Distro release cycle
by Priyanka Sarkar 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

Dear All, We thought of coming up a good story on the distro release time span. Our question is 'With many distros going for a six-monthly release cycle, do you think the release cycles of distros are too short? (And users don't have to upgrade on a frequent basis?) ' What do you think on this? Would really appreciate if you share your views elaborately. Regards, Priyanka

by Rony 03 Sep '13

Hello, I am looking for a locally available and not too expensive workstation motherboard to be used for file sharing running Debian OS for a small organisation. The graphics part is not important but need good SATA, USB3.0 and Gigabit LAN support. I was looking at this one but I feel its more for graphics which I do not need at all. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77V_PROTHUNDERBOLT/ Any other suggestions? -- Regards, Rony. http://ronybill.blogspot.com/
