Does anyone have experience installing openSUSE 11.3 with KDE4 (4.5.3)? This isn't specifically a KDE help email. But I use opensuse and KDE exclusively on my desktop machines and I am thinking of purchasing the Acer Aspire One D255 netbook for a family member. So, anyone willing to share their experience with installing/using openSUSE and KDE4 on this netbook would be much appreciated!
Test hardware compatibility with the liveusb before installing. I guess it has intel gfx which sucks major ass with 11.3, 2D works ok, but 3D is slow and crashy. So better make sure he doesn't need 3D, and don't use desktop effects as a selling point. A quick search implies it has atheros wireless which is a bit hit and miss depending on the chipset. And of course the power management will prolly be worse than the preloaded OS, so better check if the guy is highly sensitive about battery life and suspending to ram every 5 minutes. Other than that I'd guess it works ok, but I don't have that hardware. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
