but it is already putting together a wish list for the next major development kernel--version 2.5.

Phat Linux v3.3 released

Phat Linux aims to provide an easy to install Linux distribution. The distribution has a Windows based install. You no longer need to repartition your hard drive to make room for Linux because Phat Linux will run off of your Windows 95/98 C-Drive!

GPL'd code finds new home

"Someone at DSF Internet took a shortcut to developing their own interoperable instant messenger client, and ported the Everybuddy code instead of starting from scratch. This isn't a bad thing - it's the whole purpose of open source, duh - but since the code was licensed under the GPL, a price was demanded in return: the Windows source code should be made available. It wasn't, of course."

Linux 2.4 kernel draws closer

The prerelease allows interested parties to examine and test what is essentially the final version of the code for the 2.4 kernel. Unless these testers find significant bugs or problems, Torvalds is expected to release the final code shortly thereafter.

Argument over quality of Red Hat 7.0

This was the now-famous thread in which Linus Torvalds said: "Quite frankly, anybody who uses RedHat 7.0 and their broken compiler for _anything_ is going to have trouble."

Netcraft December 2000 survey is out

"On a crude count of Linux Apache sites found by Netcraft where the Apache signature has been branded by the Linux distribution company, Red Hat currently has 69%. SUSE and Debian are the closest challengers with 9% and 8% respectively on a worldwide basis, though SUSE is the leading distribution in German speaking countries."

Happy new year^H^H^H^Hkernel..

"Ok. I didn't make 2.4.0 in 2000. Tough. I tried, but we had some last-minute stuff that needed fixing (ie the dirty page lists etc), and the best I can do is make a prerelease."

Open source development gains ground

With vendors working to enhance performance, add new features, and fix bugs, analysts said that open-source databases are inching their way up to the level of proprietary databases in terms of features and functionality, albeit slowly.
