So long Zod, welcome Moonshine

It was time to say goodbye to Zod after backing up all my home data. Its soul is still in a DVD so I can retrieve it with Virtual Manager on Moonshine. The installer has a very good artwork. I feel like the layout could be improved. I have not gotten the opportunity to do it but I will prepare it for Fedora 8. One thing I wish to see on the installer is the size of package. Other than that, the installation was uneventful.

The new desktop itself is very impressive with its fast-user-switch. It is now possible to switch session while keeping activities from the original. The icons on the upper panel still uses Bluecurve. It should be normally replaced with the default theme which is Mist. I have seen some users complaining about the absence of Echo icon theme, rest assured it is available on the repository. There were new icons added since then, it should be available soon.

The blog was written with the LiveCD version that also provides the ability to easily resize Logical Volume Management. Hopefully there will a decent tutorial for the frontend system-config-lvm. It is also possible to resize a NTFS partition with GParted. Yes, I have Microsoft Windows XP that is reserved to game and web development.

As contributor, there are some works do like GDesklets and a long overdue of adesklets. The latter is much harder because of my lack of knowledge on Perl.

One more thing, the Revisor utility is really great. Check out Red Hat Magazine for more information.

No network on Fedora 9 x86_64 follow up

Following my post related to NetworkManager . I have found out about the workaround. If you have x86_64 system with 4GB support enabled, you should disable it in order to make NetworkManager work. I am not sure if that bug affects other distributions so, possibly the bug may be related to the x86_64 kernel. Let see if my theory can be verified.
