Yuan Meng: debut of the third-generation Linux release

Today, there are many Linux distributions. This year, the third-generation Linux release was unveiled, causing discussion in the IT industry. Why?

There are many standards to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the Linux release. However, is a Linux release good?CommunitySupport should be the primary consideration. Other factors include commercial support, software pattern, update engine, and release frequency. No matter who ranks such a large number of Linux distributions, it will always cause criticism. In October 12 this year, daniweb proposed an annual ranking scheme (see the article "the 10 best Linux distributions of 2009 ). As we all know, daniweb is a very large international IT discussion community (with 0.63 million IT professionals involved). at ordinary times, there are thousands of people discussing it issues online. The voice of this community is representative.

This year, daniweb ranked first in the Linux release named "gnewsense", while Debian and Ubuntu ranked second and third respectively, making it strange. In reality, gnewsense is a derivative of ubuntu, while Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian. The first generation is better than the second generation. No wonder FSF has recently supported the gnewsense release! In September 14 this year, the latest version of gnewsense 2.3 was just released, triggering a "wow" voice in the global IT Industry ("wow ). Why? In fact, gnewsense is almost Ubuntu, just removing the Ubuntu logo (and all private software elements. Gnewsense aims to build a modern, complete, and pure Linux release for people to use and spread freely. This move is about to put some people in the industry mad or even anxious!

Note that gnewsense is pronounced Guh-New-sense with the accent on new. the letter "G" indicates GNU. Gnewsense stands for GNU's new sense ). The emergence of gnewsense (and rapidly gaining popularity) demonstrates the objective fact that there are a group of grassroots people in the global IT industry who are ideally motivated by money and seeing others (such as Microsoft) if you get lucky, you will always pursue the dream of free software. I know that this evening is a sleepless night in Ubuntu lab, where it is difficult to customize the culture in gnersense. I wish them good luck. God bless them!

Note: Please log on to www.gnewsense.org and read the FAQ file carefully. It is not difficult to find out why gnewsense is required. I suggest the Shenzhen ubento company develop and customize a single function USB flash drive based on the gnewsense release. All the software contained in this self-starting USB flash drive must be free software for free use and broadcast freely without the permission of anyone. Some people say that there is no technical innovation in free software? None. The new version gnewsense (self-boot USB flash drive) based on Ubuntu 9.10 makes your eyes bright and calls it "wow "! Its startup speed is almost incomparable. In addition, we need to note that once you enter the gnewsense community forum, you should be very careful when using words. Never open your mouth or say "open source", but shut up is also "Open Source ", that is to make people laugh at you. The gnewsense community is a real GNU/Linux World, and members of the community are all dead-hard elements of GNU/Linux. It is a wonderful world, with five years of Hedong and five years of Hexi. If you are not careful, you will be left behind.
