http://goo.gl/SDLQH (800px jpg) The chameleons are on 3.5", 4.5" & 5 7/8" - he's not so successful at the smaller sizes (Tried to work on a curled up tail as well). The penguin, on the other hand, is quite successful at both 3.5" & 4.5". Maybe its a metaphor for Linux fitting on embedded devices, but openSUSE staying on the desktop/laptop ;-). Gonna give it another go with a rectangular pattern I found - should give me much more tail to work with; just need to find the right paper in town now... - James Mason 'bear454' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+h...@opensuse.org
