Fedora Linux Core 3 is out

Fedora Project has announced the release of Fedora Linux Core 3. As usual, all software packages has been updated with lots of bugfixes and new features. It should be faster, better, user friendlier, and blah blah blah…

I am downloading it currently using BitTorrent at excellent speeds of 500+ KBytes/s. I will upload it then to Thunderworx ftp server. If you are in Cyprus, you better wait until it will appear there, so you will be downloading it at faster speeds. If you are outside of Cyprus – I am sorry, FTP server is firewalled for you.

Update (9 Nov 2004 18:25): Ok, it is up at Thunderworx FTP server. Also, read the Release Notes.

OpenOffice.org

OpenOffice.orgPlayed with OpenOffice.org most of the day. Funny, after a lot of trying and braking, I have read about /net (or -n) option, which is used for OpenOffice.org installations for multiuser environments. Otherwise, .sversion file is not created in the proper place and nasty things happen :)
OpenOffice.org has nice configuration scheme through xml files. Easy to use for scripting and automative user setups. Bravo.
