It appears that the recent crisis of existence over at Gentoo has resulted in a reinvigoration of the project. LinuxCrazy has interviewed Roy Bamford, the recently elected Gentoo Foundation president, on the current state of Gentoo.
In related developments, Gentoo has released a second beta of Gentoo 2008.0 for testing (the last release was almost a year ago, in May), so it appears that things are progressing with the traditional Gentoo rapidity. Huzzah!
Wow, it’s been a long time since my last post! I’ve been too busy to sit down and organize my thoughts into any coherent blog posts, but I think this one is worth my effort.
The problem: I can’t test the next Kubuntu release. The work I’m doing on my PC right now is too important to risk a few days downtime, and a recent drive controller problem meant a near total rebuild of my data, resulting in lost time. Had I not experienced the controller failure I might have tested the new Kubuntu, but alas, I didn’t get a vote in the controller’s decision to lose its little mind.
Here’s where you come in. You can help out the Kubuntu project by testing Kubuntu this week. Next week is the final release of Kubuntu 8.04, which is available in both KDE 3.5 and KDE 4.0 versions. A call has gone out for help in testing the Release Candidates. If you have some spare time and a PC you don’t mind using for testing, please help out the Kubuntu project in my stead.
P.S. — There’s also a request for help in Ubuntu RC testing, if you prefer Ubuntu.
