One thing we might want to consider for future openSUSE releases is something like that "Role-based" configuration GUI that Windows Server 2008 R2 has, that automatically configures a set of services based on the way the system is going to be used.

This could also be done during installation, where the installer would give a choice of "Workstation / Developer Workstation / File Server / Web Server" and the choice would apply the right set of packages and firewall settings. By default, all of the Live CD versions should have SMB networking out of the box functioning.

Could someone seriously consider providing this option on priority, pretty please. As someone who tries to help to support some 283 remote linux users in my part of Australia, some of which are up to 600km from where I live and with some wierd mixes, being able to just tell them to run an installation for "nn1" or "nn2" for a new or upgraded machine would just save me such a lot of time, both in talking them through it or having to go visit. thanks in advance scsijon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
