OpenSuSE 10.3 released

OpenSuSE 10.3 was released this week with a plethora of updates and new features, it really looks like a killer desktop OS and goes to show just how far open source products have come.  Now anyone that knows me knows that I’m a big RedHat/Fedora fan… but it looks like I just may have to give SuSE a try based on what I’ve read about on their site and all the screen shots… I’m sure I have a extra PC laying around somewhere.

Halo 3

Well I finally received my copy of Halo 3 yesterday and it has been beaten, I spent probably about 6-7hrs of the last 2 days playing it, while I always feel empty after beating a $60 game in a few hours, the story line, the graphics the overall quality of production in Halo 3 was well worth that money.  Not to mention the incredible online portion of that game… create your own maps etc. 🙂

Very well worth the money, one of the few things Microsoft has done properly in leaving Bungie to do their thing.

New Polycom IP330 phones review

We finally got in some of the ‘new’ Polycom IP330 models. There are numerous things about this phone that makes it perfect for the consumer or business on a budget, it’s “only” around $110 and includes 2 line appearances, PoE, and a full duplex speaker phone. It’s one killer phone in my opinion and another testament of why I love Polycom.

Here is a pic of our latest toy

FireFox, Java, Fedora… dear lord

So in the event that someone else has this issue and perhaps google can turn up my page regarding this I hope it can help someone in the future.

– Do *not* download the .bin, download and install the RPM from sun’s website

– Install compat-libstdc++-33 as it is required

– ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

(Note 1.6.0.1 was the available version at the time of writing this)
