SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Service Pack 1 will be released before June 26, 2007

Last night, I get an e-mail from Novell. From the e-mail, I think SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Service Pack 1 will be released before June 26, 2007. I hope my SLED 10 Eval can be updated too. Wait for SLED 10 sp1 and hope will be quickly.

The e-mail is here:

Thank you for downloading the evaluation version of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop. We hope you installed it and had a chance to see what it can do.
Buy Now, and Win a Laptop!

If you haven't purchased a SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop subscription, there's never been a better time to do it. We are giving away a Lenovo T60p with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop SP1 pre-installed to one lucky customer. Prize value: US$1999.

With the release of Service Pack 1, now is the perfect time to buy. You get the most cost-effective, easy to use, secure desktop on the market. SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop delivers the innovation and flexibility you crave with the interoperability you need. Buying a 1-year or 3-year subscription gives you access to all the latest updates and fixes, comprehensive self-service resources, and 30 days of unlimited telephone and electronic technical support.

Purchase by June 26, 2007, and you'll automatically be entered in the drawing. Each purchase of a one-year subscription provides one entry while a purchase of a three-year subscription gives you three entries. So if you're outfitting your whole organization, your chances will be REALLY good.

OpenOffice.org new Chart component is integrated to SRC680m213

Over 3 years(planned 2004-02-11 10:09, integrated 2007-05-22 22:21), OpenOffice.org CWS chart2mst3 is integrated to SRC680m213. This CWS include 332 tasks and 2003 files.
OpenOffice.org will do more work at this new chart. And now Issue 67754(right angle axes option for 3D charts) is good work.

Under Excel, 3D charts are not displayed as real 3D objects, but as simplified 3D

X axes is horizontal while Y axes is vertical.

I find this simplified display more readable et nicer, the rendering is less as
a staircase because most of the lines of the chart are horizontal or verticales.

It would be interesting to add this option in the 3D view to display this
rendering.

Compare OpenOffice.org and MS Excel 3D chart:

OpenOffice.org 3D chart
