I would refer people to our recently published Opensuse 11.2 Review which is based on the full release.

While I did install 11.2 RC1 on a HP DV2830SE where the artwork complemented the SE’s cover I had to uninstall RC1. Worked fine on kubuntu 9.10 RC1.

Why you ask?

No NVIDIA drivers 7150 (N630 chip) in the repo and no support of the BCM4322 (any version) (Which are supported for 11.1) for the drivers I could find Yast dutifully told me they were not for this version.

Other than that a fine install but I could not proceed to real world testing. Same issues really for the rest of my laptops including a Dell Precision 4300 which is Red Hat Certified with a Nvidia 360 workstation Card works fine on 11.0, kubuntu 9.10 RC1.

Some days I hate virtualbox it leads to sloppiness. All you need is those silly drivers put up for 11.2 on the build service.

Cheers John

Never mind what this dude has to say. It’s what You (I) say that matters. My installation of 11.2Rc1 went without a hitch. It defaults to a selection of KDE from the DVD (Interesting) and fine for me as I use KDE. There have been a considerable number of enhancements to the install process to help the newbies out there. I was up and running in less than 15 mins. And boot time is much improved. For RC it is really bugless IMO. I only have 2 issues (to date) Brightness control and Power Management is broken and Strigi will not enable. Bugs reported. A great OS and references already made to windows have me laughing. Seriously, there is no comparison, M$ just makes me want to call Ralph.

I’m sorry but this guy can barely even search for his own city, let alone provide a decent webcast. Three errors in a row and then sounding confused? Perhaps doing a quick rehearsal first might have been worth the time. If you want excellent webcast examples, – Aaron Seigo’s stuff will help you there.

Sorry but that is a bad review, its not a review of OpenSuSE, its a review op KDE 4.3, openSuSE is about YAST, one-click install, things like that…. the screencast: “there is actually a software update, I think it’s this little green-guy here”, sorry but he should have shown YAST, search for a program there, install it without dependency hastle.

Comment on Upcoming Board Elections by AlbertoP

I misread. Good also that all member are elected for the same time. Two years is too long though, for the same reasons I said above. There is no need of such a long term in the board, and it is better to have a dynamic change in the board too, with the impossibility to re-elect members for more than two times.
