Fedora 10

So, I am writing this from a fresh install of Fedora 10 and so far so good. I downloaded and burned the netinst cd and did a fresh install. It worked like a champ with one exception, it wouldn't let me statically assign my IP address at install, but I could live with that.

I will continue to evaluate and update as to my experience with Fedora 10.

WII Remote

So... I bought a WII. Took it out of the box, set it up, and started playing. This was all a piece of cake.

Then a snag. I tried to get my second WII Remote working and it wouldn't sync. I pushed the 1 and 2 together and nothing. I opened the back and pressed the red button and still nothing. Then when i was getting frustrated I tried one last thing.

I opened the panel under the drive on the console, pushed the red button, then pushed the button on the back of the WII Remote and tada, I was synced.

So far so good with the WII, now to see if it will replace my XBOX360 as my console of choice.

More on openSUSE 11.0

Ok, I have to admit, I like yast. I never gave it a fair shot in the past because I believed on my *nix boxes I should be able to just edit config files myself and not rely on a user interface. This is probably why I always like Solaris over AIX.

However, I am appending my view now. While I still like the freedom that editing config files myself, sometimes it's nice to just bring up a user interface to quickly do something, especially if you are in a time crunch and not sure of the configuration options.

So, thumbs up to yast.

openSUSE 11.0 follow up

So, I have a couple additional comments to my openSUSE 11.0 experience and it's still looking good.

I had to add the workspace switcher because they don't include it by default. However, that was straight forward and extremely easy to do.

Something that isn't always straight forward is printing, but I was able to very easily setup printing to an mfp on a windows print server. This was straight forward and there was a driver included that worked right, the first time.

openSUSE 11.0 is still looking good.
