I promised screenshots of the install in progress and here they are, fifty of them – some photos and some normal screenshots of the installation on Amanda’s Samsung R60plus (64bit).

Another bracelet for Team PokerStars
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 …

Keeping up to date
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 …
