Welcome

Welcome to my blog. Here you will find my daily experience with linux. I'm an intermediate linux user. I have implemented linux as a server and workstation in my company, and also at home. I have experience in installing and running linux on 32 bit PC, 64 bit server, and also a laptop. I have a quite extensive experience with SUSE, from version 7, 8, 9, 10, SUSE professional 10.1 boxed version, and now 11. I hope this blog will help you in anyway. Fell free to post any comment, or ask. You can leave your question by commenting the post. Have a nice day

3rd day with Mint Debian rolling release 201101

OK, done with updating software. But there are some things that strike me not too newbie-ish, when the update starts there are some updates that needs user interaction to finish: the GRUB update actually asked me where do I install my GRUB boot loader, and the gnome configuration was asking whether I want to keep my old configuration file or replace it with the new one. Well, fortunately I know how to answer those questions, but a complete newbie? I'm not sure.
So what I want to know now, is am I able to build my own local directory repository like the one that I did in Opensuse. This is the moment of truth. I'll get back as soon as possible. Right now I'm still downloading some programs, including Xmind (they have the latest .deb version on their website, less hassle then when I was looking for RPM for it, since no RPM format available on their website), openproj also has .deb format on their sourceforge page, aTunes also has one, and lastly zimbra desktop. Hmm it seems that Debian package has better population than RPM, is it? let's find out more.
After I'm done, I'll update the news on how the installation going.

Later.
