SUSE 10.0 in use

Wi-Fi
Came into college early this morning, and now have the two WAPs bridging between themselves, extending the connection from the wired LAN access in the library all the way to the far end of the Common Room – w00t!

Wi-Fi related stuff
WAPs arrived at college on Friday, had time to set then up as basic access points (encrypted of course), but not to do bridging yet, will do that on Monday. Committed updated en_GB translation for NetworkManager. Still a few fuzzy strings, but it’s a lot better than it was.

BetterDesktop
Great to see another new addition to the OpenSUSE stable, the BetterDesktop initiative. Undoubtedly work needs to be done on improving all interfaces (“what do you mean I right-click to change something?” – intuitive…), and this can only be good news. As it happens, I’m doing a little usability experiment with 10.0-GM at the moment. …

Monday morning
Why you should buy a SUSE Linux 10.0 box, rather than just installing the Evaluation version Working on an updated en_GB translation for NetworkManager. It had got really out of date, and is currently full of fuzzy strings.
