After a long time, MYSQL Workbench works right after installation. I tryed to run it under openSUSE 11, selecting the package from YaST, the only thing I could get after clicking the shortcut to it was a screen freeze, having to restart the system. Bad.
What is MYSQL Workbench? It’s just a cross-platform, visual database design tool developed by MySQL.
Now with the openSUSE 11.1, it runs well so far. Here is a screenshot:

Now that I got my Sennheiser HD 202 earphones back, I have been listening to Richard Wright’s Broken China a lot on my Cowon Iaudio 7. It sounds really well and it’s a pleasure to my ears. Nice lyrics, great melody, the whole album is like a story. Songs I enjoy most are Woman of custom, Far from the harbour wall, Reaching for the rail, and Breakthrough. Sinead O’Connor sings for a couple songs (Reaching for the rail, Breakthrough).
By the way, it feels strange listening to music done by someone who is dead already. I do believe that life does not end when death comes, and after watching him alive so many times (because he also played the keyboards with the Pink Floyd, one of my favorite bands) on DVDs or so, I tend to believe he achieved something very important in all of us, his music stays in our hearts in time.
It seems to me openSUSE gives your computer a random name. So how to change it?.
Simple, via terminal create a new Kate session and then edit the file /etc/HOSTNAME. There you should find something like this:
RandomComputerName.site
All you need to do is replace RandomComputerName with the desired name for your machine. Of course change is not made right away so you better restart or logout in order to see the change.
Finally the day has come and the new version is out now!. I’m downloading the openSUSE 11.1 right now, the DVD image so it’s going to be about 4 hours until I can do a fresh install…how exciting.
This release includes more than 230 new features, which you can check out here. Also there are improvements to YaST, major updates to GNOME, KDE, OpenOffice.org, and more freedom with a brand new license, Liberation fonts, and openJDK. This is also the first release built entirely in the openSUSE Build Service.

Have a lot of fun.
That is right, if everything goes well, in 9 days we will have the new openSUSE 11.1 out. I have been waiting for that day so I can have the DVD in my hands. I hope the custom menu for GNOME is closer to the default menu in Debian or Fedora, since I don’t seem to feel like removing duplicated items from here and there. Else it’s time to give KDE 4 a seriuos try. After all it’s just a matter of GUI because I am not thinking about digging into Qt or GTK this time…it seems more like PHP+MySQL stuff.
Would you like to check what cool things the openSUSE 11.1 includes?. Check this out.
