openSUSE 13.2 Beta: BTRFS vs. EXT4

September 25, 2014, 16:43(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

opensusegeeko

opensusegeekoopenSUSE has decided to use BTRFS as the default file system for openSUSE 13.2.
I’m currently testing 13.2 Beta 1 ( openSUSE 13.2 Is Coming – First Beta Has Arrived! ).
My main reason for testing is to see if I want to use BTRFS. To be clear, I am testing this to see if I want to use this on MY computers. For the purpose of this article I am not interested in any other scenario. [Read more…] about openSUSE 13.2 Beta: BTRFS vs. EXT4

Bring On The Weekend!

September 19, 2014, 14:45(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

oktoberfest

oktoberfestFall officially starts September 22 at 22:29 EDT. I love this time of year, football, MLB pennant races heating up, pumpkin and Oktoberfest style beers, and Oktoberfest celebrations. For those non-U.S. folks, yes, we do have lots of smaller Oktoberfest celebrations here. There are several in my town including one this weekend. They are not as magnificent as the original but the spirit is still there! I do want to attend the Munich Oktoberfest again someday. Anyway, on with the news…

Nvidia 344.11 WHQL Drivers (Linux 343.22 drivers too)

openSUSE 13.2
openSUSE 13.2 is scheduled to be released on November, 4th. The Beta was supposed to be released yesterday but has been pushed back until Monday.
Oh, and for you guys in the aforementioned thread complaining, “We need serious help marketing/spreading the word about openSUSE 13.2“. Get off your high-horse and engage people. I asked for access to the 13.1 GM as soon as it was ready so I could have a review up on release day. My request went ignored. How about getting folks to write articles on actual websites and not in those horrid forum articles section. Sorry, but openSUSE Lizards isn’t much better (horrible format). You need something that looks a little better. Maybe try offering some swag or something to potential writers too.

Software
Firefox 32.0.2. Yes. this is the 3rd update this month :rolleyes:
Ultimate Boot CD 5.3.2

Etc.
Lots of folks aren’t happy with Acronis TI 2015.
U2 Claims It’s Working With Apple On A New Music Format That ‘Can’t Be Pirated’ :rotfl:

Hope you all have a great weekend!
