Kablink has released iFolder 3.8.

New features in 3.8

Quick note on VMware products and openSUSE 11.2: There is a slightly different package selection needed to be able to successfully have VMware products build & run on openSUSE 11.2.

These are the packages you need to have installed:

kernel-sources
kernel-syms #will also add dev packages
make #used to be selected by default
gcc
gcc++

Having the above packages VMware Workstation 6.5.3 and above should build normally.

Possibly this is what's needed to get VMware Server 2.x up and running though I haven't tested it.

Shortly after openSUSE being released, Novell announced the availability of OES2 SP2. As stated on the Novell site:

It's not just bug fixes and security patches. With all-new capabilities like auditing files in NSS on Linux with Novell Sentinel, an FTP gateway for remote access and enhanced migration tools that streamline NetWare upgrades, SP2 offers significant value. Combined with the Domain Services for Windows, iFolder 3.7, and AFP and CIFS protocol support included in SP1, you get new functionality for IT and end users alike

After placing the howto install iFolder Server on openSUSE, I received the question if this is also possible on SLES.

Good news for those looking to do this, as it's just as easy as installing on openSUSE. There are some small differences when installing on SLES 11.

In a nutshell:

There is a nice article on TuxRadar giving many tips on different levels on howto tweak your Linux system: TuxRadar: make Linux faster and lighter

If you are running openSUSE, don't get too much into the Yum and Apt tweaking bits... ;)

Happy tweaking!

iFolder is a superb solution to keep your files synchronized (using delta-sync) on multiple computers/laptops as single user or in groups and in a secure manner. Content can be accessed from any system offering an internet connection using a standard browser or iFolder client (clients are available on Linux, Mac & Windows).

On a running openSUSE 11.x system, you can have your iFolder Server up and running within 15 minutes.
