Anonymous Reader writes "There are now several SUSE Linux books on the market, each with a slightly different angle. Some concentrate on SUSE itself without going into depth on general GNU/Linux topics, others are more for reference than cover-to-cover reading, and some are comprehensive behemoths that try to document every possible use and purpose for Novell's GNU/Linux distribution. O'Reilly's SUSE Linux definitely falls into the latter category; people totally new to GNU/Linux will appreciate its thoroughness, but more advanced readers might find it slow and pedantic."
I tried searching similar threads but could not find a solution for my model of Acer and the wireless device.
Like you I have the AR242x 802.11abg and it works a treat on 9.04. I would suggest that unless you have a particular need for the Long Term Supported version you work with 9.04.
I initially used the live CD for 9.04 when it was in beta and it worked immediately. When the final issue arrived there was no problem on a full install.
I have the same issue on Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 on the acer aspire one. However, wifi works so I don't care. For the UNR, I seem to remember that another kernel will do the trick.
correctly refer to the provided strdup if it is not in the standard library (thanks to Bert Deknuydt)
package and version defined in a .ggo file have the precedence over PACKAGE and VERSION (reported by Kat Manton <kat@technogoths.org>)
fixed many compilation/portability problems in several architectures (thanks to Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>)
Anonymous CVS access is available. Please visit http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gengetopt/ where you can find detailed descriptions of how to access the CVS (read-only). I plan to make release-candidate versions available through CVS.
"If you are the type who responds to friend's pleas to 'help me get this virus off my computer' by deleting Windows and installing Linux, you may find a perfect holiday gift for the convert in a new magazine called TUX from SSC, the publishers of the ground-breaking Linux Journal.
"Linux Journal (which I read every month the moment it comes) covers an enormous range of topics in Linux technology as well as business, law, politics, etc. In contrast, TUX is an end-user's magazine for ordinary desktop users. The editor in chief is the renowned Marcel Gagné, who describes himself as the kind of friend I mentioned in the first paragraph and who can attest to the viability of Linux as an ordinary person's desktop system..."
"As soon as I read the news on Slashdot that id Software's just released Quake 4 was already available as both a Linux client and game server, I ran out and dropped $50 for the game. The box contained 4 CDs, a game guide, and a license key. But that's not enough to let you play Quake 4 on Linux.
"The product FAQ explains that in addition to the CD key contained in the retail package--required to play the game--you'll need to copy a bunch of files from the CDs as part of the installation process..."
"This tutorial will show you how to set up a serial console on a Linux system, and connect to it via a null modem cable. This is quite useful if your Linux server is in a headless configuration (no keyboard or monitor), as it allows you to easily get a console on the system if there are any problems with it (especially network problems, when SSH is not available). In the end, the GRUB menu will appear over the serial link, as will the bootup messages (output when booting the system). I'm using Debian Etch on the server and Ubuntu Edgy on my client, although this should work on any Linux distribution..."
"If a Linux distribution is not named after a Red Hat, does it still exist? Do sports teams improve their chances with Linux-inspired monikers? Do Linux administrators need to learn fencing to keep up with the tech industry?
"No, I'm not trying to throw you back into the fog that was the college philosophy class in which the only question on the final exam was 'Why?' Rather, as a former philosophy student working as an assistant site editor at SearchEnterpriseLinux.com, I have pondered these questions of late..."
"Ever wanted to take the window open on your desktop and set it on fire? If you happen to be running Linux, you're in luck.
Jaw-dropping 3D desktop effects first came to the Linux desktop by way of the Novell sponsored Compiz effort which got started over a year ago.
An open source community fork of that effort called Beryl is now moving beyond its base, taking Linux desktop effects to the next level. Beryl, already included in at least one Linux distribution, may end up being a key part of an upcoming release of Ubuntu Linux."
