openSUSE-Education participates on IPv6 day

Thu, 17 May 2012 18:24:57 CET

6 JUNE 2012 - please mark this day in your calendar, as this is the World IPv6 day. This day is meant to call attention to the fact that IPv4 addresses have run out and the web has to move on to IPv6. openSUSE-Education will be part of this initiative, joining the ranks of Google, Yahoo and Facebook in making sure its infrastructure is IPv6 capable on June 6th.

The openSUSE-Education team is working hard to bring IPv6 services up. They started a few weeks ago and plan to be ready on June 6th, the World IPv6 day. On that day, all external services will be reachable via both IPv4 and IPv6. This includes this webpage, rsync and also the Email system.

Rolling Releases for openSUSE-Education

Sun, 20 Mar 2011 12:26:26 CET

Starting with the release of openSUSE 11.3, we changed our own release cycle. We can use the openSUSE-Buildservice now for building not only packages but also a complete Live-Media - so whenever we add a new package to the media or fix something inside a package, the openSUSE-Buildservice automatically starts a new build and finished by upgrading the resulting ISO-Image automatically.

So if you want to help us testing (or just want to use always the latest ISO), just use this URL: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/images/iso/

Tested ISO-Images are also placed here: http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/ISOs/
