If you have a bit of experience, you can go with the Network version. Otherwise go with the GNOME or KDE version. Only if you will be installing on several machines should you download the DVD.
After installation there is no difference between the different versions, except for the obvious difference between KDE/GNOME. The CD versions are live versions can be run from USB stick as well.
Only you can tell. If you are happy with what you have, stay where you are. (This also goes for Windows users.) If you are interested in trying out, download it and try it out. I use it as I like YaST and zypper. I also like to use it to combine it with the repositories I can make myself on https://build.opensuse.org/ and I like it because I can easily make my own distro based on it on http://susestudio.com/
I also welcome it. Many people have already used it and seened to be happy with it. I will wait till 11.3 till I use it. Although by then I hope to be just using my own distri that I will be making on http://susestudio.com/
This Is Not GO. It apparently also means "To take all the objects one desires from the house of a friend, one at a time, by borrowing them." in Pasquense, Easter Island.
Not instantly, but minutes and sometimes hours? Kids these days. Look up the SMTP protocol. It is not intended to be an instant messenger. There are even almost standard responses after certain times. First it says NOT to re-send the message, but the system is still trying (which causes people to re-send the email immediately) then after 4 days of trying at different intervals, it will tell you it won't be able to send the message. That is if all seems to be well. Otherwise other messages arrive.
Email is like electronic-mail. Mail is not intended to be instant. It needs to be processed. If you want messages instantly deliverd, you should use something that is intended to be used as for instant messaging.
It is not that broad. It applies only to the drooling retards who call themselves Glenn Beck fans. The other retards who call themselves Glen Beck fans are not implied.
It could even be argued that it implies that there are other people who are Glenn Beck fans and not drooling retards.
A distribution that does the same I do with about 100 lines of bash? Talk about overkill. I think that is what is wrong with MythTV. It is overengineered.
I tried in once and lost a couple of days. I then just wrote a script around ivtv-tune and was done in an hour or so. `ivtv-tune --device=/dev/video0 -teurope-west -f 259.25` will show bbc2. Exporting it to an avi file with mencoder will record it. Using `at` I can determine the start and end time. mplayer to view either directly from video0 or from the recorded avi file with MPlayer.
It could very well be that MythTV is great, but I won't bother with it, unless there is an extremely easy way to install it. To me it is way too much overkill. I want to be able to watch TB on my PV while working and that I can do with MPlayer. I want to record and that I can do with mencoder. I do not need a database for the 40 stations I have (and only watch about 12 of them)
A previous manager I had was always asking me different kind of numbers. I knew that manager did absolutely nothing with those numbers and also had no clue what I was talking about.
So one day I said that those numbers would take two days to retrieve. I then made up some numbers that looked like they could be correct and presented those while doing nothing during two days.
Absolutely nothing happened. I would not be surprised if that manager did not even looked at my fiction. Luckily now I have a manager who asks me what would be important numbers for his goals (which he explained) AND he is not afraid of bad numbers as they must be used to explain budged for staffing, upgrades,...
"What do you want to achieve with the numbers?" is one of the first questions I ask. I and he know that numbers are statistics and can be presented in different ways without being wrong.
I do reporting and give that to executives. I ask then what numbers they want and also why. The question as to why will imply that they will take action at certain points. It does not mean that I change the numbers, it means that I have some insight in what they want.
Asking them will explain what is important to them. That could be completely the opposite of what you think they would think is important. Uptime might not be important if all your downtime is outside of office hours.
Also look at what your own goals are.
However do not give them more then 3 or max 4 numbers. They won't understand and will not know what to do with it. Save details for the quartely meetings. I have made so many reports onn request where they say: what are the numbers for XYZ and each time I ask them: what will you do if they are good/bad?
There is no reason in measuring things where there will follow no actions due to those numbers.
Also be prepared to answer questions that you can not explain or are very hard to defend. "Why is the uptime not 100%? That is what we pay you for."
Probably? Weeks? Stuff you (or animals) eat will get into your body within hours. Let a goose eat garlic a few hours before it is slaughtered and you have a nice taste of garlic in the meat. It is a very simple thing. Stuff that gets into the animals stomach will get into the blood. The blood will put stuff in the muscles. Muscle is meat.
Next to the taste of food there also is the tenderness of the meat. Look at an athlete. He will have a lot of muscle. Look ate the average geek and he won't, even though they might eat the same amount of food.
As the athlete will do more movement, his blood will be pumped around much more. His muscle will also be much firmer.
With animals that translates to much more taste and much tougher meat. Most people have been trained that very tender meat is better. It if not so by definition. It will often have less taste, That lesser taste needs to be compensated by a strong sauce or ketchup or the like.
But what happens when you have a three-year-old child? Going to get them a cell phone? I don't think so. And while you can teach a three year old to dial 911 calling from a cell phone may not be anywhere near as easy or helpful. In a house the GPS chip isn't going to work so well, so your phone isn't going to know where it is. Meaning that the fire department doesn't know where to go.
The tree year old must be supervised by a grown up who can use a phone. "But what if the grown up can't call for whatever reason?" Tough. I would not rely on a tree year old to save my life. If it happens, great. If not, I die. People die all the time. It is not that big a deal. But hey, it is your money and if you want to pay the company a monthly fee just so your three year old can safe your life, please do. Unfortunatly I can't give up my landline, because that would mean I won't have ADSL anymore and cable is not an option for me.
Full ack. When I am driving down a hill and I go faster then what I would like to do, I automatically shift down, so I break on the engine. So I have already been in situations where the things as described happend.
I had a programable HP calculator. I believe it was a HP-41C. That had a lander program where you needed to enter figures to determine your decent onto the moon.
That was many, many years ago. So can I now get the money for wasting so much time on it?
The idea is good if you only have 1 login and password. However I and I asume many others have a multitude of logins and passwords. I access systems from different systems with different Operating Systems and different software.
Many logins and some passwords are not ones I can select myself. And then I am not even talking about the need to change passwords every month. (Some think that 30 days is a good idea.) So every first of the month I am changing as much passwords as I can, so I don't need to remember them all.
Obviously I forget some along the way.
Complex passwords? The more complex they must be, the more post-it notes I see on screens where I work.
I just checked and for my work I have 20 differnt logins and passwords that I did not made myself and where I have no influence on the login or the password. This due to many of them being third parties or shared ones with others. And now three devices that I need to type something in.
Sure it is very bad. It is however the situation I am in and I can imagine that I am not alone there.
That would be the case if one part would still be in Japan. However the cable left Japan, which must mean both sides (and everything in the middle) is ouside of Japan.
He copyrighted a LOT of stuff. I can go and write a story based on the universe of Shakespeares Hamlet with the same characters. I can't do that with the I, Robot stories. I do not blame Asimov, I blame the broken copyright situation.
Slashdot Mirror
Every 8 months there is a new version (used to be 6). So 11.3 will be out in 8 months. I can't wait. :-D
http://software.opensuse.org/112/en which will point you to a mirror automatically, to bittorernt, metalink or a mirror you can select.
If you have a bit of experience, you can go with the Network version. Otherwise go with the GNOME or KDE version. Only if you will be installing on several machines should you download the DVD.
After installation there is no difference between the different versions, except for the obvious difference between KDE/GNOME. The CD versions are live versions can be run from USB stick as well.

Just one. Why is it that opt-out is never good, except when people are talking about Google?
Gazillions of users won't bother to turn things off, so to have a few geeks from /. do it is to show they play nice.
Perhaps a reverse placebo effect. Or the medicine you take now triggers the placebo effect.
