Description ryan smith 2010-04-19 12:46:40 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 SUSE/3.6.3-1.2 Firefox/3.6.3

My first feature request for OpenSuse 11.3 is to add the WHIRLPOOL encryption as a choice for the login password. More info can be found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHIRLPOOL

Also the encryption options should have security ratings displayed like this:

Whirlpool (Strongest)
MD5       (Okay)
etc
etc


My second feature request is to have a PC tracking feature so users can find their PC if it gets stolen. The iPhone has a feature like this so OpenSuse should too. It could work by users going into Control Center and clicking on "Computer Tracking" and then they type in their email address and choose when they want the ip address of the internet connection sent to them, like this:

Find your lost or stolen computer:
Your Email Address: example@example.com
Send Location     : Never
                    Once per Hour
                    Once per Day
               
If the computer has a GPS or wifi connected then those co-ordinates could be sent too. It should support IPv4 and IPv6 ip addresses.

Reproducible: Always
