Power Outage in Area where most openSUSE Servers are Located

(55 votes, average: 4.62 out of 5)

October 10th, 2008 by Andreas JaegerJust a quick note: We have a power outage in the part of the city of Nürnberg where the Novell office and the main server room is.  This means that many of our servers are right down, especially the download redirector, the mailing lists, the openSUSE build service and users.opensuse.org.

I will post a message once the power has been restored and all machines are running again.  Current estimate (11am Nuernberg time) is that it will take another 4 hours (until 3pm Nuernberg time which is 13:00 UTC) at least to restore power.

Note: the power companies do not know yet exactly where the problem is.

This server and the wiki are located in another data center and are therefore available.

经过一年的开发,openSuSE 11.0 正式版于6月19日21 o整正式对外发布.

openSuSE 11.0 配备了所有最新的软件

GNOME 2.22

GNOME users will find a lot to like in openSUSE 11.0. openSUSE’s GNOME is very close to upstream GNOME, because Novell and openSUSE want to do as much work as possible in the upstream release. However, we do modify GNOME’s artwork to provide a unified look and feel for the distro. The default GNOME configuration, such as panel layout, is slightly different than “stock” GNOME, and the openSUSE GNOME team backports a number of bug fixes into our GNOME release to ensure stability and the best possible GNOME experience.

在openSuSE 11.0 中的GNOME 2.22还配备了GNOME Virtual 文件系统(GVFS),带有对networked 文件系统更好的支持, 更好的声音管理PulseAudio, 以及 Evolution and Tomboy的提升, 以及更多.

KDE 4.0

除了GNOME外对界面的另一个优秀的选择,记住,此KDE 4.0是正式版.

openSUSE 11.0 is the first openSUSE release to include a stable release of KDE 4.0. This release includes sweeping changes in the KDE desktop, and represents the next generation of KDE. This release includes a new desktop shell, called Plasma, a new look and feel (called Oxygen), and many interface and usability improvements.

Compiz Fusion

优秀的Linux桌面效果,绝对比vista漂亮的多,这也就是为什么有评论说vista已经比Linux落后了N年的一个原因

compiz fusion在openSuSE 11.0 下是默认开启的,所以只要你把显卡驱动配置好了就能享受此高科技了

Firefox 3.0

由于Firefox正式版本发行比openSuSE Gold Master 迟了几天,所以openSuSE带的是Firefox 3.0的RC5,不过你可以通过在线更新升级到正式版3.0
