This past week I decided to pick a couple of projects at random from the DistroWatch waiting list to see what new, different, or interesting distributions are being developed.
Plus, in our News section, we talk about Fedora providing a compatibility layer for older SDL-based games and OpenBSD's migration from the GNU Compiler Collection to Clang. We also talk about the snakeware operating system which uses the Python interpreter as its user interface. First though we explore a few less conventional projects, including the Debian-based TeLOS distribution which runs the KDE Plasma desktop and promotes web-based solutions. Do you run any home-based network services? Let us know about them in this week's Opinion Poll.
#Add privileges to server in hostbuddy software#
In our Questions and Answers section this week we talk about using open source technologies to set up home-based chat room software to keep a family connected. Other times the flexibility of open source might take us in unusual and less practical, though certainly interesting, directions. Sometimes these tasks may be especially useful, such as providing the ability to run many network services on a tiny Raspberry Pi computer. Open source operating systems offer a lot of flexibility which makes them well suited to a wide range of tasks. Welcome to this year's 20th issue of DistroWatch Weekly!
