Their web site is attractive and easy to navigate. Trisquel GNU/Linux, I think, stands out in the otherwise tame GNU-endorsed herd. So while I appreciate the ideology, making a more-free Fedora or Ubuntu sounds a bit like comparing vanilla ice cream with extra vanilla.

As a result, a group of prominent companies announced last week a fork of Oracle's and the creation of LibreOffice.

Welcome to this year's 40th issue of DistroWatch Weekly! Following Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems, the well-known database company has ended up with a rather large number of important open-source software projects.
