Linux/FOSS news:
For those of you that use Ubuntu or any of its approved flavors,
15.04 has reached its End of Life on 4 February. The LTS release 16.04
is due out on 21 April. The alpha 2 releases for 16.04 which is Xenial
Xerus including the Lubuntu, Mate, and Kylin versions were on 29 January
2016.
Catfish 1.3.4 was released on 31 January 2016. It can be downloaded
from Launchpad. The latest stable release is still 1.2.2. Now you can
download the latest stable release, the development release, and the
daily release at
https://smdavis.us/2016/01/31/catfish-1-3-4-released-new-ppa/. You can
install all three and easily switch between them.
There is now a Ubuntu flavors download page.
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours. Apparently, people
couldn't find their favorite flavor so Canonical has made it easy for
them by creating a page where they can go to to find the version that
they want to download. Ubuntu of course has its own site.
