Public openSUSE 11.3 virtual machine

I really like our openSUSE Community. Do you remember that before 11.2 release there was a possibility to try new openSUSE without installing it? Well, our community member Jaromír Červenka did it again! Original blogpost in Czech can be found here. For those who don't speak Czech, some basic overview in English.

Once upon the time, there was a virtual machine. It was using KVM and it was managed by gentle libvirt. But it was kind of lonely. But as it was young and fresh new openSUSE, it wanted to see more people. So Červajz made a passage for it through the firewall. And now it runs ssh, vnc and even web service and it can talk to everybody.

So end of fairy tales. You can access latest openSUSE Milestone using following informations:

login:	password:
virtual	virtual
root	virtual

Connection posibilities

http://virtual.i-tux.cz/

vncviewer leon.i-tux.cz:5901

ssh -l virtual leon.i-tux.cz -p2222

And last thing to mention - there is already fate request to creating something like this officially. So if you like this, vote for it

If I connect with VNC from openSUSE 11.2, it has a lot of ugly artifacts. I think it's a problem with the color depth.

I have entered my real e-mail address and I saw that it appears as a "mailto:" link. That is so NOT cool! I don't want this address harvested by spambots. Please fix this.

I have resolved the artifacts problem.

Bug: when starting OpenOffice Writer, it complains a lot about not having JRE.

#4 e-mails & VNC

e-mails fixed, I generally don't care anymore, cause I'm getting enough spam even on e-mails that nobody should know about. But spams are quite similar nowadays so easy to get filtered ;-)

As for VNC, I'm sometimes getting some artifacts when I've got slow connection and client is trying to change color depth on the fly...

As for OpenOffice, I'll try it, thanks for bugreports ;-)

It's so lucky for me to find your blog! So shocking and great! Just one suggestion: It will be better and easier to follow if your blog can offer rrs subscription service.
