http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/25215.html Quotes: "Package selection in any SuSE Pro distro is a lengthy affair, taking a good twenty minutes if you're familiar with it. If you've never used SuSE, then you might count on forty-five minutes to get it all sorted. Pretty much everything you could ever hope to find on the Web for Linux is there." "SuSE Firewall-2 is simplified, allowing you to configure iptables for your internal interface (e.g., eth0) and your external interface (e.g., ppp0) individually (though not separately, if you see what I mean). It's a good deal more convenient than before, and can be set up in about thirty seconds." "As for the UI, most users will be pleasantly surprised. Not only is KDE-3.0 a lot more attractive than its predecessors, it's more functional and logical. And it's stable -- more so than any earlier version, so far as I can tell. Like SuSE, it seems to defy the x.0 conventional wisdom." "And while the disappearance of the very useful RC-Config Editor module in YaST2 smacks of a bit of Microsoft-esque 'you'd better not monkey with this black magic' paternalism, and while there are imperfections in a few of the packages, overall I'd have to say that 8.0 is a solid step forward. I'll be keeping it, that's for sure." Hmmm... Is the rc-config module really gone in Yast2 for 8.0? I'm still on 7.3, and found that to be a very convenient module. But overall, a positive review for 8.0! :-) Joe --------------------------------------------------- The surgeon general has determined that using Microsoft products may be hazardous to your wallet.

No, it is not gone, it was only renamed to sysconfig-editor, too. But it seems that nobody finds it with this name.

Ah, good! :-) I e-mailed the reviewer to let him know as well. Joe --------------------------------------------------- The surgeon general has determined that using Microsoft products may be hazardous to your wallet. And your computer. ---------------------------------------------------

I also emailed the reviewer with this article which shows how to use Freetype w/ Mozilla. It works PERFECTLY. I have access to all my TTF's now in Mozilla. BTW...if you all check out the nightly's ..you'll find out that Mozilla isn't tagged as rc1 anymore. It comes up as 1.0.0+ :) http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1928 -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. -GC --=====-----=====--
