I am assuming that everyone has heard of Windows XP "Media Center Edition". Although this is a great idea, it comes with a price. I am proposing using all open-source applications and OS to build the same functions (video, audio, and photo). Think about it....an open-source solution that will provide support the new movement...linux on the desktop. Please reply if you are interested. =) Sonny Nguyen

Is it the same as one of the manuals included in the SuSE 9.1 professional edition? 2) Is the downloadable CD the same as what comes with SuSE 9.1 personal? I'm evaluating the use of SuSE 9.1 personal edition for a future class that I'll be teaching.

Re: [Wlug] Installfest/bakeoff

by Brian Waite

I wasn't thinking quite so formal a process. Fir example if there are others in the world with old PCs looking to install Linux on, an install fest is a good way to get them installed and a quick primer. The other part would be just kind of showing, on personal machines maybe what a particular distro really works well for someone. As far as CDs, I'd be happy to make a bunch of CDs if we need them.

by Hemstreet, Jeffrey L (Jeffrey)

Also, if you install the personal edition, and you point to the Suse ftp site for updates, it will allow you to install the packages from the pro version. (At least the number of available packages suddenly increase about 4x) A friend of mine showed me this one, but I have not tried it myself. Just wanted to pass it on. jeff -----Original Message----- From: wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-bounces@mail.wlug.org]On Behalf Of Andy Stewart Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 9:29 PM To: Worcester Linux Users' Group Subject: [Wlug] Seeking SuSE 9.1 personal edition -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI all, Does anybody have a copy of SuSE 9.1 *personal* edition?

Brian, The only way this would work well is if everyone has the same hardware, install using the same method (cd, nfs, etc), and has a set test procedures to perform. Sonny
