Re:Installer stinks

On: Firefox 1.5 RC1 Released

Auto-upgrading from Beta 1 to RC1 won't work.

"Users of Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 will be offered RC1 through the software update system. More details can be found in the Firefox 1.5 RC1 Release Notes."

Quote from mozillazine

I guess the autoupdate feature wasn't mature enough in Beta 1.

Upgrade process from 9.2 Pro to 10.0 ?

On: A Closer Look at SUSE 10

A while back I installed 9.2 pro as dual boot with WinXP on my dad's machine. After skimming this review I'm excited to upgrade him to 10.0. Is there an easy way to upgrade from 9.2 to 10.0? I've been an ubuntu user for a while now, is there an analogous way in SuSE to swap the repositories and upgrage to 10.0? Or, can I just choose "Upgrade distrobution" in YasT and it'll go from there?

How 'bout both?

Oh yes, and here's the wiki, which gives a mock-up of the relavent interfaces.

Yes, you are correct.

On: Microsoft Remains Firm On Ending VB6 Support

Now, I'll admit I just skimmed TFA, but I didn't see that it stated that MS will completely end support for VB6, just FREE support.

I assume you'd still be able to pay for support should something catastrophic happen, am I right?

nonsense

On: Open Source on Windows - Boon or Bane for Linux?

Seems to me, if a windows user who normally wouldn't consider a full switch to linux is able to try KDE applications on his machine without an OS change, and grows to like them, they'll be much more likely to consider linux as a viable alternative the next time they upgrade their machine.

Is there a list of 'project evil' supported cards perchance?

Re:Wireless

On: SUSE 9.2 Released

I certainly hope they have figured out some way to enhance support for wireless network cards.

I've got a WMP54GS card that i've been completely unable to get working with ndiswrapper.

I absolutely love gentoo, but if SuSE can get this working I'll move back. (haven't used SuSE since 8.2)

P.S. if anyone has info on getting a Linksys WMP54GS wireless network card working with gentoo, i'd really appreciate a nudge in the right direction.
