I did something I haven’t done in awhile; I just threw the word “Linux” into news.google.com to see what would come up. These looked interesting.
RHEL 5 Due before March 2007: Looks like the next Red Hat Linux, based on a 2.6.18 kernel and including Xen virtualization (ability to run multiple operating systems) is due before March. The article also points out, correctly it would seem, that recent potential threats from Novell and Oracle have not seemed to materialize any significant dent to Red Hat’s business.
Linux In 2007, in general: Internet News has what looks like a high level overview of what we’re looking forward to in the Linux world next year, including mentions of the new GPL, the hopeful end of the SCO fiasco, new kernels, new distros, and a non-statement about the effects Vista will (or won’t) have on Linux adoption next year. (For the impatient, they suppose that Vista’s effect on Linux adoption may not be apparent until at least 2008… they could be right about that. It sounds good, anyways.)
And some guy says he’s put Linux on a Zune. Only reason I’ve heard so far to get one; if this is perfected, I may just get one of the many that are sure to be available on ebay for about $10 bucks in the near future.
