Upcoming Linux Events



Hi everybody!

(Please no flames!  I don't express here any opinion, and I don't
say anything positive or negative about anything here, but only
what is going to happen; Decide yourself what is the good, what is
the bad, and what is the ugly).

Rumors and expected events:
==========================

SuSE 6.1 to be released tomorrow. The international version will be
reeased on May 3.

Caldera 2.2 to begin shipping this week.

VMware Build 110 (the release candidate, with major modifications)
to be released on Friday. According to rumors, they re-think their
pricing. I hope VMware will meet their ambitious plan to release
the final release on mid May. Meanwhile, development of Wine slows,
according to rumors.

The official release of Qt 2.0 is expected very soon.

RedHat is in hurry to finish last tests and fixes of 6.0. Expect an
official release in a few weeks (but before LinuxExpo on May 18).
GNOME is stabilized very quickly and will be probably the default
environment (together with Enlightenment-DR0.15.5). I  would guess
that they plan to release 6.0 somewhere around April 26 - May 5,
the dates of their "Geek World" contest. Guess why there will be
SIX winners and not 5 or 7 ?  Do you want a hint?  I would say that
the number of winners will be 6.0  :-)

According to rumors, RedHat sponsors the port of KDE-1.1 to Qt 2.0
(!!!) and its integration into RedHat-6.0, so KDE will be offered
as an alternative desktop environment (although GNOME will be the
default).

In Israel:
