One Last Month - SuSE Linux 10.1 on My Notebook

Setelah absen satu bulan lebih, akhirnya saya dapat menulis lagi di blog ini... Ada 4 hal penting yang saya kerjakan di bulan kemarin; 1. Instalasi SuSE Linux 10.1 di notebook & PC saya, 2. Mengantar Team Robot Unikom (uBot-B) ke Jakarta, 3. Pembuatan stand KliK! di acara ImeX 2006 (HIMA MI-UNIKOM), dan 4. Persiapan menjelang UAS! Tulisan saya akan berfokus pada 2 hal (dari yang saya sebutkan di atas); intalasi SuSE versi terbaru -- SuSE Linux 10.1 -- (untuk tulisan sekarang) dan perjalanan saya mengantar Team Robot Unikom ke Jakarta (tulisan selanjutnya).

OK! here there are...
