I think I’ll be upgrading my laptop to OpenSUSE 10.1 over the weekend. I tried to do a “System Upgrade” from within YaST, but there were a ton of dependency and broken-package issues. Probably because I’ve wreaked so much havoc on this machine trying to get the latest gstreamer packages compiled recently so I could install the latest Rhythmbox with DAAP support. Maybe 10.1 includes the more recent versions of those… Sure would be nice to access my iTunes library that resides on my XP Desktop from the Thinkpad without having to rsync it every once in a while.

Things are much nicer now! The Novell/SuSE NetworkManager applet is absolute gold for someone like me who moves their machine around quite a bit.

I think that NetworkManager was the final piece of code that I really loved on Windows that I never found a good Linux counterpart for. Long live the SuSE gecko! « Dell to offer Opteron Servers [...]
