Set Up Clients Updates From The Local YUM Repo Server:

rug is the command line front end to access ZENworks Management Daemon (ZMD) You can list the sources of installation, and or delete.

ZENworks management daemon (ZMD) is a daemon written in C#

Yast package management  is package manager users libzypp but not ZMD.

Libzypp  is the new package/patch/pattern/product management library written in C++. Currently, it installs, upgrades and removes packages by running “rpm” on the command-line.

Zen Updater  zen-updater, zen-installer, and zen-remover is small applets written in Mono set of GUI frontends for zmd.
zypper is an easy to use command line package manager using the software package management library called libzypp.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Cool Solutions

  • 2011 Novell Knowledge Partner nominations are now open!

    Nominations for 2011 Novell Knowledge Partners are now open! Wouldn't it be a shame if someone helpful in the forums, in the beta program, in Cool Solutions was denied an opportunity to become a Novell Knowledge Partner because nobody they helped took the time to nominate them? Is there someone you have seen that loves to share their knowledge and experience and takes the time out of THEIR busy day to help you? Do YOU take time out of your busy day to help others in the Novell communities? Nominations are being taken until the end of October for next year's Novell Knowledge Partners. If you have a favorite NKP that you feel should continue in the program, or know someone that would make a good candidate for admission to the program, please take a few minutes and nominate them. It would be appreciated. Go to http://support.novell.com/community/nkp.html to read more and submit a nomination. Thanks for taking the time to help us identify the people that help you the most.

  • Submit your Dilbert stories, and win prizes

    We all know that Dilbert isn't the only one with a pointy-haired man in his life. We're guessing you've had some close encounters with your own absurd managers. Managers who dictate new policies that fly in the face of reason. Crazy decisions made without any thought for unexpected consequences. Pronouncements unburdened by facts, yet defended to the death. (This is why Scott Adams is a billionaire today.)

    We thought it would be fun to see your Dilbert-esque stories dealing with strange ways that PHPs (pointy-haired people) have dealt with file management and file storage issues. We're launching a contest to find the best real-life 'storage insanity' story as told by our beloved IT professionals worldwide. Grand prize: a pass to BrainShare 2011 (Salt Lake City or EMEA)

    Here is how the contest works:

    1. Write an account of an absurd real-life incident that has something to do with file storage, file management, file archiving and restoration, etc.
    2. Email your story to coolguys@novell.com with "Dilbert" in the subject line, by November 30, 2010.
    3. We will edit all stories to remove any incriminating references to real people and real companies.
    4. You may enter more than one story. If you have a lot of good stories, we want to hear them all.
    5. We will publish all submissions that are fit to print.

    PRIZES

    * The first 100 published entrants will earn a limited-edition Dilbert t-shirt.
    * The Top 25 submissions will receive a Dilbert mug customized with the Novell comic strip. (These will be selected based on reader ratings, so get all your friends to rate your entry.)
    * The best entry, selected by a panel of judges, will earn a pass to BrainShare 2011.

    Note: Since these aren't really technical tips, we won't be giving Novell Rewards Points for published entries.

  • From Gerald to Larry: One Down, Solaris to Go

    So I hear you are killing OpenSolaris. Admittedly it never was all that successful as an Open Source project, unlike the Linux Kernel, Apache, Firefox, GCC, Samba, and hundreds/thousands of others that make up openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise.

    While I guess I can see your logic, I sympathize with those volunteers who had engaged. Luckily, there are communities around other operating systems which are a lot more open than OpenSolaris ever was, and I hope they will find a new home.

    Let's be clear on one thing, though. This is not the end of our quest; Solaris shall be next. We are taking share, and have for years. We run on a wider range of hardware than Solaris ever has or ever will. (Remind me, what happened to Solaris on System z? Just in case you wonder, 80% of System z workloads not running directly on IBM's own operating systems use SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.) Our portfolio of ISVs and applications is ever growing. We are cloud ready and readily found in various clouds, slim as in JeOS (Just Enough OS) and easy to build. No vendor lock in. Ah, and more brains and eyeballs than even you can afford. That's the power of Open Source, the power of Linux, the power of collaboration. And that's why I would not bet on the future of proprietary UNIX systems. Of which SUSE Linux Enterprise Server alone has already superseded several.

    Who is we, you may ask? It's those of us behind openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise, our peers behind other distributions and thousands of upstream projects we participate in, contribute to, and leverage.

    Me, I am the Director of Product Management for the SUSE Linux Enterprise family, Novell's Appliances products (around SUSE Studio), and openSUSE. As time allows I am still contributing to various Open Source projects, and all opinions above are my own even if shared by many.

    d'Ehre, and watch out, Larry!
