ok it has been a lot of time since my last blog, but actually my Linux experience has evolved, in a forum i was moaning about how it is difficult to install software on Linux without an Internet connexion, then a guy give me an indication, perhaps it is the best information i got form an Internet forum, just use opensuse, it simply rocks, definitively those Germans are smart people !!!!! i am downloading all the time new packages without the pitfalls of all those stupid dependencies, they made a simple solution yet very user friendly, all software are organized by distribution and processor architecture, so just grab them, then download them, copy to flash disk and have fun, so if you have opensuse 10.2 and you want software foo, it is so easy just go to software.opensuse.org/foo/10.2/i586/ and there is even a search facilities, so you are sure to not miss anything.
as a result, i have now in my computer all the very last version of my preferred applications, although kde4 alpha don't want to start ( keeping telling me, something is wrong with kdeinit4)
actually i am not the guy who wants always the last software even in alpha phase, i wanted to check the progress made to Kplato, which is by the way the only libre software that can be sometimes in future( ok with a lot of manpower) a serious project management tool( ok i have also planner and taskjuggler, but honestly guy how to manage a project in CLI). but i am sad to see that right now, it lacks a lot of basic features, like the ability to assign the budget quantity( either per day or the total) of a resources to a task, but what to say this a free software done by developers for free, so i can't tell them what they have to do.
Even worst, still wine( an MS windows emulator) don't support P3 or P5, so i have to keep my windows partition.
