It's not over until the fat lady sings.
Ive been very unfaithful, yes its true, and Ive been
cheating on a loyal, trustworthy and pleasurable partner who has stood by me
for the last six odd years, things have been that bad that I havent even taken
her for a spin in nearly six months she has lain dormant and unloved while Ive
sated my mid life crisis lust on another! Convincing myself that its just a temporary
thing until October when all will be well.
Poor old openSUSE what have you done to be so badly treated?Well I could moan about updating or accessing drives, I could perhaps use the
Microsoft/Novell deal as an excuse? But my lame
reasons are that for me personally I started to get this feeling that openSUSE
was heading for a downward spiral there was constant bickering and in fighting
on the mailing lists, people leaving Novell left right and centre and vultures
circling ready to pick over the wounded fluffy wabbit.
But then I began to notice small changes around three months
ago, I still keep up to date via the mailing lists and RSS feeds and of course the
next release 10.3 due some time around October has been on the cards for a
while but whats really grabbed my attention is the work being done on the
website/s. Im pretty certain the first change I saw was the creation of the
on-line build service it can build packages for various Linux distributions.
Then came along openSUSE News , providing the latest news related items.
Today I received a further
bit of information 1-Click Installation its a really easy to use installation
and software search portal. Given the proposed improvements with openSUSE 10.3
and the on-going changes being made to the various portals, websites
and wiki it looks to me like things are looking up again for this fantastic
distribution. Im still going to wait for the next release but now Im even
more excited, just goes to show Its not over until the fat lady sings.
