However, this version causes the stability problem, and not as well as the previous edition, This issue makes me and some of like to use Firefox's friends have complained repeatedly, one of these problems is that it will always be automatic shutdown suddenly, another big issue is that when i opened a lot of paging this version is slower than the previous version, this situation make me worry about Firefox future, especially so many browser vendors has joined in the browser market, whether it is Opera, Google Chrome, IE8, these companies have been releasing new features which included to the new version, so that the next version of Firefox have to fix all of bugs which has been found in this version, and adding more features, if the next version still made users to complain, perhaps some like to use Firefox users really switch to another browser.

Actually, these problems could only be found in my Windows XP and Windows Vista machines, but Linux system didn't have these problems when i was using openSUSE or Ubuntu.

Why the Windows 7 reserved 100 MB partition space?  

Since I use Windows 7 to test so many hardware and software, it has been noted that no one thing, it is the pre-partition sectors 100MB space, due to I am so lazy that i upgrade to Windows 7 from the Windows Vista when i need to use it for test, or using partition tool to divide partiton before install Windows 7, so i have not not nosed out the Windows 7 will be reserved 100MB partition space to place system information, boot sectors and multi-boot menu and so on..., i have to say the way to reserve partition place that likes Linux /boot partition role, but it seems to encounter such a situation which have to be a new hard disk or all partitions to be removed of the disk and than install Windows 7 during the installation process. you may have many questions and want to know the reasons why the reserved space have to take 100MB, i actually don't know why, but Microsoft has been little improved, the original space was originally reserved for 200MB and they has changed size from 200MB to 100MB that is because they also know that 100MB space is enough for system information and boot menu, if someone who do not want to waste space, please divide partitions before install the Windows 7.
Do you want to use the Windows 7 right now? please refer to the following link site to download the Windows 7 Enterprise 90-day trial version.

3. In this step, you will see the Blog title to be the feed title and feed address and maybe want to modify the feed address that is really hard to remember, so i change the below example feed address for present.



4. Sometimes, you may use the same address name with others, so you need to change the feed address again to avoid overlap problem.



5. Now, you can see the feed of your site as below and other people will be able to subscribe to your feed from this address, but you still need the html code to place in your site, so please click Next button.

Using KDE4 in openSUSE 11.1  

Actually,i have been accustomed to using KDE3 on my work machine and KDE4 has been excluded by me for a long time, but when i attempt to install openSUSE 11.1 with KDE4 again and found a little bit differences between before and now that is because last time I am excluded and there is no detail to use it, but this time I have spent a little more spirit to study KDE4, in fact it is not so difficult to use and provides more features to be user friendly.

    Why this time make me change it? In fact, because the last time can not be installed on the Choqok the smooth and implement it in the openSUSE 11.1 with KDE4 that will cause me to give up, but during this time i upgrade all the dependencies of all packages first and then implement the Choqok in the openSUSE 11.1 with KDE4. Of course, this will be able to smooth implementation, let's take a look on KDE4 right now.


Widgets must be a feature of KDE4 and you can remove or add in the desktop easily, if you are afraid to remove any widget incautiously, you can lock widgets after all of setting has been finished.
