Ceci est une ancienne révision du document !
I apologize for the lack of columns, sometimes life requires us to get involved. In my last submission, I uploaded Project Trident to an HP Notebook. My mysterious problem of Wifi Connectivity followed me on the HP hardware. So, after some thinking, I would try an older laptop to get Project Trident installed.
I grabbed an ancient but reliable Lenovo SL500. It has 4 GB RAM, Intel Centrino, and 250 GB storage. Using my Linux rig, I downloaded the most recent Project Trident iso and burned the image to a random 2.0 USB thumb drive using SUSE Writer. After spending 20 minutes finding out how to boot from the USB drive, I woke up the splash screen.
The installer did not offer a live environment. I was taken to the usual installer setup workflow. Then a choice of which packages to install. I did a blend of security and internet apps. The last segway allowed the user to set up root password and profile credentials. The installation process was quick and painless
I booted the system and was greeted by the Lumina desktop environment. Immediately I attempted to connect to my WiFi. I found my router, entered my password, and I was using the Falkon browser for web surfing. The Lenovo is a mobile and not tethered to an ethernet cable, unlike the HP notebook.
I did the system upgrades, installed LibreOffice, and screenfetch.
Next month I will give a quick overview of the Lumina DE.
