The April release of Ubuntu 10.04 will be the third long term support release.

New cdbuilder server improves Debian infrastructure
Today, the Debian project administrators are activating a new cdbuilder server. The server computes the official Debian ISO images once all software packages are ready for a new Debian release. While the old system needed 20 hours to build the ISOs, the new server needs less than two hours for the same job.
Debian users download ISO images and burn them on CD or DVD to create their Debian installation media. Building ISO images in a fast way is a critical task for every Debian release. Once all the packages are ready, everyone is waiting for the new ISO images to become available. With over 25.000 packages for twelve computer architectures this is a very challenging task.
says Steve McIntyre, Debian Project Leader.

CentOS 5.3 – Serious Linux for serious people
CentOS is not your everyday Linux. It's a server distribution, meant to be used in production environment where users do not care about what applications they have installed. It's a distro that you will most likely run without any GUI, reboot once every other year or so, if that, and upgrade only when you really must, since the inclusion of even simplest binaries could be dreadfully risky for your setup.

cPanel/WHM 11.25 EDGE Now Available
cPanel/WHM is published in four builds:
- EDGE - The latest build, with the newest features and least testing. We do not recommend running this build on a production web server.
- CURRENT - More mature and tested than EDGE.
- RELEASE - The preferred build for a production server, as it is generally current enough to contain the latest fixes and new features.
- STABLE - For conservative web hosts who do not wish to run the latest release.

Components of a Successful Website
A website is basically a bunch of html pages and images linked together. These sit on a hosting server which is basically a computer which can be accessed over the internet through a domain name (e.g. www.tikier.com).
However, to be successful a website must get many vistors. This is possible if the site comes up in the top search results of search engines like Google when a potential visitor types in keywords related to the website's content. To get this end result sites need to be built, content needs to be written and website promotion needs to be done keeping the search engines in mind.
