However, I just purchased a new workstation with CentOS5 preinstalled and I've decided to move to Centos for the time being. I do like SuSE, and will continue to support it at the BLU installfests, and I may remain on this list if I have the time. As I had previously mentioned, I put Ubuntu on my laptop because of a work requirement. One of my plans is to create a SuSE VM under my Centos/Xen system.
Still on Opensuse. But wanted to report:
Yesterday and new Dell XPS laptop arrived here with Ubuntu installed.
Upgrade to KUbuntu and you're all set!
Too bad Novell can't seem to get on the major clone maker's lists. You'd think that clone manufacturers like Dell would put the distro with the most marketing muscle.
Nothing wrong with Ubuntu and Canonacal but it'd be nice to see openSUSE or at lease SLED on the choice list.
Thing about this is the current release of Ubuntu is LTS (LongTermSupport-5 years of patching/support), you can get that on SLED, if you pay for it, two years patching/support on openSuSE. Also with LTS versions, you can set it to ignore the non-LTS os upgrades as well (I'm not sure about the non-LTS). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
