New operating system releases!
9 November 2007
This is just amazing: did everybody coordinate this? Within the last three weeks or so, we’ve seen these releases come out:
- Ubunutu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon (and Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, et al)
- OpenBSD 4.2
- Fedora 8
- Red Hat Enterprise 5.1
- OpenVMS 8.3-1H1
- FreeBSD 7 Beta 2
- FreeBSD 6.3 Beta 1
- OpenSUSE 10.3
- Macintosh OS X 10.5
- NetBSD 4.0 RC3
- AIX 6.1
Several of these were released on the same day, November 1.
What next? Am I really supposed to choose just one? Sigh. And I just installed OpenBSD 4.1 and Fedora 7, too - not to mention installing FreeBSD 6.2 not too long ago.
From all the talk, I’ll have to try Kubuntu again. So many systems, so little time.
I have been using OpenSUSE 10.3 (with KDE). I just love it - and I love the new menu format, too.
Update: Sigh. I should have known. Microsoft Windows Vista celebrated its 1st Anniversary on Nov. 8.
