Planet SUSE thoughts
So just reading through Planet SUSE while waiting for my mail to download[1], and a couple of thoughts… Would be great if openSUSE.org had an RSS feed of latest changes We’re moving more towards SUSE staffers, which is great, and something I’d wanted from the outset, and would like to see more of — email …

Another brief online moment
Added link to openSUSE on Planet SUSE Connection here is really slow, but trying to check a couple of prospective blogs to also add to Planet SUSE, they may have to wait till I get home though Soul Action – look at it

My movements

Planetary Science
Paul: Setting up a Planet’s dead easy, just grab the latest code snapshot from PlanetPlanet and read the docs in the tarball. You need no php (unless you want your HTML to be PHP generated, maybe to draw in includes from somewhere else) and you certainly don’t need a DB. All you need is a …

Not Dead Yet
Well, today I’ve gone twenty nine years without dieing – let the festivities commence! Amanda and I went out for a chinese last night, which was very nice.

YUM repositories
Seems you can get a YUM repository for a version of SuSE by sticking /yum on the end of the URI of the APT respository. So the 9.3-i386 repo is available here. Thanks, Richard. Correction: for 9.3-i386 only I think at this time.

More Yast Ponderings
With reference to Marcus’ post. The QT vs GTK YaST issue is about two things. The first is consistency of interface. For end-users, it makes sense if the system’s central config tool looks the same in its widgets etc as the rest of their desktop. The second is that at the moment, even if you …
