The Debian Project is the fourth update of the stable branch of Debian 6.0 Squeeze. As usual, the update is presented in the main vulnerabilities, along with the elimination of some serious problems.

Among developers Fedora distribution discussion broke out on the distribution of transition “sliding” model updates, similar to that used in the distributions Arch, Gentoo, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
It is worth noting that at present there is a special Fedora repository for “moving” updates – Rawhide. But, according to developers, to always use this repository is almost unusable, as falling within a package are often unstable, and upgrade of critical components (such as kernel and system libraries) from Rawhide can simply bring the system inoperable and sometimes lead loss of data .

The kernel developer Matthew Garrett has illuminated in a new article discusses various implications of “Secure UEFI boot,” which could be a problem for Linux.

Technically, the implementation of “Secure UEFI boot” no problem. Garrett had this in previous articles stated , after he had dealt extensively with the specification. His findings led to a joint White Paper by Canonical and Red Hat to “the facts of the Secure Boot” in UEFI firmware compiles and asks the manufacturer to provide an easy way to turn on and off the safety function.

An event on the outskirts of this year’s linux.conf.au now expressed some core Samba developer roadmap for the next time.

One of the main objectives of the parallel with the previous three newly developed Samba Samba 4 was the implementation of a full Active Directory controller. This component should work fine now, said Andrew Bartlett, who has it together with Andrew “Tridge” Tridgell worked. Samba 3, which only supports the old NT 4 domain model can only be a member of an Active Directory, it took until now for the controller necessarily a Windows server.

With a few days delay, because of the holidays, Linus Torvalds released the Linux kernel 3.2. One of the innovations are extensions in the Ext filesystem fourth

Know how Ext4 developer Ted Ts’o was already at the LinuxCon Europe, is characterized by the feature Bigalloc guarantees that Ext 4 in many jobs do not come into swapping by Ext up with 4 instead of block sizes from 4 Kbytes to so-called cluster sizes 1 MB uses. This fall a few entries in the bitmap, making it easier to fit into memory. Since the bitmaps are also frequently called upon, they will remain in memory, which ensures low latency. The newly added extensions are not backwards compatible.

English student James Molloy published in his blog, step by step guide to creating operating systems for x86 processors. This operating system has all the essential parts of modern operating systems such as virtual memory, VFS, multitasking, and others. This manual consists of fragments of source code (in C and Assembler) and a detailed explanation of how it works, as well as technical data on the processor, a description of some of the registers, etc.

The Linux distribution Linux Mint has started a fork of Gnome Shell under the name Cinnamon. Cinnamon is to preserve the look of Gnome 2, but not to prevent new developments.

The Gnome-Shell was undoubtedly the most controversial part of Gnome 3, which in March 2011 appeared was. Many experienced users exerted massive criticism of the awkwardness of the operation, including Linux initiator Linus Torvalds , who, like some other kernel developers to Xfce desktop was changed or another. With the release of Gnome 3.2 However, the criticism was much softer. The community had become self-help and numerous extensions developed for the Gnome shell, including those that optimize the operation, or restore the old behavior of Gnome 2 again. Since early December also approved extensions are officially offered by Gnome.
