Novellcongres.nl Bootable SUSE Linux USB key

Geplaatst op door

 

Als bezoeker van Novellcongres.nl heb je een bootable USB

 

key ontvangen met daarop OpenSUSE Linux versie 10.3.

Je kunt hier het image van de USB key downloaden tot 30 juni 2008. Op deze pagina lees je hoe je het image op de USB key kunt plaatsen.

De organisatie van Novellcongres.nl is niet verantwoordelijk voor schade die is ontstaan door gebruik van dit image of door het volgen van de hier beschreven instructies.

Het image kun je restoren vanuit een Linux-omgeving met het dd commando. (Je kunt ook gebruikmaken van dd for Windows)

Tip: Als je geen Linux-machine hebt dan kun je een Live-CD gebruiken zoals OpenSUSE of Knoppix Deze kunnen ook je Windows-bestandssysteem lezen waar je het image hebt opgeslagen.

Stap 1: Download eerst het bestand: Linux raw-disk-image formaat 707 Mb

Stap 2: Pak het ZIP-bestand uit

Stap 3: Controleer de download dmv het MD5 checksum bestand en het commando: md5sum -c nl_usb-1.2.img.md5

Stap 4: Het Linux-image kun je op een Linux-machine op de USB key schrijven met het commando: dd if=nl_usb-1.2.img of=<jouwusbdevice> (Daarbij staat het bestand dus in de huidige directory, je kunt ook een pad opgeven)

Tip: Om uit te vinden welk device jouw usb key is kun je bijv het commando fdisk -l gebruiken of het commando dmesg. DIt laatste commando laat na het inpluggen zien welk device je als laatste hebt toegevoegd, zoals sdb, sdc etc. Je USB-key zal dus een aanduiding krijgen zoals /dev/sdb , /dev/sdc etc.

GroupWise @ Home Survey

Geplaatst op door

For many years many people have been saying – “so if GroupWise is such a great solution, why can’t I use it at home?”. And with the new version GroupWise Bonsai coming up, this gets even more interesting, as many of the new features would be an excellent fit at home as well.

Having GroupWise @ Home will make many people very happy, as this new version will beat the competition at almost all aspects.

The GroupWise community connected by GroupWiseR has had discussions with Novell about this for quite some time and now needs your feedback to really build the case for GroupWise @ Home.

You might say: using GroupWise @ Home, can’t I already do that? Well, yes, GroupWise supports POP3 and IMAP4 and you can indeed install it at home. And yes, if your organization is using GroupWise and you or your users want to use the same great solution at home, you are entitled to simply take the client and install that at home, free of charge.

However, there are still a few things missing to make this a perfect solution at home, like a wizard to make the first installation including the creation of a POP3 or IMAP4 account easier. And perhaps some menu items that are not necessary in this GroupWise @ Home mode need to be removed.

Anyway, we need your feedback on this. We’re already a bit late in the creation process of Bonsai, but it looks like the time is right to give this project a serious shot.

Join us in this initiative and let’s see if we can build a strong case to get GroupWise @ Home.

We appreciate your feedback by completing the survey, thanks very much.

OpenOffice.org 2.4, Novell Edition (win/linux)

Geplaatst op door

The Novell Edition of OpenOffice.org contains enhancements and bug fixes that are not available in the standard edition. These include:

General Features

  • Enhanced Support for Microsoft Office File Formats: OpenOffice.org supports import and export of Microsoft Office file formats, even taking advantage of compatible fonts to match document length. Transparent document sharing makes OpenOffice.org the best choice if you are deploying it in a mixed Linux/Windows environment.ODMA Integration: The Novell Edition of OpenOffice.org for Windows includes improved integration with ODMA (Open Document Management Architecture) services, for example for GroupWise. If you have the GroupWise client installed on the machine, OpenOffice.org will offer to open documents from GroupWise, or save documents in GroupWise. If you want to open or save documents using the normal Windows file dialog instead, click Use Application Dialog when offered to select a document from GroupWise or to save a document into GroupWise. To avoid the GroupWise dialogs altogether, toggle the corresponding button in the Tools > Options > General dialog.Enhanced Fonts: For the Novell Edition of OpenOffice.org, Novell licensed fonts from Agfa Monotype which are metrically identical and visually compatible with some of the key Microsoft fonts. This allows OpenOffice.org to match fonts when opening documents originally composed in Microsoft Office, and very closely match pagination and page formatting. The fonts have different names, but are transparently mapped on export and import to their equivalents.Enhanced Fields Support

Calc

  • Excel Compatibility: Improved Excel compatibility for certain built-in functions (e.g. CELL, INFO, INDIRECT), hyperlinks and filters, improved ergonomics, ‘merge and center’ fix. Adds support for ‘R1C1’ style addresses. Performance enhancement on certain text functions such as SEARCH. Natural sorting option in cell range sorting.Excel VBA Macro Interoperability: The Novell Edition of OpenOffice.org eases the migration of many macros from Microsoft Excel. Although not all macros can be successfully migrated, this interoperability offers more than the standard edition, which does not support migration of macros.Data Pilots: Data Pilots are interoperable with MS Pivot Tablesâ„¢. The Novell edition substantially improves the Data Pilot feature, making it possible to edit pilots after creation.Solver: The Novell Edition of OpenOffice.org has a linear optimization solver to optimize a cell value based on arbitrary constraints, built into Calc.

Writer

The Writer navigator allows a tree view of the document structure, giving a slicker navigation experience. We also have improved change-tracking interoperability, better HTML export, and improved printing of fonts. For CJK locales we auto-generate bold and italic fonts where they are (commonly) missing.

Impress

The Novell Edition of OpenOffice.org improves the visual appearance of some graphical elements in Impress presentation slide shows.
