In case you hadn't heard, Amarok 2.2.0 (Sunjammer) is now officially in the wild. I won't bore you with details, other than to say... it's quite nice, and I digg it ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm a bit hooked. I admit it. I just can't stop playing Race For the Galaxy. Please help me spread the love to other fedora users, by participating in the rftg fedora package review.

UPDATE: moved the package review rpmfusion->fedora Package review was rejected, due to non-redistributability of the included artwork.  :(  In the meantime, I'm ( Read more... )

At long last, koffice-2.0.0 is released. Congratulations all around.

For fedora users interested in trying it out, current plans are to include koffice2 in Fedora 12, and unofficial packages are available from the kde-redhat project for Fedora 10/11 (currently in the unstable repo, as these replace the official/stable koffice1).
