Early versions of Google Chrome now are available for Linux. If you are subscribing to Google repository, you can install it right away:
yum install google-chrome-unstable
Here is the instructions to setup Google repository with yum. Other Google software is also available in the repository, e.g. Google Desktop, Picasa and Google Gadgets.
I find Chrome very fast, and now I seldom use Firefox anymore.
My Palm Tungsten E2 finally synchronises with my Linux laptop. Finally. I can use it and get organised again.
After my old, used laptop died I depended on the PDA for everything: address book, calendar, writing articles, reading ebooks, listening to music. Sadly it had problems with every Linux distribution I tried (or, perhaps more accurately, Linux distributions had problems with Palm). This morning I idly reading pilot-link documentation on how to set up synchronisation with libusb. I blacklisted the visor module, copied the udev rules that comes with the distribution to /etc/udev/rules.d, set up partnership with the Palm, and hotsync. Voila, it works!
Incidentally, I use Fedora 8 now. Debian was good and all, but the laptop support sucked. There was no power management. Fedora is not perfect, but at least it is able to sleep and hibernate.
Installed Fedora 8 RC3 from live CD to my laptop yesterday. It has a blogging client! Yay! I’m posting from it right now.
On the other hand it has some annoying bugs. For example it cannot import pictures from Canon Powershot G5 that I use (Fedora 7 do it without sweat).
Livna also haven’t updated their repository. I tried to add livna-development repo but I cannot installed totem-xine. Yum protested that it will break totem-plparser, which I have uninstalled. Mysterious, isn’t it?
