As I was updating my CentOS 5.2 desktop computer, I noticed something new after the update a couple of days ago. There’s a new wallpaper and it’s damn pretty! Here’s the screenshot.

New CentOS Desktop
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009OpenSUSE 11.1 KDE 4.1.3
Saturday, January 24th, 2009Well since my desktop is now fubar…I’m just using my laptops now, one has Windows XP and the other one is my GNU/Linux test bed which is currently running OpenSUSE 11.1. I first used GNOME since I was used to Fedora’s GNOME desktop environment. I figured out that I should at least try the other desktop environments for a longer period of time. In case you’re wondering I tried KDE a long time ago and I hated it. But since KDE 4.1.3 has been around for a couple of months now, I told myself that I should use it. And quite frankly…I’m impressed, hehe. I mean just a few tweaks here and there and it looks awesome. All I did was change the wallpaper and change the theme to Oxygen and it looks fantastic – probably better than Windows 7 in terms of first impressions. Take a look at it yourself…
openSUSE 11.1: It Just Works
Thursday, December 18th, 2008Today openSUSE launched version 11.1! I waited for it until T-XX something. I haven’t really used openSUSE that much as compared to Fedora. The last one that I’ve used was 10.3 way back and it just didn’t got me like how Fedora did. The main reason was that my sound card just doesn’t work! No matter how much I tried and how many people I asked in the openSUSE forums. Now that 11.1 has just been released I completely remove my Fedora 10 installation in my laptop and did a complete clean install of openSUSE 11.1. By the way, I love Fedora 10 and there’s nothing wrong with it, I just wanted to try openSUSE again. Maybe this time…it won’t give me such a headache or maybe this time I can handle it since I know a lot more about GNU/Linux than the past and I mostly know how to deal with stuff now. We’ll see…
Getting Your Kernel’s Tick In Fedora 10
Friday, December 12th, 2008I put Fedora 10 since I’m not sure if this will work in all the GNU/Linux distros out there, though I’m sure it will work on most. Anyway if you guys want to know if youre kernel is running at 1000MHz just type in this command.
grep CONFIG_HZ /boot/config-`uname -r`And the output should look like this.
[root@localhost ~]# grep CONFIG_HZ /boot/config-`uname -r`
# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set
CONFIG_HZ_1000=y
CONFIG_HZ=1000
[root@localhost ~]#Hope that’s helpful!
