| Hacking OpenSUSE |
Dec. 02, 2005
There's more to SUSE Linux than simply installing it and going to work. To get the most from the operating system, you'll probably want to do some post-install fine tuning. This article by Jem Matzan is a useful supplement to Steven J. Rosen's excellent how-to, "Installing SUSE Linux 10 on a Laptop," recently published here on DesktopLinux.com.
Matzan, author of three books and editor of The Jem Report, a respected software/hardware review site, writes: "If you installed the OSS version, you still need support for Java programs, MP3 audio files, and browser plugins for Macromedia Flash, Adobe Acrobat, RealPlayer, and Windows Media Video. If you installed the commercial edition you might have all of those things, but still not have support for playing DVD videos on your computer. Here's how to effectively make SUSE Linux 10.0 into a desktop powerhouse."
Topics covered -- including those mentioned above -- are:- Adding sources to YaST
- Installing Thunderbird
- Java support
- DVD playback
- Information for 64-bit users
