DoudouLinux 2.0 "Hyperborea" released Version 2.0 of the DoudouLinux educational distribution is out. " But
DoudouLinux is not just a CD/DVD of educative stuffs for children.
DoudouLinux is now a vast project on its own. We have published with
version 2.0 a manifesto
that defines the philosophy and the ethics of
our project: we want our children be able to fully master the digital world
they are going to live in, instead of undergoing it. As a result we now
feel very concerned about user privacy, especially when it comes to
children." LWN looked at

The 3.10 kernel is out Linus has released the 3.10 kernel. " In the bigger picture (ie since 3.9) this release has been pretty
typical and not particularly prone to problems, despite my waffling about
the exact release date. As usual, the bulk patch-wise is all drivers
(pretty much exactly two thirds), while the rest is evenly split between
arch updates and 'misc'. No major new subsystems this time around, although
there are individual new features." Some of those new features include a number of Ftrace enhancements, the memory pressure notification mechanism, tickless operation, ARM multi-cluster power management support (part of the big.LITTLE solution), the bcacheblock caching layer, and much more. See the (still in-construction) KernelNewbies 3.10 page for lots of details. |
