I used the toolbar button code provided to create a tinyurl button on the toolbar of my browser (Bon Echo [Firefox] on Damn Small Linux [DSL]).
Unfortunately, bookmarks that contain Javascript code for the URL do not automajickally bring in the correct favicon image, so I had to fiddle with it a bit. Here is a link to a screenshot of my browser with the tinyurl "make tinyurl" button installed:

Posting this over a local wireless network behind a cricket broadband connection from a Windows Vista machine conntected to the USB dongle, and running Windows' Internet Connection Sharing or wtf it's called ... will connect eth and linksys wifi router to ICS-enabled and connect linux boxen wifi-ly.
Hello KNOPPIX. Insufficient bandwidth to practically d/l OpenSUSE 11 DVD ISO? testing one two three...

Installed the OpenSuSE 11.0 Linux distribution to a Toshiba Satellite M55-S3512 laptop from the Live/Installer DVD.
Screen Size: 14.1 inches
Weight: 5 lbs
Processor Options: Intel Pentium M,Intel Celeron
Graphics Options: Integrated
Toshiba Support Page for Satellite M55-S3512
Note that the URLs for the Yast online repositories listed in the default Yast configuration are still not right (last dealt with this under SuSE 9.2, iirc) - add the text 'suse/' to the end of the repository path settings to get the online update and software installation functions to work.
There is some OpenSuSE documentation still on the Novell site: Novell Doc: OpenSUSE 11.0 - Table of Contents

A batch of speed tests for our new ATT/Bellsouth FastAccess™ DSL connection. Nice stuff, this, compared to that incredibly slow East Alabama Cable-provided cable modem...
