Zonker talks about
Hack Week 2. We mentioned this last week when Andreas brought up the topic.
While it’s groovy that the Eee PC runs Linux, I’ve been thinking about how to put openSUSE on the little beast. Lucky for me, Sonja Krause-Harder is already working on it as a Hack Week II project...
There is a rather weird press release
about an OpenSUSE commands book.
Aimed squarely at aspiring Linux power users and professional administrators, the SUSE Linux Toolbox offers more than 1000 examples of useful Linux command lines.
It's not too clear how SUSE is different from many other GNU/Linux distribution, but there you go.
Ryan Paul took a look
at the latest installer of OpenSUSE, which makes good use of Qt's latest and greatest capabilities.
Novell's second Hack Week event is taking place right now and developers are writing blog entries about some of their projects. Artist Jakub Steiner, who is best known for his work on GNOME and OpenOffice.org icons, has written about the new installer for OpenSUSE 11 which uses the CSS-like styling capabilities of Qt 4 to provide an aesthetically rich interface.
Not much more from OpenSUSE in the past week, but we no longer keep good track of OpenSUSE beta/alpha reviews.
