Installing & Configuring openSUSE 10.3
I’ve got a new article up. It’s the first one done in this blog:
Installing & Configuring openSUSE 10.3
Also, I revised my openSUSE / Samba article to reflect 10.3:
How To Samba With openSuse 10.3 And Windows XP
Please make comments in the articles comment section.
Sorry for the lack of updates…
I’ve been busy installing, configuring, and tweaking openSUSE 10.3, and writing an article about it in the process. If I saw something worth posting I’d put it up. If anyone sees something ‘post-worthy’ (to borrow a phrase from Elaine of Seinfeld) please use the Submit Content button.
At any rate, I hope you folks have a great weekend!
What you should know before you call a geek in to fix your computer
Their dorky company names and their cute little cars give off an air of friendly, helpful competence. But do the people who make computer house calls actually know what they’re doing? As Erica Johnson’s hidden-camera investigation reveals, most of the time the answer is “no.”
With the help of experts from Humber College Institute, we modified a computer to simulate a common hardware failure. Then we called in the nerds. The result? Only three of the ten technicians who saw our machine managed to correctly diagnose the problem.
There are so many things I could say but I think the 70% failure rate speaks for itself.

I Just Installed openSUSE 10.3
Although not officially released the “Gold Master” is available via torrent. Installed without a hitch. The only problem I’ve had thus far is trying to install the 3D ATI driver, it just will not work.
There is an EXCELLENT post here:

That’s it for today. It’s my birthday, and, there will be alcohol involved…
