Open source at CeBIT 2007 |
|
Friday, 23 March 2007 |
|
Traditionally, most companies that work with open source software
cluster at the Linux Park in Hall 5, and this year was no exception.
Nor was there any exception to another CeBIT tradition, namely the
release of a new version of Knoppix, which is now at version 5.2.
However, this time Klaus Knopper -- Mr. Knoppix himself -- wasn't
handing out free disks and answering visitors' questions. Instead,
German publisher Heise was selling copies of its C't magazine
containing the latest version of Knoppix.

Use the “CUBE” with XGL and Compiz on your Suse Laptop. |
|
Friday, 09 March 2007 |

Well, I got my laptop on Friday two weeks ago. I must say, the HP Compaq nx6310 was definitely a good choice. The only thing I don’t really like is the TrueLife screen. I don’t like it because of the glare, but I suppose I’ll get used to it. Anyway, one of the first things I did was partition the drive, and install OpenSuse 10.2, 64bit version. The installation went smoothly and everything (including WLAN) worked perfect. In this workshop I want to explain the installation of the 3D cube using XGL and Compiz. |

How to build a live Fedora CD using Kadischi |
|
Monday, 05 March 2007 |
|
Kadischi was created in 2005 by Darko Ilic specifically for creating Fedora based Live CDs. Although it is still in active early development, it is still quite usable. What this means to the average user, is that there currently are not any RPMs for Kadischi; it is only downloadable from CVS. Fear not, this is covered below, and it’s quite easy to build. |

Automatic patch management with PatchQuest in a home environment |
|
Thursday, 01 March 2007 |
|
Patch management has
become an area of concern for business networks and home networks as well.
Updates and patches are continually developed by vendors to improve their
solutions. Most network administrators would know the chaos resulting from the
release of a new critical patch. PatchQuest is patch management software that frees administrators from manually managing patches for their existing
Windows/Linux installations. Linux-Tip tested the free edition , which can
manage up to 5 computers.

I have mixed feelings about openSUSE. On the one hand, it feels like a polished system, and that is reflected from the installation to YaST. Yet, if we take away YaST for a moment, then openSUSE looks a little weak. It feels sluggish, and has a user interface that isn't necessarily better for the user compared to a standard GNOME interface. It has the cost of deviating from the norm, while gaining very little from it. Compare it to, say, Ubuntu or perhaps even Debian, and openSUSE really doesn't stand very well. |

Mandriva One + Metisse – The Pefect Setup |
|
Wednesday, 14 February 2007 |
|
Metisse is a window manager developped by the In Situ project. It is available under the GPL Licence. Mandriva Linux is using Metrisse in its latest Live-CD. Metisse differs from a classic 3D desktop ("the cube") in the way that it offers innovative windows interactions, thus enforcing work efficiency. It is using basic openGL commands for most of its feature and can run on entry level 3D graphic cards. This workshop describes the hard disk installation and Mandriva One setup. Additionally you wll find information how to use the Metrisse 3D Desktop.
