Ok, While I personally havn’t used the Yum-Gui on Bluequartz/CentOS, I do find it odd that even though someone would close their business they would then go and put an update on the BQ update server to remove a package that I’m sure a lot of people would use.

I can understand Nuonce removing their repository for yum, but why go and do something that seems to be just stupid.

I see Solarspeed.net still has the .pkg available for download for the yum-gui but I suspect if it were to be installed a yum update would promptly remove it again.

Ok well, I have just tested it on my server. and if you install the .pkg from SolarSpeed.net it seems to stay there. I guess time will tell for how long.

I’m just sitting here sneazing my head off, Such a pretty sight Not.

I have been reading the Ubuntu Website & Forums

I’m kind of excited about the upcoming release of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) You can view the Release Schedule

I guess I’m interested to see how upgrading from Hardy goes on my laptop. The last upgrade I did using a package manager ( yum on Fedora 8 ) left some problems lying around with packages that caused dependancy conflicts with future Fedora 9 updates. It wasn’t really hard to remove the problematic packages from Fedora 8 on Fedora 9. Though it would have been nice if Fedora had taken care of them to begin with. It’s not like they were packages from other repos.

Anyway, It will be good to see how Ubuntu handles upgrading Hardy to Intrepid. Ubuntu 8.10 release is scheduled for 30th October 2008, so I will let you all know how I get on with upgrading my Acer Aspire 4315 laptop.
