Fedora 19 Alpha…

For those eager beavers out there, you can now get hold of Fedora 19 Alpha from the pre-release location.

The release notes can be found here. I’m keen to check out the improvements to MATE in version 1.6, as this is now my standard desktop.

Cheers

Update: It installs in Oracle VirtualBox and the guest additions install correctly, so it’s looking good so far. 🙂

Fedora 17 Alpha…

I’ve just tried the alpha of Fedora 17 to see if the GNOME 3 software rendering works and it did. You may recall, since updating my graphics card I’ve been forced to use the fallback mode on Fedora 16. I’m quite keen to move back to proper GNOME 3, which looks like it will be possible when F17 is released.

On a VM it seems a little on the slow side, so I hope this isn’t an indication that it will be annoying on my desktop. I guess time will tell. Fingers crossed though.

Hallelujah…

OK. It’s been a long wait, but 10g Release 2 is now available for Tru64. There is still no sign of the 10.1.0.4 or 10.1.0.5 patches, but you can’t have everything. Of course, the big issue now is, how can I persuade the company to go for a migration???
This is definitely the last release for Tru64, so we’ve got to move to it, but who knows when?

Cheers
