Distro Comparison: openSUSE 10.3 – Day 5
I, unfortunately, can’t live in an environment like openSUSE without my bluetooth mouse. I struggled through for 5 days, but am now back on Fedora.
I really appreciate the opinions, comments and helpful guidance given and look forward to installing Ubuntu early next year and doing a similar, yet majorly biased, comparison to Fedora.
If nothing else, [...]
Dig this!
Hi all,
While at work today, setting up test environments for Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10), I needed to check something with the ubuntu.com DNS entries. So I ran the following:
# dig -t ns ubuntu.com
And got something very interesting and entertaining. Can you see what it was? Yes, the mythic-beasts are definitely alive and well [...]
Distro Comparison: openSUSE 10.3 – Day 3
Wow, I’m excited by the response, and while I still believe that openSUSE is not the distro for me, it definitely has grown on me. I believe on my last review, I might have been a bit hasty in stating that just about everything was useless. And while I do have a few [...]
UNIX Completes Me
Okay, okay. I’m taking a quick break from my SUSE comparisons (and I will reply to all the comments I’ve been getting as well, keep them coming, its great) to entertain you all with this lovely picture my friend Aaron Toponce just sent me. I laughed out loud when I read it and knew it [...]

What’s wrong with SUSE you ask? Just about EVERYTHING! I’m not comfortable at all in this [...]
A New Series: Distro Comparisons, with Flair!
Its been a little couple weeks since I posted anything useful in my Program of the Week (POW) series. And while I still plan to keep that up in the near future, I am going to be doing a new series, Distro Comparisons, with Flare!
My plan is to install the other two major distros [...]
Giver – Give Files
So tonight I met Calvin Gaisford of Giver fame. One of the things I was interested in getting going was Giver and couldn’t get it built until tonight during the Tomboy Hacking Night at Novell.
Giver takes quite a bit of work to get running and its from source only right now. I hope [...]

Because of this goal, we’ve been working hard to come up with some simple, yet effective ideas to help the User Groups overall. [...]
