+ Frugalware Linux Newsletter - Issue 60
+
+ ...to inform...to educate...to entertain
+
+ "The only people who have anything to fear from free software are those
+ whose products are worth even less." David Emery
+
+ Welcome
+
+ The newsletter's aim is to keep you up to date with what's happened
+ recently in the world of the Frugalware Linux distribution.
+
+ Features of this issue include:
+
+
+Frugalware 1.3's code-name is announced
+
+New FrugalBuild contributors
+
+Forums are back!
+
+Frugalware's users are people too! - Mickael Brangeon

+FLOSS developers are people too! - Mitchell Foral

+
+ Here's a selection of events which have occurred since the previous
+ newsletter:
+
+ Frugalware 1.3's code-name is announced
+
+ On 17 March 2010, VMiklos announced the codename for the next Frugalware
+ release, 1.3 - "Haven". For those that don't already know, all code-names are
+ from a series of fictional planets which feature in Isaac Asimov's
+ "Foundation" series of science fiction novels.
+
+ Plans for "Haven" haven't yet been finalised but as anyone who subscribes
+ to the git commits mailing list will know, there has already been a lot of
+ activity since 1.2 was released. The biggest change so far has been a kernel
+ upgrade to 2.6.33. This kernel introduces the "nouveau" driver, which is an
+ open source driver for Nvidia graphics chipsets. The implementation of this
+ change has caused issues for some Nvidia users so please
+ read http://frugalware.org/news/165";>this message from
+ Frugalware developer Hermier before upgrading to the latest kernel.
+
+ New FrugalBuild contributors
+
+ Frugalware users Adrien Ramos and kikadf recently submitted several
+ FrugalBuilds for new packages. Each of these is either undergoing review or
+ has been accepted. Many thanks to these two and we hope they have a bright
+ future in packaging.
+
+ Forums are back!
+
+ Several weeks ago, the server which hosted the Frugalware forums had a
+ hard drive fail. Unfortunately the hard drive was not part of a RAID array,
+ so the problem could only be solved by replacing the failed drive and
+ restoring the forums' data from backup (which are done regularly). Thanks to
+ VMiklos and any others involved, the forums were back online on 12 March
+ 2010. The server's hard drive configuration has since been upgraded to a RAID
+ array, so the chance of the same problem happening again is very low.
+
+ New screenshots for 1.2
+
+ Frugalware user bviktor recently submitted some screenshots of Locris'
+ installer and GUI desktop, so that the web site could be current. Frugalware
+ developer Devil505 then added captions and uploaded them to the http://frugalware.org/screenshots";>screenshots page. Many thanks to
+ bviktor for submitting the screenshots. If you ever find something on the web
+ site which is not current, or is simply wrong, please report it via a bug
+ report and we will fix it as soon aras we can.
+
+ New mirror
+
+ Thanks to the generosity of the University of Crete, we have a new mirror.
