your opinions on openSuse operating system?

Answer 1

united states of america focuses extra on the NFL. the main suitable athletes interior the U.S. prefer to circulate to the NFL often. After which you get the gamers that still get in to baseball, inspite of the reality that that's extra of a demise game. then you definately've the Basketball. Hockey is very low on the record, or maybe then its extra interior of reach and the U.S. is a very great united states of america with great factors that don't care. i presumed Hockey replaced into the extensive type one game to Canada. So their maximum suitable have the prefer to make it to the NHL. If the main suitable athletes interior the U.S. wanted to play hockey from the beginning up you will possibly even see better expertise, i'm uncertain how lots of those as quickly as in a era variety gamers might come out, however the MVP variety gamers might in all risk be discovered. I advise the U.S. has produced some high quality gamers interior the previous. those have been additionally gamers that wanted to play hockey from a youthful age. So think of if the main suitable athletes wanted to, you will possibly desire to think of that a minimum of one guy that went in to a distinctive game might have been that good if he had wanted to circulate in to the NHL.

opensuse is just a user interface that is built around the linux kernel,



same as all linux distros,



in my opinion kde is the better desktop as it looks more 'professional'

gnome looks 'cartoonish'



i use kde4, i stopped using gnome about 4 years ago



@mr.c



i beg to differ, i havn't upgraded my hardware,

in fact i have underclocked my cpu from 3.4 to 2.6 and its only a single core, 800fsb p4,

i have ddr2 ram running at single and a 128mb nvidia vid card,

full compiz and still blindingly fast,



mind you its only a full home entertainment center, with full remote control - including voice activated



oh its mandriva linux, uses the same software as opensuse (rpm's, i just use urpmi) - but with more proprietary support



so bad mark me all you want, i know what linux is

KDE? yes it WAS better then Gnome, as long as it WAS KDE.KDE 3, that is.

now, KDE (4) is just another v!$t0 failure forcing the users to upgrade their hardware ): CPU & Graphic card & disks... sounds familiar? yeah, right... v!$t0 :( and unfortunately, they are still a VERY long way from se7en :@



the solution? well, openSUSE 11.3, for a couple more years as it is still possible to install KDE 3.5.10 on openSUSE 11.3



openSUSE (and other distros) are more then just "different skins"; that may apply to the "XYbuntu" crap where indeed all the fuss is about the interface.

other distributions distinguish themselves more, like:

- update mechanism (dpkg or apt-get for Debian and XYbuntu crap, rpm / yum for RedHat & Co (fedora and quite few more) or YaST for openSUSE).

- configuration tools; most distro simply use whatever comes w/ the interface, making it difficult to find things if you switch from one to the other (Gnome to KDE or want to try out LXDE aso.); openSUSE chose, nearly 15 yrs ago to create an interface that allows to manage the system centrally and more uniformly no matter what interface you use (even from the command line, if the graphical environment doesn't want to start!)



openSUSE also comes w/ a broad community that is likely to have already come across any situation you will face & published the solution on the site's wiki. there is also a HCL (Hw Compatibility List) that easily gives instructions to get your hardware working if it doesn't out of the box (especially true for wireless cards & web-cams).



one of the key feature of openSUSE is that even though it is open source it is backed by a commercial company (Novell) which provides strong support to its open source "branch".

and Novell's new owner, Attachmate Corp seems to want to continue this approach :)



choosing a distro is a matter of personal preferences and even though i have long ago started using virtual machines to try out new releases of other distros, i still have to find one that makes me feel like i even want to go thru the trouble of installing it on a spare partition on my PC.



let's hope that by the time 11.3 reaches its end-of-support (some 2 yrs) KDE4 will have matured some and have become usable...

'til then, i'll stay w/ 11.3 under KDE 3.5.10 and for any new user, especially coming from M$ LostDOS Gnome may be a valid alternative (also on 11.4 to be released soon) as it tries to give (ex-)windoooooz users some familiarity and simplify away the Linux hard chores)



good luck in your Linux experience, whichever distro or interface you may choose.
