[opensuse-announce] Linux for Education Updated
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Linux for Education Updated The openSUSE Education team is proud to announce the availability of the updated Li-f-e hybrid ISO[1]. Unlike the official openSUSE release, the Edu project's Li-f-e flavor[2] will get updated almost on a monthly basis. These minor releases will contain all the official openSUSE 11.2 updates, some important package version updates and may be addition of new features too. With these gradual improvements we are hoping to make one of the best Education OS even better. A number of changes have been made since the last release: * All official openSUSE 11.2 updates. * Sugar 0.86.3 * KIWI-LTSP 0.8.1 including the latest LTSP[3] packages. See the Quick Start[4] instructions to enable the services. LTSP allows you to use old(and new) computers as diskless thin-clients without modification. * New Netboot option in the boot menu, uses gPXE[5] to boot from network. This requires a server (LTSP) serving the PXEboot images. This option is useful if the LAN card on the PC does not support PXE booting. * Inkscape 0.47 * Added new packages: Tomcat, Kdenlive for video editing, and Code::Blocks IDE. * Most of the Education software is updated, including GCompris and Moodle. * Installation improvements: saner partition suggestion and online update is not run in second stage. Do it manually via "zypper ref && zypper up" if required. The list of applications on this disk, including Educational softwares can be found on the openSUSE wiki[2]. You can download the DVD via SourceForge.net[6], using BitTorrent[7], or get the Metalink][8]. The md5sum is 68653e091842642b3c1d4a7387ccba60. It's best to use rsync, wget, or another download manager to download the image as Web browsers are known to get incomplete downloads. The fastest way to download is using a Metalink client[9]. Here is an example of using the command line Metalink client aria2: `aria2c -c http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/ISOs/openSUSE-Edu- li-f-e-11.2-latest-i686.iso.metalink` As always, we would like to hear from you!

by Bryen M Yunashko 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

In case you haven't noticed, openSUSE's Board now holds its meetings in public. Our bi-monthly meetings are held in the #openSUSE-project channel on Wednesdays, the same day as the regular Project meeting. This gives you a chance to not only observe our proceedings, but also to participate by asking questions and making suggestions during our Q&A's. Our next Board meeting will be Wednesday, December 16th at 19:00 UTC. http://bit.ly/92VEwt for the time in your local area. As always, the meetings are on IRC in the #opensuse-project channel on the Freenode Network. [1] So what about this week's meeting? In addition to our regularly conducted business, we will also be closing the end of the first term of the first-ever openly-elected openSUSE Board. We will express our appreciation for departing Board Member Stephen Shaw and welcome new members, Rupert Horstkötter and Pavol Rusnak. The new members will officially assume their new seats on December 22nd. Pascal Bleser (Yaloki) and Henne Vogelsang will begin the second year of their current term, Michael Loeffler will continue on as Board Chairperson and Bryen Yunashko (me) will begin his second term on the Board on December 22nd. This will be the final meeting of 2009. After tomorrow's meeting, we will determine the start date for the first meeting of the Second Board in 2010. We look forward to seeing you there to help us conclude the end of a great year for the openSUSE Project. [1] Not familiar with IRC? A good overview can be found at irchelp.org.
