Fair Trade Fortnight
It’s currently Fair Trade Fortnight – 2 weeks of raising awareness of the importance of ensuring that trade with the majority world is fair rather than free.

Software Management for Non-Geeks 2 (Or, Why Package Management sucks a bit less in openSUSE 10.3)
Many thanks to Ben, Bj?rn and Justin who contacted me via blog, email and IRC to give some more information on package management and updating on openSUSE 10.3. Ben’s post (linked above) is a really good description of the situation. Bj?rn sent a screenshot (below) of the GNOME updater applet’s preferences. Justin points out that …
