massive +400meg update yesterday. Another 80 Megs today. Lucid development hurries along.
… not sure if I like purple yet. ubuntu barney edition? Suse’s ”solar” them #ftw.

I’ll do an openSUSE guide. I think we should have 2 parts. a) initial install and b) addons like flash, mp3, etc.
… although for (a) there are lots of install howto’s, opensuse site has one too.Note: will refer to en.opensuse.org many times in the guide.
What else/different should be in it?
@Morgan, two things I really like for Ubuntu are ”AptonCD (included by default in Linux Mint) and Remastersys
AptonCD takes the cache of .deb files you have downloaded via synaptic/aptitude and creates a ”software disk” that you can insert in any other Ubuntu box to update/add to its software
Remastersys allows you to create an installable liveDVD from your existing Ubuntu installtion — ie it has all the apps you’ve added already included. -

Andrew wrote a new blog post: Client side email archiving
For people used to MS Outlook, archiving your mail is a normal procedure. You probably set it to auto-archive certain folders too.
Archiving in this sense, means moving mails into another message store (PST file). If connected to an exchange/IMAP server, this would result in your messages being removed from the server and kept on your [...]4 months, 1 week ago · View -

Morgan, my son was 3 when he first tried Qimo, it took about 15 minutes for him to be comfortable with the mouse and since then he’s just had fun. I’m in Pta/Midrand and can give you and ISO if you’re up this way, otherwise the address in my previous post will let you download [...]
