Mono Update for NLD
I tried to update Mono using Red Carpet today and got errors about conflicts. Thanks to some help on IRC I was able to get it to work by first removing Mono with:
rug remove mono
Then a new install from Red Carpet and everything works. As a side note I was able to get Tomboy to work and Beagle to install with the latest Mono stuff.
Novell Linux Desktop
I'm doing a review of the Novell Linux Desktop product for Network World. Should be out in a week or two. In the mean time I plan to continue playing with it as a development platform.
My first impressions are that it takes a little tweaking to get things set up. I did manage to get Monodevelop loaded but I can't seem to get the latest Mono stuff to install from Red Carpet. Seems as if there are conflicts between the installed version and the newer stuff.
Note: You need to add this service to get the Mono stuff in Red Carpet

I tried both the KDE and Gnome desktops and I think I prefer Gnome. I really want to get
Beagle up and running along with
Tomboy.
More as I go.

Wow. Just when it seems like Novell is getting some momentum they lose a
guy that had a clue. I was really looking forward to some interesting times with the rollout of the Novell Linux Desktop. I hope this doesn't put a damper on things...
