You decided to switch desktops to Linux and now you can’t access your office IE only intranet. What do you do?
Well, you could IEs4Linux on WINE. WINE is a opensource Windows API implementation for the Linux platform and IEs4Linux is the “installer” which will download, install and get IE to work with WINE.
1. Add the WINE repository for openSUSE 10.3.

Google does it again. This time forcing Yahoo to consider Microsoft’s offer to acquire Yahoo for $44.6bn.
Yahoo, Google’s main competitor has been struggling for the past years trying to compete with Google. Yahoo needs to spend 300mil to revive itself based on the latest revenue forecast which may result in a 1000 staff lay off.
Microsoft offered to buy Yahoo last year but was declined by Yahoo being confident it will recover. A year later Microsoft sees that window open again. Continue Reading ->

Just had my Dell Latitude D610 upgraded to Vista Enterprise. Smooth graphics, good speed, good security (small box pops up each time you do something like install apps or change settings, just like Linux) and the side bar’s pretty sweet too.
Even with all the above I still prefer my openSUSE 10.2 with XGL and Beryl, It makes Vista look like a kitten. What did they put into all the source code?
Personally I feel that Vista ain’t as user friendly as I expected it to be or as they claimed it to be. It’s hard to find what you need when you need it.
Hit my first bug when I got back. My Intel pro 2200 BG wireless connection was not getting DHCP lease from my IPCOP server. The weird thing was that my LAN card was fine and my wireless connection worked fine if I used a static IP.
Spent a whole night trying to feagure out the problem.Good news is I manged to fix it with some help from MS knowledgebase and a few registry tweaks. It seems to be a problem with the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets. In XP it’s off and in Vista it’s on. Non Microsoft DHCP servers don’t like this.
See the fix on the next page; Continue Reading ->
