| New Survey: Which Desktop Do You Use? |
|
With KDE 3.2 out and GNOME 2.6 on the way, it seemed like a good time to ask. The new survey is in the right column. Results from the old 2.6 kernel survey are in the survey archive; about half of you are still waiting for your distribution to ship it.

| Linux 2.6.4 Released |
 kernel_tinkerer writes "Linux 2.6.4 is out. Like 2.6.3 it is a consolidation release, but a large one: the changelog runs to several hundred entries, with updated ALSA sound drivers, NFS and XFS fixes, USB and input work, and a long list of network driver updates."

| Sarge Freeze Talk Heats Up Again |
 deb_hacker writes "There is fresh discussion on debian-devel about when Sarge might freeze. The new debian-installer and the transition to newer toolchains are the main things still in the way, and nobody wants to put a date on it."

| GNOME 2.6 Slated for Late March |
 gnomeuser2k writes "The GNOME release team says GNOME 2.6 is on track for the end of March. The headline changes are the new GTK+ 2.4 file chooser, which finally replaces the old file selection dialog, and a spatial Nautilus, which opens every folder in its own window and remembers where you left it."

| Fedora Core 1, Four Months On |
 penguinista writes "I put Fedora Core 1 on my home and work machines in November and thought readers might want a report from the trenches. Short version: it is Red Hat 9 with newer packages, yum works well, and the community repositories fill in the MP3 and DVD gaps."

| XFree86 4.4.0 Ships Under New License |
 kernel_tinkerer writes "XFree86 4.4.0 is out, and the release notes are getting less attention than the license. The project has moved to the XFree86 License 1.1, which adds a credit clause that the FSF says is incompatible with the GPL. Debian, Red Hat, Mandrake and Gentoo have all said they will not ship 4.4.0 under these terms."

| Linux 2.6.3 Released |
|
Linus has released Linux 2.6.3. This one is mostly fixes: networking and filesystem cleanups, updated drivers for a good number of network cards and SCSI controllers, and the usual round of architecture updates. Marcelo also put out 2.4.25 the same day for those staying on the stable series.
