SUSE Linux 10.1 Beta2 in sight

Donnerstag, Januar 26th, 2006

After a bumpy Beta1, we seem to be back on track again ;) SUSE Linux 10.1 Beta2 is finished and being uploaded to the mirrors as I’m writing this. I’v been testing early test builds of Beta2 for two days now and the “final” Beta2 is now running on my laptop. Thanks to Timo NetworkManager is actually working well now. And a new fontconfig package (which didn’t make it into Beta2) helped a lot to improve or at least re-establish performance of X applications. [We'll be looking into relasing this as a hotfix.]

On the university side I enjoyed some nice lectures this week — anyway I really need to spend more time studying! The exams are coming closer and closer every day now… ;)

Approaching weekend & openSUSE @ FOSDEM 2006

Samstag, Januar 14th, 2006

First of all, I’d like to jump at the chance to wish you a happy, healthy and successful new year 2006!

The first week of university is finally over and I should have been studying much more last week instead of working and doing other stuff, but fortunately the weekend is approaching rapidly. And guess what, studying will be given top priority now — at least in theory ;)

Having said that, the last week was quite successful for openSUSE. We had a meeting on Wednesday to coordinate our FOSDEM participance. The outcome is a tentative schedule for the openSUSE DevRoom, which in my opinion is just awesome. I’m really looking forward to a great FOSDEM. Alright, to cut a long story short, be sure to check this out and visit this page.

That’s it for now — enjoy the weekend everyone!
