A Quantum Leap.

Since 2001, Mac OS X has delivered more than a thousand innovative new features. With Snow Leopard, the next major version of the world’s most advanced operating system, Mac OS X changes more than its spots, it changes focus. Taking a break from adding new features, Snow Leopard — scheduled to ship in about a year — builds on Leopard’s enormous innovations by delivering a new generation of core software technologies that will streamline Mac OS X, enhance its performance, and set new standards for quality. Snow Leopard dramatically reduces the footprint of Mac OS X, making it even more efficient for users, and giving them back valuable hard drive space for their music and photos.

Download, burn, boot, and launch.
From dorm room to boardroom. OpenSolaris has everything you need to take your brilliant idea, build a prototype, test it, deploy it, and run it on production servers—out of a loft, or across your enterprise. And when your app goes viral, you won’t have to throw hardware at the problem, or switch to a different OS. OpenSolaris is industrial strength and built to scale from the get go.

The Live CD makes it simple to boot to a fully functional desktop environment, including Firefox and Thunderbird. Try it without fear — our instant rollback feature works like a giant undo button, so your system is always protected, and you’ll never lose work. And, you can load OpenSolaris 2008.05 easily in a variety of virtualization technologies including the open source VirtualBox hypervisor.

Like Ubuntu 8.04, Fedora 9 includes the latest updates to the KDE and GNOME desktop environments, PulseAudio, and Firefox 3 beta. But unlike Ubuntu, the Fedora 9 LiveDVD weighs in at a hefty 3.33GB. Ubuntu distros typically fit on a single CD.

Fedora 9 also has several other major improvements, including:

• Experimental support for the Ext4 file system
• Spins, which are different versions of Fedora built with specific groups of software
• You can now download installation media using Jigdo
• Gnome 2.22, KDE 4.0.3 and Xfce 4.4.2 available on the LiveDVD
• Anaconda installer now supports resizing ext2, ext3, and NTFS file systems a well as creating and installing the OS to encrypted file systems
• Live USB installer now supports persistence, so you can run Fedora 9 from a USB flash drive and save your changes
• OpenJDK 6, an open source Java enironment is installed by default

Fedora 9 also comes with OpenOffice.org 2.4 and Firefox 3 beta 5.

What happens when Linux is set to January 19, 2038 at 3:14am?

On January 19, 2038, UNIX-based programs and UNIX-like operating systems will run out of time. To be more precise, at 3:14:07 GMT, UNIX will be exactly 1 billion seconds old. Many see this as a milestone, but from a technical point of view, this can mean disaster for computer programs and systems around the world.
