Distro-Upgrading from openSuSE 11.1 to 11.2

One of the features I always enviopenSuSE 11.2ed the Ubuntu people for is the ability to do a distro upgrade without tearing down my whole system and doing the CD-Dance. While that may still be needed from time to time to ensure a nice and compact system, it is just incredibly time consuming. With the latest version of ZYpp openSuSE now has the ability to just do that. It’s not yet as comfortable and staightforward as in Ubuntu, but it definitely improved from what I tried manually when upgrading from 11.0 to 11.1. First of all we need to update to the latest patch level from the update repository: 
zypper addrepo --check --name 'openSUSE-11.1-Update' http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1/ repo-update
zypper refresh
zypper update
If you already have the Update repository in your list then the first call will fail, but the others should work just fine.

Taking KDE 4 for a tour

Right now I’m writing this from the newest Kubuntu version which sports the newest KDE 4 version, and I just got one comment: “awesome” :) It’s nice, it’s fast and it’s intuitive, not sure how much is due to Kubuntu and how much it’s KDE4’s own improvement, but surely I will test it as soon as I get a better view at it on openSuse.

I suggest you get a look yourself and test it out, it’s beautiful ^^

Linux user forced to ditch Linux

With more and more people joining the Linux community it sad to announce that we lost one member: Scott McCausland (AKA sk0t), the ex-admin of the EliteTorrents BitTorrent tracker, was sentenced to five months imprisonment after he confessed to uploading copies of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith just before its theatrical release. And if that wasn’t enough his internet connection is being monitored, and if he uses his favorite OS (Ubuntu) he will be denied any use of computers.
“It isn’t the fact that I have to be monitored that bothers me, it is the fact that I have restructure my life (different OS, different software on that OS) and that they would require (force) me to purchase software while I a currently unemployed and relatively unemployable with the two felonies that they gave me,” McCausland told TorrentFreak.
Pretty ridiculous… [via TorrentFreak]

Dell has to go Linux?

I’m reallt thrilled about the post at the Ubuntu Blog:

So Dell emulated digg and put the idea to (good) use in letting people submit and vote for ideas to be implemented at Dell. The result was Dell Idea Storm. Now maybe Dell regrets it, just a wee bit. You see, the popular requests page right now is dominated by Linux-oriented requests. The most popular idea is for machines with Linux (Ubuntu/OpenSUSE/Fedora) pre-installed. Followed closely by an idea to distribute PCs with OpenOffice preinstalled. There are popular ideas that suggest PCs without Windows installed, PCs with open-source Linux drivers etc. Now, for Dell, it would be a small publicity setback if they do not act on at least a few of these ideas – them being the most popular ideas. It will be interesting to see how it develops. I hope Dell does not just seem to be attentive to customers, and actually gives them what they demand.
Could this finally be the end of half working Notebooks under Linux? That would be great news, especially after all the trouble I had (and still have) to get my Graphiccard running under OpenSuse 10.2. [via the Ubuntu Blog]
