See openSUSE.org for more. en http://www.simply-life.net/cheetah/blog/2008-06-16/big-release-week-update <!--break--> <p>This morning, while waking up and surfing the web a bit, it came to me. There are many software releases this week.</p> <p>First of all, tomorrow is <a href="http://www.simply-life.net/cheetah/node/40">download day</a> for Firefox 3. Get it tomorrow! I already blogged about this one, and I once again urge you to help Mozilla to that world record. Download Firefox 3 tomorrow!</p> <p>Then, also tomorrow, <a href="http://www.spore.com">Spore's</a> Creature Creator is officially released. Now EA already gave fansites (including me) a copy, so you can already get a bunch of <a href="http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=usr-Cheetah">my creatures</a>, including a full alphabet, from <a href="http://www.spore.com/sporepedia">Sporepedia</a>. Look at my shiny badge:</p> <div class="center"> <div style="width:448px;background:transparent url('http://www.spore.com/static/war/images/content/widget/widget_back_complete.jpg') no-repeat top left; margin: 0 auto;"><div><a href="http://www.spore.com"><img src="http://www.spore.com/css/blank.gif" style="width: 448px; height: 40px; border: 0;" alt="spore.com" /></a></div> <object style="width: 448px; height: 180px; background-color: #000;" data="http://www.spore.com/flash/csa_widget.swf?userid=2259668181&amp;username=Cheetah&amp;host=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spore.com%2Fview%2Fuser-thumbnail" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.spore.com/flash/csa_widget.swf?userid=2259668181&amp;username=Cheetah&amp;host=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spore.com%2Fview%2Fuser-thumbnail" /> </object> <div style="height: 48px"><a style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS',verdana,sans-serif;color:#fff;font-size:13pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:10px;text-decoration:none;" href="http://www.spore.com/view/profile/Cheetah">Visitk Spore.com</a></div> </div> </div> <p>Finally there's another release this Thursday. Although I'm quite a big fan of <a href="http://www.gentoo.org">Gentoo</a>, I've also used <a href="http://www.opensuse.org/">openSUSE</a> (previously SuSE) a lot in the past. I'm thinking of putting that on my laptop again, saving myself the hassle of continuous compilations, and what better opportunity than the release of openSUSE 11.0 to do so?</p> <div class="center"> <img class="openSuSE_11_countdown" src="http://gk2.sk/countdown/original.png" style="width: 300px; height: 150px; border: 0;" usemap="#openSuSE" alt="openSUSE Countdown" /> <map name="openSuSE" id="openSuSE"> <area shape="rect" coords="135,104,255,128" href="http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE_11.0" alt="openSUSE 11.0" /> </map> </div> <p><strong>Update (17 June):</strong> Just found out that <a href="http://www.winehq.org">Wine</a> also just released version 1.0 today. That's three major software releases on one day! Congratulations!</p> <p>Also, Firefox 3 Download Day is on! You have until tomorrow (18 June) 17:00 UTC to help Mozilla set that world record! <a href="http://mozilla.com/firefox">Go and download</a>!</p> http://www.simply-life.net/cheetah/blog/2008-06-16/big-release-week-update#comments Firefox Open Source openSUSE Spore WINE Mon, 16 Jun 2008 21:30:45 +0000 ChEeTaH 42 at http://www.simply-life.net/cheetah
