New server, new wiki

Some nice infrastructure news on the Gobo camp:

• The gobolinux.org website is now hosted at a new server, with improved storage and bandwidth. We did our best to make the transition go smoothly.
• You may have noticed some downtime in our wiki: we had problems with our wiki installation, but things turned for the best in the end. Thanks to the efforts of Nick Matteo, Dan Charney and Jonas Karlsson who worked hard to bring the wiki back to life, the wiki is now better than ever.

GoboLinux 012 reviewed at Linux.com

Linux.com published a nice review of GoboLinux, based on version 012.

"One major problem with the Linux world is the overwhelming number of redundant distributions, especially in the desktop-oriented area. It's rare to see a new distribution that isn't a Debian or Red Hat clone in disguise with an extra feature or two, or that dares to take a bold departure from the status quo. One of those rarities, however, is GoboLinux."

"I was impressed by the way GoboLinux handled. This distribution clearly has a well-defined identity of its own, and the authors' philosophy shows in every detail of the system. The system is fast, without a grain of bloat in it."

This review was also reported at OSNews.com.

GoboLinux Documentation Project 1-Week Drive

During this week, GoboLinux users and developers are joining forces at the wiki in a week-long effort to completely review, improve and consolidate our documentation. Most of the work involves re-organizing the existing docs in a more useable way. The result should be a new version of the docs, which will go online in the Documentation section website. After that, the wiki will continue as the "development branch" of the docs. Everyone can help, join us at the wiki!
