Hat Tip: Distrowatch
Well SuSE has joined the band wagon, and has issued Live CD’s with a click to install option. This is great because you can test out if SuSE works with your hardware, and if you are happy, just install. There is a Gnome and a KDE version available here:

Here we have Comcast’s own statement regarding Bit Torrent:
And here we have observation by Ernesto over at Torrentfreak:
Comcast Throttles BitTorrent Traffic, Seeding Impossible
Written by Ernesto on August 17, 2007
Over the past weeks more and more Comcast users started to notice that their BitTorrent transfers were cut off. Most users report a significant decrease in [...]
The headline says it all, I think. Comcast did what they did in secret, denied it when confronted, and furthermore tried to cover it up when it was exposed. Why did they do it in secret, and deny it when they were confronted? Because they knew it was wrong. It really is that [...]

A little nosing around on a couple of the SuSE ftp sites, and I found a couple of un-documented live cd’s, one for gnome and one for KDE. The gnome worked great on my laptop but refused to boot on a friends. There was a directory that appearred–indicating that this was RC2 for [...]
Once in a while, I come across a post that is so wrong at such a basic level, that I am just scratching my head, wondering why someone inflicted the damage to their reputation by writing it. Over at Fortune magazine’s blog there is one such post.
Yahoo stock chart for SCO shows a big drop after the ruling in Novell case on Friday, 10 August 2007. It’s trading at about 30-something cents a share, whereas a Deutsch Bank analyst had predicted a value of about $50.00 a share at the start of the litigation. Dan Lyons of Forbes, Rob [...]
