With this function, I could make an archive or extract zip file with Konqueror without opening Ark for manually extract or compress the file. Now, I enjoy the KDE 4 on openSUSE 11.0, with Kwin desktop effect and a lot improvement in various area, but I still missing the above menu.

This event will be something new and it will be big in many ways.

It is likely that standard network-bridge script will soon be improved to better support bonding. I have found the scripts in SP1 more than adequate for bonding, however they do need some adjustment.

We still need to write down things for people who are not at GUADEC (sorry that it feels like teasing to you). I'm not posting the slides yet since, well, they're pretty much useless without some text. Some people are worried that we're going to do something big that might destabilize GNOME: we're pretty aware of those kind of risks and that's relly not the plan. We will try to write all the details today or tomorrow, but it's hard to find free time for.http://www.vuntz.net/journal/2008/07/11/481-guadec-notes-3 Justin Davies: Apple is soooo clever- July 11, 2008 I have had numerous drunken discussions with people in the industry about the iPhone 2.0 release, and there are a couple of things people missassume just happens with an Apple launch. But let&8217;s put the v1v2 release into perspective. Apple is one of the best companies in the world at whipping consumers into a frenzy over a product.

A PXE boot server can be very useful for a variety of tasks, e.g. Speed up the installation of a distribution because you don't have to change the media around. When using a PXE boot server in conjunction with 'AutoYaST' you can have a fully automated installation of SUSE Enterprise Linux.

From the article: After all these years I am willing to admit that Microsoft has won the desktop and server wars. Thanks to VMWare Windows is spreading throughout the datacenter. And, of course, there is only one operating system to use if you are dependent on Microsoft apps like Outlook, Word, and Excel.
