Where is KDE control Center in Suse 10.2?

Click on the Gecko (Green Lizard) Icon on the bottom left> Computer> Click on Yast Administrator Settings> now you will get "Run as root - KDE su" window here you type in your root password and you are in Control Center.

Here's an article on how to compile from source, an oft asked question be newbies

Here is something new...

Tremulous, based on Quake3, is an open source game that blends a team based FPS (First-person shooter) with elements of an RTS (Real-time strategy). Its available on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows!

Source

===================================

OpenArena is an open-source content package for Quake III Arena licensed under the GPL, effectively creating a free stand-alone game. You do not need Quake III Arena to play this game.

Bots were added starting in 0.6.0. They will spout taunts and everything!

Concepts would be loose, so don't expect a remake of Klesk in his original Klesk form, or any direct remakes of any map/weapon/model.

Yea, I tried Torcs yesterday. But its like NFS2/3. I played tuxcart too, but I guess legoracer of windows is better than that. Neways it seems racing games need more time to evolve in linux. I played tremulous => excellent graphics, but I think I'll have to learn some cheats for it to contiinue.

If you are on KDE, try knemo.

I download it via Yast-Software Management, but can't find where it is and how to enable it ?
There is other entry in right click main panel--->Add applet to panel--->
but no knemo

Plz help

 

[mehulved]

Try to run it from terminal.
To add it to menu's use Kmenuedit.
You can search for where it is installed by

whereis knemo

 

[dissel]

Thanks at last I found it,Thanks t_y_f to pointing out where to find it....It is under Traditional KDE Menu style.
It is impossible to find out using SUSE Menu style.

Knemo is more configurable than GNOME network Monitor which I use Ubuntu.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I installed Racer in Ubuntu with help of it's website....but when I click the racer executable....no response at all.
