[opensuse-edu] Alpha1 for openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3 is ready for testing!
by Lars Vogdt 27 Oct '07

27 Oct '07

Hi all As described in the openSUSE-Education Roadmap, we have finished our first Alpha Version for openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3 this week! As already stated in the name of the release: this should be the first really useful release for 10.3 (and hopefully also for 10.2) - but it is really NOT ready for productional use! This is a very early development snapshot and perhaps things will change later. But we can only make things better, if someone told us what we've missed. So please test this Alpha1 very heavy and the next relase will hopefully fix all your problems. The path to the ISO images: * http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/ISOs/openSUSE-Education-10.3-Alp… * http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/ISOs/openSUSE-Education-10.2-Alp… You can find the MD5SUMS for the ISOs in this file: http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/ISOs/MD5SUMS If your browser doesn't support large files (bot ISOs are more than 1.8G big(!), you can also use any FTP-Client. The URL for FTP is: * ftp://www.opensuse-education.org/ISOs/openSUSE-Education-10.2-Alpha1.iso * ftp://www.opensuse-education.org/ISOs/openSUSE-Education-10.3-Alpha1.iso All files from the ISO images can also be accessed online. So you can also add the following URLs to YaST as Online-Repositories if you don't want to download the full ISO images: * http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/repo/10.2/ * http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/repo/10.3/ Please use our Bugzilla to report any bug you find. Thank you and have a lot of fun! Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-edu] Suggestion for knowledge keeper?
by Fajar Priyanto 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hello, Currently I'm using Kate to keep notes, part of log files, my thoughts, various passwords, bank account numbers, etc. Over 3 years now the file has grown so big, that I think now it's taxing system resource too much. I'm looking for a better solution. A friend of mine suggests tomboy, but I don't like it. Can someone share your suggestion any tool for this kind of purpose? Thank you very much. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 20:43:52 up 50 min, 2.6.20-16-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org The real challenge of teaching is getting your students motivated to learn.
