TriedIT - Software and Hardware News and Reviews

Two new pre-release versions of popular Linux distributions have come out. openSUSE 10.3 Alpha 1 contains some significant changes from 10.2 including an updated kernel, KDE 3.5.6 and the entire OS being compiled with stack overflow protection to help guard against buffer overflows. Feisty Fawn Herd 4 is now available at the Ubuntu download site. The main features of Feisty Fawn over Edgy are improved hardware support, updated GNOME, a migration assistant, easy installation of multimedia codecs, better support for virtualization software in the kernel, and an improved Help Center.

I plan on reviewing the final releases of these two Linux distributions when they arrive.
