Plus this week we thank the people who have donated to us over the past month, we appreciate you helping us to keep DistroWatch running. Joshua Allen Holm takes siduction for a test drive and shares his impressions of the fast-moving distribution in our Feature Story. First though we share a review of siduction, a Debian-based rolling release distribution. There were a few missing editions this time and we touch on that below. Speaking of new releases, Canonical published refreshed media for Ubuntu and its community editions this last week.

We also report on some key new features coming to the latest release of the GNOME desktop. We discuss an instance of these trust issues as it relates to the Linux kernel in our News section. What approach works best for you? It is difficult to discuss untrusted software without also talking about where it comes from, who makes it, and by whom the software is trusted. Our Opinion Poll this week continues the discussion, asking you, our readers, how you protect yourself against untrusted software. We discuss a handful of options for protecting a user from their own software below.

There are several methods by which we can isolate programs to keep them from misbehaving, damaging our system, or transmitting information about us. This week we discuss how to isolate untrusted or potentially vulnerable applications in our Questions and Answers column. Someone out there is always hoping to gain access to our computers in order to make money, cause havoc, or invade our privacy.

One side-effect of having a world of globally interconnected computers, people, and software is our equipment and our data are constantly under threat. Welcome to this year's 13th issue of DistroWatch Weekly!
