GParted Live is a live distribution with a single purpose - to provide tools for partitioning hard disks in an intuitive, graphical environment. The distribution uses X.Org, the light-weight Fluxbox window manager, and the latest 4.x Linux kernel. GParted Live runs on most x86 machines with a Pentium II or better.

Michał Górny describes the challenges involved in transitioning Gentoo to year-2038-safe time representations:

There is a general agreement that the way forward is to change time_t to a 64-bit type. Musl has already switched to that, glibc supports it as an option. A number of other distributions such as Debian have taken the leap and switched. Unfortunately, source-based distributions such as Gentoo don't have it that easy. So we are still debating the issue and experimenting, trying to figure out a maximally safe upgrade path for our users.

Unfortunately, that's nowhere near trivial. Above all, we are talking about a breaking ABI change.

In the wake of the XZ backdoor, the Debian project has revisited some of the patches included in its OpenSSH packages to improve security. The outcome of this is that the project will be splitting out support for Kerberos key exchange into a separate set of packages, though not until after the Debian 13 ("trixie") release expected next year. The impact on Debian users should be minimal, but it is an interesting look into the changes Linux distributions make to upstream software as well as some of the long-term consequences of those choices.
