Weekly Roundup - November 12th 2007
This is my weekly roundup for the week of November 5th to November 11th 2007, where I look back at the posts I made over the past week as well as useful and interesting articles on other websites and blogs that I might have read.
Articles posted on my blog
Fedora 8 was released on November 8th (the early hours of November 9th in New Zealand), so I posted a few screenshots of the Gnome Live CD and the KDE live CD on Friday and Saturday. The Fedora 8 desktop looks nice and I'd like to have more of a play around with it.
While doing some development and moving sites between servers, I needed to work out how to compress files on Apache with mod_deflate, enable HTTP_POST_VARS on PHP and change the colour of the BASH shell prompt
And on Thursday I had some issues with my openSUSE 10.3 install: after installing YUM and doing some upgrades to YAST I started getting error messages like SUSE Yast No such client module sw_single when trying to run YAST modules. Thursday's article looks at the solution.
