Novell News Summary - Part I: Very Idle Week for the OpenSUSE Project

Gone swimming
Spring is in the air



Summary: Few bits and pieces from the OpenSUSE universe

It has been an exceptionally quiet week for the OpenSUSE project. This can be summarised with one amateur review and another which mentions an experience with OpenSUSE 11.1.

OpenSUSE



[..]

So, if you have an old PC and want to bring it up to date, quickly, inexpensively (free) then it’s time to look at Linux, particularly these two distros. Pop in the CD, reboot and let the installer do its magic. When it’s all done, spend a bit of time exploring. Soon you’ll find things are familiar. Bravo to Novell and Ubunto for these fine distributions!


 

[O]ther the last weekend I’ve been able to try out a new Linux distribution, opensuse 11.1. I thought I’d try it out as after starting up my laptop saturday morning I had a sudden partition not found error. So after downloading and going through the LiveCD installation process which is great & easy to use like Ubuntu’s or the many others out there everything was setup. I copied over the files from backups and was all set (or so I thought).


There were some OpenSUSE HOWTOs posted, especially in SUSE-oriented sites and there is more at ZDnet where Zonker speaks about his experiences as community manager for OpenSUSE in some recent conferences. Other than that, the best bet for news is the OpenSUSE Wiki.

In this Week:

* Update on iFolder * openSUSE Weekly News @ RadioTux.de * People of openSUSE is back * OpenSource meet Business * My GIMP Tutorial and Resource


Following the release of SLED and SLES 11, there was a little more news from that side of the project (product).
