As i am writing, I am installing the stable release of OpenSUSE 11, the latest distro of the same named project.

I was simply fascinated how the distro is well polished, recognised my madwifi-based wireless card, sound, and graphics card instantly, so i was able to continue my work as the distro itself installed.

KDE4 was the desktop of my choice. Trough it was not able to shine fully since OpenGL was not setup in the live version, I found the interface to be quite appealing.

Yast2 has gotten a really impressive makeover, cutting down processing time multiple times.

Many programs arent ported to KDE4 yet so any big changes from what i had setup on 10.3 werent expected.

All in all, Install is fast, the interface is simple, the programs are new.

After 15 years of development, Wine 1.0 has been released. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix. While perfect windows compatibility has not yet been achieved, full support for Photoshop CS2, Excel Viewer 2003, Word Viewer 2003 and PowerPoint Viewer 2003 have been among the goals prior to the release.

Visited the IAS in Maribor today. It was raining so the actual air attractions were limited. You can check out the official gallery here.

Also on site was the Slovenian military showing off their gadgets, you can see the pictures i took after the jump.
