So after three days of trying, I finally obtained the latest version of openSUSE.  It is definitely worth the time to upgrade.  I ended up wiping my entire drive (<em>say bye, bye Vista</em>) and finally organizing it properly for a Linux install.  So when I say its worth…

Did you know you can order pizza from Dominos via your *nix command line?  Well you can thanks to Pizza Party.  I would have to say my favorite function is the ability to batch order pizzas from an input file.  After all, us *nix geeks have some…
