Novell has just released SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 yesterday. If you are interested to buy SUSE, go here:
Alternatively, to get yourself a free or open source one, download it here: openSUSE.org. You may also get a CD delivered to you via The Linux Store.
I also came across a review by DesktopLinux on the new SUSE. Take a preview before you download!

Just fill up your mailing address and The Linux Store will mail Linux CDs to your house. At the moment, they are giving out following distros:
- Suse
- Fedora
- Mandriva
- Gentoo
- Debian
- Knoppix
Besides those, there's also an other distro section for you to fill up whatever Linux distribution you want.
Get your CDs here: The Linux Store [free.thelinuxstore.ca]
It seems like Ubuntu is not being included in the list because Ubuntu have provided the service itself. So, if you are interested in Ubuntu go here: Ubuntu (Linux) 6.06 LTS.
In case you have problem making up your mind to determine which Linux distro to use, go here: Choosing The Right Linux Distro.

I received an invitation from HardwareZone to attend Open Source Symposium 2006 event organised by redhat. Here's the content of the email:
Experience the Power of Open Source Architecture
Feeling helpless and trapped with your existing proprietary platform and applications?
Held ransom by costly software upgrades?
Open source innovation is not a fad. It is here to stay. Enterprises around the world have migrated to Linux because they used to be as frustrated as you. Things happen for a reason. Especially good things. Isn’t it time you make them happen?
Hear what Linux users have to say
The revolution of choice continues. Come August, Red Hat will kick off a series of open source symposiums across 14 cities in Asia Pacific. Rediscover choice in mission critical enterprise computing face-to-face with Linux communities, including developers and users, customers and industry watchers. This is where your doubts and the myths about open source will be debunked.
Spend a day with us and you’ll see.

.. is really frustrating. I keep getting this message while loading and my gmail still don't load up after hours. The help provided is practically useless!
Loading...
This seems to be taking longer than usual. Your session may have been interrupted. If your account doesn't appear in the next few seconds, please refresh this page in your browser.
If you continue to have trouble loading your account, please visit the help center for troubleshooting information.
After spending hours looking waiting and refreshing it, I still can't access it. Along the way, I also learned that it is not possible to load HTML version directly. You will be redirected automatically if they think you need it.
So, how am I suppose to check my gmail now?!
I go for Gmail Mobile. Though it's working, it's not nice to see all the unformatted text in browser. And, I found the HTML version link at the bottom!
Looking at the link, it's just as easy as adding a 'h' at the back of the typical gmail link.
Go here: HTML version of Gmail
Finally, I can check my gmail. Hope that helps if you had the problem like mine. By the way, if you have alternative ways (besides setting up Outlook), do suggest.
