Iv'e been working on a wiki page that kinda feels useful and seems very easy to find what you are looking for.

Talking about this page: http://www.foresightlinux.se/wiki-en/

 

Today i spended some time to update wiki to latest mediawiki: 1.18.1

Also changed from ReCaptcha to QuestyCaptcha, will use a manually question that's pretty easy to answer. 

So the whole wiki included all pages been created by me. So alot of time been added to that wiki.

 

Has it been worth anything? Do anyone feels like it's a good idea and I should continue or put it on hold?

Just wonder, as it feels alot of time goes into wiki. Don't want to let all the time go to waste.

 

Also today, deleted 2 pages from spammers. So i hope the change of captcha will do a difference.

Many users wonders if there is a GUI for installing, searching or uninstalling packages for Foresight Linux.

And yes, there is. Called PackageKit.

 

 

Open terminal and write:

 sudo conary update PackageKit gnome-packagekit

 

 

Now you can easily install packages, but personally I still stick with terminal.

Can't live without "conary search *packagename*"   :)
