#Microsoft takes stand on 'virtual' licensing
The software giant revamps its software licensing to tackle
"virtualization" technology, which could shake up the industry.
#I've just tried the latest Arc Linux and, as a home user, it works very
well. It's my first look at KDE 3.5 as well. A bonus is some unique and
beautiful wallpapers and Baghira, the Mac-like interface, as one of the
alternative styles.
#OpenLab GNU/Linux is a South African distribution based on Slackware
Linux, designed primarily for deployment in schools throughout the
region. The project's latest release, version 4.0, was announced. It's a
relatively easy way to put Slackware on your computer. It's also
brightly-brightly colored, in the African tradition, quite pretty.

release engineering team is proud to announce the availability of
FreeBSD 6.0. We encourage everyone to help with testing so any final

and will be fixed before the release: a late change in the aac(4) driver
may result in the driver failing on some Dell systems; some systems with
only USB keyboards might loose keyboard input; some laptops with certain
IDE controllers may crash on bootup; the QEMU and VMWare packages are
known to expose problems in the IDE CDROM driver during OS install...."
