Arca Noae ☛ Considering new hardware for ArcaOS?
If you are thinking about a new computer, you may be wondering if a new system will run ArcaOS. Most modern hardware will run ArcaOS just fine. But if you want to know more, Arca Noae has some resources to help.
We have a wiki page with quick information about Choosing a System for ArcaOS. We also have a list of a few systems that we have tested on our Tested Hardware page. Don’t be discouraged if the system you are considering is not on the list of tested hardware; we can’t test everything, and new systems are being released all the time. Additionally, you might want to try looking at some of the information available in the OS/2 World wiki (note: Arca Noae is not affiliated with OS/2 World).

FreeBSD ☛ FreeBSD Status Report Third Quarter 2024 | The FreeBSD Project
Here is the third 2024 status report, with 32 entries.
Unfortunately we are late this quarter, just like last quarter. As our readers know, many FreeBSD contributors are volunteers, so it is natural that less important deadlines like the status reports ones are not always met. Indeed, if you are not a FreeBSD contributor yet, please consider joining us: you could help lighten someone’s burden while learning new skills, working side by side with developers all over the world.

Peter Czanik: Call for testing: syslog-ng in openSUSE Leap 16.0
Last week, I submitted syslog-ng to openSUSE Leap 16.0. While the distro is still in a pre-alpha stage, everything already works for me as expected. Well, except for syslog-ng, where I found a number of smaller problems.

Debian ☛ Bits from Debian: Bits from the DPL
Dear Debian community,
this is Bits from DPL for October. In addition to a summary of my recent activities, I aim to include newsworthy developments within Debian that might be of interest to the broader community. I believe this provides valuable insights and foster a sense of connection across our diverse projects. Also, I welcome your feedback on the format and focus of these Bits, as community input helps shape their value.
Ada Lovelace Day 2024
As outlined in my platform, I'm committed to increasing the diversity of Debian developers. I hope the recent article celebrating Ada Lovelace Day 2024–featuring interviews with women in Debian–will serve as an inspiring motivation for more women to join our community.
