Day two of OpenSuSE, still kickin’ and happy
An impromptu OpenSuse install
I am not, by nature, someone who enjoys doing the same thing over and over and over again. Variety is most certainly the spice of life. This holds true in every aspect of my life. The Linux distributions that I use are no different. For the longest time, I used nothing but Debian unstable (like we're talking 4+ years here...). Then at some point I switched and started using Fedora Core, and pretty much enjoyed it except for the annoyances regarding mp3 playback and other minor nits. In fact, I have 2 computers at home running Fedora Core 3 still.

And then we came home, thinking that we could watch some movies with Kiwi, being that she's getting older now and stuff.
So, you can have your iTunes and Linux it too!
This is absolutely the coolest Open Source thing, by far, this month. In fact, it might be the coolest thing I've seen in a couple of months. Jon Lech Johansen (you might remember him as the guy who largely made it possible to watch those pesky little DVDs that you paid good money for on the Operating System you choose) has done it again.
Mere Christianity, Sunday BBQ
