There was a need to download DVD image of Suse Linux 9.2. Novell’s FTP server was too slow (about 12 KBytes/s) as was the torrent download (5 KBytes/s, not enough people). The high speed mirror (450+ KBytes/s) was found at ftp.caliu.info. Thanks guys!
Category: Technology
I work in technology sector. And I do round a clock, not only from 9 to 5. It is my bread and butter, it is my hobby, it is the fascination of my life. And with the current rate of change particular in information technology (IT), there is always something new to learn, to try, to talk about. I often post news, thoughts, and reviews. And when I do, this is the category I use.

- test1 is scheduled for February 21
- test2 is scheduled for March 21

In terms of features we can expect GCC 4, Xen integration, more Java, more SELinux, and a bunch of usual updates – KDE 3.4, Gnome 2.10, Xorg 6.8.2, etc. You can read the copy of the mailinglist message from Bill Nottingham for more details.
Also, Fedora Core 2 will most probably be transfered to Fedora Legacy project around the time of test2 release, which is currently scheduled for March 21.
And on the minor notes, Gimp 2.2.2 has been released to Fedora Core 3 updates. Here is an announcement you might want to read. In short: new directory .gimp-2.2 will be created in your home, so you might want to check your preferences, plugins, and other stuff. Also, not all fonts could have been distributed due to the licensing. You can download them by yourself from here. (freefonts) and here (sharefonts).

If you are into graphic manipulations, Good-Tutorials.com might interesting for you. It boasts 5800 Photoshop tutorials. I’ve checked a few and they are really easy and useful. The beauty of it is that you can apply the same techniques in other graphic manipulation programs, like Gimp for example.
