gladly publish an article on Distrowatch OpenSuse , a distro that does not stretch frequently (tested only once a couple of years ago) , at the request of a couple of friends who use a version to work (Enterprise)

The birth of OpenSUSE dates back to 1992 when four of Linux enthusiasts - Roland Dyroff, Thomas Fehr, Hubert Mantel and Burchard Steinbild - launched the project which was called SuSE (Software und System Entwicklung) Linux. In the early days, the young company sold in a set of floppy disks, the German version of Slackware Linux, but it was not long before SuSE Linux became an independent distribution with the launch of version 4.2 in May 1996. In the years following the SuSE developers adopted the RPM package management system and introduced YaST, a system of system administration in graphical mode. Frequent releases, excellent printed documentation, and the widespread availability of SuSE in stores across Europe and North America, resulted in the increasing popularity of the distribution.

SuSE Linux was acquired by Novell, Inc. in late 2003. Big changes in the development, licensing and availability of SUSE Linux followed a little later - YaST was released under the General Public License, the ISO images were freely distributed for public download, and most importantly, the development of the distribution was opened to public participation for the first time. Since the launch of the openSUSE project and the release of version 10.0 in October 2005, the distribution became completely free in every sense. The code of openSUSE is now the basis for all commercial products of Novell, originally called Novell Linux, later renamed to SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Today

openSUSE has a large following of satisfied users. The main reason why openSUSE receives gratification from users are cleanliness and beauty of desktop environments (KDE and GNOME), excellent system administration utility (YaST), and, for those who bought the boxed version, one of the best written records available today. However, the recent agreement between Novell and Microsoft, which apparently recognizes the rights of intellectual property of Microsoft on Linux, has resulted in a welter of condemnation by many Linux personalities and has convinced some people to change their distribution. Although Novell has disregarded the agreement and that Microsoft has not exercised any rights, this event remains a thorn in the eyes of many companies Linux Community.

• Pro: Configuration Tool understandable and intuitive large repository of software packages, excellent infrastructure of the website and printed documentation
• Cons: Novell has partnered with Microsoft in November 2006 that legalized Microsoft to hold rights to Linux, the graphical procedure in the management and administrative the desktop is often seen as clumsy and slow "
  
• package management software: Graphics YaST and the command line with the use of RPM packages
  
• Available editions: openSUSE processor 32-bit (i386), 64-bit (x86_64) and PowerPC (ppc) SUSE Linux Enterprise for i586, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x and x86_64, and even a live DVD edition does not install

beautify GRUB?

As we now know all the "little program" that allows us to choose to leave our beloved distro GNU-Linux or "that 'other OS' is called Gr.UB ( GRand Unified Bootloader ) .

Its operation is very simple but its interface is very simple and merely present a list of kernels on a black background anonymous (you can also change the colors but the background will always uniform) .

to beautify and personalize some of our menu can start with a few commands, change the background by inserting an image to our liking that is called in slang: splashimage . Unfortunately
's image can not be those in high resolution and with millions of colors but MUST necessarily be size, type and number of specific colors Gr.UB otherwise not be able to display it:

• resolution
• 14 colors Size 640 x 480
• format. xpm.gz

It Accordingly, once identified, 'image that we like we should give him some small "aggiustatina" with Gimp (or another graphics program that has the same functions ...) . So

: (*)

1. Take the 'image of your choice and open it with Gimp
2. Resize to 640 x 480 pixels
3. Go to the menu "Image"> "Mode"> "indexed color"
4. Click "Generate optimum palette" and the "maximum number of colors set 14.
5. Now do something that almost no one says that but I think it's important darkened and contrast your image quite a bit written otherwise grub will blend with your background.
6. Now save with the option 'save as "Select the" XPM "
7. in a shell the following command: sudo gzip vostra_immagine.xpm (**)
   
8. take your file and copy it in / boot / grub using this command: sudo cp vostra_immagine.xpm.gz / boot / grub / splash.xpm.gz (change name for convenience).
9. Now go into / boot / grub where you will find your splash image and open the file menu.lst . To do this you use the buttons Alt + F2 and type: kdesu kate / boot / grub / menu.lst if you have kde, gksu gedit / boot / grub / menu.lst if you gnome
10. Find the line: comment it out with a (***) # put in front and just below type the following: splashimage = ( hd0, 0 ) / boot / grub / splash.xpm.gz ( ° )
11. save everything and restart your PC, if all went well you should see something soon Gender:

FACT, HAVE FUN!


(*) use sudo because it is used by ubuntu distro that is more widespread, but those who use debian like me or others not just because it obviously needs to enter as root.
(**) You can also use the command line using the tool convert and avoid having to open gimp:
convert-geometry 640x480-colors 14 vostra_immagine.jpg splash.xpm gzip splash.xpm
(***) So the operating system of choice does not start automatically, but most will wait until you position yourself on the kernel of your choice (with the arrow keys), and give ENTER.
( ° ) Be careful not to leave space between the closed parenthesis and / boot. hd0, 0 supposed to have linux-gnu on the first partition of the first disc if you have your stuff installed on the second partition of the first disc you must write hd0, 1 but if you have your stuff on First partition of second disk write: hd1, 0 and so on, for more info, I refer you to my article on grub on that blog

Linux Mint 5 Elyssa R1

E 'for about three weeks that one of my favorite distro has been released in the latest version of the 5 (codename Elyssa).

The most important new (besides the fact that as you know is based on Ubuntu 8.04) are an improved management interface installation and management software with MintInstall and MintUpdate and a very useful feature (it seems that I have read my mind!) della quale spesso nei sistemi con sudo se ne sente la mancanza, cioè la possibilità di lanciare un file browser che abbia le proprietà di root, utilissima per i newby ma anche MOLTO pericolosa:

You can now open a folder as root by right-clicking on that folder and by selecting "Open as root". This is a powerful but also a dangerous feature. A warning message will remind you that you're in root mode, a file browser called XFE will appear (the reason for it not being Nautilus is precisely because it looks different. This way you can associate the different look and feel with the fact that this application is run as root). From there on you've got unlimited powers so be careful because everything you launch from XFE, you launch as root.

Attention guys, root can do anything ..... irreparably also delete system files or directories full mp3 of those who have both struggled to find .....
In general it's a distro that most fascinates me for its special menu and its graphical themes always very beautiful.
