It's free, our new little beastie is out and about - openSUSE 11.0 has been released.

Get yourself some openSUSE 11.0 goodness:

  1. Download openSUSE 11.0. I prefer the GNOME install, other people go for KDE. Since they're both live CDs, you can try them each out and see which you prefer if you're new to the Linux world.
  2. Once it's installed, get yourself over to openSUSE-Community.org and use the 1-click collection to beef-up your install. Get those multimedia codecs you're going to need to watch DVDs and listen to MP3s, if you have an ATI or NVIDIA graphics card, get the 3D drivers for them.
  3. Enjoy.

Around five hours to go until the official launch but...

First up will be weasel my semi-sacrificial/semi-backup desktop machine.

Torrents are also available if you're a torrent kind of person.

This time it's the turn of Dario "Scarf Boy" Minieri to take the gold and the cash. He won the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed event. The relatively easy final table that beckon Minieri as a huge chip leader didn't fully ensue but he won out in the end thanks to a bit of luck and his trademark aggression.

2008 really is proving to be the year of the pros - keep up with the latest WSOP updates.
