OpenSuSE 11.3 is out. This will be the first release in quite a few years that I won’t try at the day of release. I’ve been using OpenSuSE since Pre-Novell (9.0 I believe), and have usually upgraded as soon as possible. But why not this time? Because the last three times I tried to upgrade, […]
I will not try OpenSuSE 11.3 for the next few weeks.
OpenSuSE 11.2 – keyboard does not work in X.org

Intel x3100/GMA 965 and OpenSuSE 11.1
This is not needed anymore. Following these instructions might leave you with a non-working install OpenSuSE 11.1 works quite alright on Intel hardware, with one major quirk: 3D rendering is utterly broken. Or rather – it was when it shipped. If you suspect you’ve got this problem, run glxgears from a terminal, and watch the […]

Apt on OpenSuSE 10.3
OpenSuSE has yast2 and zypper, so why apt you might ask? Because apt-get is simply superior to zypper and yast2, and apt is far far quicker than zypper on resolving depencies.

OpenSuSE 10.2 on ThinkPad R61.

Pop in CD, boot, and install from network. Due to a decent internet connection at school, this is somewhat faster than installing from DVD. The laptop […]
