Installed SLED 10 SP1 on a HP 6710b Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz (RM344UA) this evening.  Installs fine from original SP1 DVD. All common hardware supported properly out of the box except video.  Novell has an updated Intel widescreen video driver for it located here.  Works great as described at proper resolutions 1680x1050.

By default, Evolution is the program that handles e-mail in Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop.  Evolution is a very good mail client, but if your company uses GroupWise (and you the GroupWise client) that doesn't really work for you.  Here's how to set GroupWise as your default mail client:

Click the Computer Menu, then Control Center
Under System, click Preferred Applications
Click the Mail Reader tab
Click the radio button for Custom and enter this as the command:

/opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise %s

...if your GroupWise client is installed in the default location.

Now, when you click a "mailto:" link in a web page, it will start a new message in GroupWise.

HP has quite a few SLED certified laptops, but they don't talk about it enough.

When installing iFolder 3 from Open Enterprise Server Linux install xsp from SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 (SLED) media instead of the one that comes in the ifolder3 package.  Software Update can't seem to update the xsp that comes with iFolder. -m

6 Nov 2006:  From novell.support.open-enterprise-server.linux.administration

Q:  How to change the default Welcome page on Novell Open Enterprise Server.

A:  The welcome page is actually the 403 Forbidden error page for the main folder. Simply put an index.html in /srv/www/htdocs and it'll change to that easily.

/srv/www/htdocs is your default DocumentRoot as well

 More:

/etc/opt/novell/httpd/conf.d/welcome-apache.conf
gives us the answer:

ErrorDocument 403 /welcome/

sets the path, and then
Alias /welcome "/var/opt/novell/tomcat4/webapps/welcome"

later in the file points that alias to the webapp

Q:  I've seen the screenshots online of xgl / compiz that have backgrounds behind the cube. How can I do that with SLED 10?

A:  That is the skydome. It can be accessed though the gconf-editor

(1) ALT F2
(2) gconf-editor
(3) apps, compiz, plugins, cube, screen0, options
(4) Check the skydome option and the skydome_animated option if you want the image to move while rotating the screen.
(5) The skydome_image option need to be in .png format
