[opensuse-project] Handling GPT disk labels
by Silviu Marin-Caea 07 Jul '07

07 Jul '07

GPT disk-labels (partition tables) are a new type of disk-labels that don't have the limitations of the ms-dos partition table. The ms-dos partition table is what almost everybody uses right now. The most notable of the ms-dos partition table limitations is the 2 TB limit for a partition. We are not that far away from this kind of capacity on the desktop. To properly handle GPT disk labels, we need a tool that can write them (parted) and a boot manager that understands them (grub2). … [View More]

by Nat Friedman 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

Hi everyone, At Novell we've been planning a special internal event that will run this week, from June 25th to 29th. We're calling it Hack Week.

[opensuse-project] 10.3 Alpha5 ISO Metalinks / DTA Firefox extension
by albryan＠comcast.net 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

A few questions first: Will there be official builds of aria2? Will there be official .metalinks? For the brave, nightly builds of DownThemAll!, a Firefox extension, support Metalink - mirrors & full file checksums, no download repairs yet. (Expect a beta in a few weeks). In this screenshot, the icon/logo, description, publisher, license, OS/arch, & other info are taken from the metalink. Some cool possibilities. http://code.downthemall.net/maierman/metaselect4.png http://bugs.code.… [View More]

[opensuse-project] Results of survey on use of proprietary software in openSUSE
by Michael Loeffler 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

Hi, the survey we did on proprietary software can be found here: http://en.opensuse.org/UX#Surveys It shows that we ship on the media some software which is hardly used (e.g. PlanMaker, SEPsesam etc.). Software which is hardly used we don't neet to ship on our media. Therfor my suggestion is to drop some software totally and offer some software only via ftp. To be discussed on opensuse-project. Best Michael PS: The question on TexLive was confusing. TexLive is open source but we … [View More]
