Specifically, get Firefox 3.0 from 18:00 BST today (that's 17:00 GMT).

Read about the launch on BBC News.

In light of the imminent release of openSUSE 11.0 (in case you hadn't heard already) and with it, the corresponding Updates repository, I've changed the three main GNOME repositories (STABLE/UNSTABLE/Community) to use the Update repository as their target for each product. Since it's a good idea to keep one's system up to date with official patches and what-not, this makes sense for 99.99% of users.

Only just noticed the news of the latest Meeks to enter the world. Many congratulations to Michael, "J" and the rest of the clan. I pray that God will give you the strength to be a rich blessing to Elizabeth as she grows up.

[openSUSE 11.0 is coming soon!]

The online repository for openSUSE 11.0 is now available so there are a few ways you can get hold of the goodness:

  • Firstly, if you've been using the betas and then the release candidates, simply change your various repositories to point at the 11.0 final versions. Do the same for any Build Service repositories you have. Then do an online update.
  • Secondly, if you've not been using the pre-release versions and are a bit hardcore, you can create a boot CD for an online install. Make sure you use the directory for your architecture and that you read the README.
  • Alternatively, you can wait a couple of days for the official release and download the media then.
When the official release happens, I'll be installing from the GNOME CD on my 32bit and Amanda's 64bit laptops and will post details of my "perfect" openSUSE 11.0 install, with shots of the install in progress and details of the additional repositories I use to make my systems really kick ass.
