Once done with 1z0-042, one can go about any course, whether it is the basic 650-178, or the much more higher 70-536. Unlike this, N10-003 alone is not enough before attempting 70-294 or even 70-293. Going for 156-215 instead would be a much more better option.

    kok upgrading istilahnya..??
    berarti windows nya ilang opo?

  2. Vavai says:

    Istilah “upgrade” maksudnya menjadikan si OpenSUSE sebagai pilihan pertama. Pada dasarnya secara default OpenSUSE akan membiarkan Windows tetap ada, kecuali kita memang ingin menggantinya.

    Kata “upgrade” lebih dimaksudkan sebagai “ganti dengan sesuatu yang lebih baik”, hehehe…

    Apakah maksudnya openSuse 10.3 akan secara otomatis membuat menu GRUB saat booting? Sehingga ada pilihan untuk memakai openSUSE atau Win XP?
    Secara ini saya suka sekali grafis dari GNOME yang baru di 10.3 ini. Saya juga pakai 10.2? Bagaimana updatingnya? Proses yang dibutuhkan berapa lama? Nga kuat nih kalo donlod nya bisa sampe berjam2.. thx semuanya.

  7. Vavai says:

    Ya, betul sekali pak. Instlux pada dasarnya melakukan instalasi grub dalam bentuk menu “OpenSUSE 10.3 installer”.

    Saya belum pernah coba upgrade dari 10.2 ke 10.3 karena terakhir saya langsung melakukan clean install. Jika bapak memiliki DVD OpenSUSE 10.3 (yang tentu lebih lengkap daripada CD OpenSUSE 10.3 versi Gnome) semestinya tidak akan banyak yang dibutuhkan dari internet, asalkan sudah dipastikan repositori yang dipakai adalah repo dari DVD.

  8. Vavai says:

    Well done boss… Untuk yang bahasa Indonesia saya biarkan karena kalau si boss coba sendiri pasti tahu alasannya ;-)

  9. Vavai says:

    Ya, betul. Daripada cari Linux mirip Mac (bisa pakai KDE themes sih ;-) ) akan lebih enak pakai Mac beneran, hehehe…

    Ini diinstall di partisi baru boss, jadi nantinya dual boot.

  10. Sehat Tan says:

    Oh.. kalo gitu kalo saya cari DVD Repo openSUSE 10.3 itu bisa update ver 10.2 punya saya nga? I mean nantinya GNOME look desktop nya dan icon. dll bisa langsung otomatis diupgrade. Atau masakan saya perlu fresh install dari awal ? Thanx..

  11. Vavai says:

    Karena saya belum pernah coba langsung saya belum bisa jawab pak, tapi dari posting email di milis OpenSUSE.org, proses upgrade ini tidak ada masalah. Sebaiknya bapak backup dulu konfigurasi penting dan profilenya.

  12. Miftah says:

    wahh.. perlu di coba nih… tapi untuk skrg sy coba pake VMware kantor aja deh… leptopnya masih punya kumpeni soalnya….
