Summary: great and very stable, KDE4 is becoming more and more polished. My BIG THXS to all the developers. I will start with the only major problem I found Problem: DNS When I installed openseuse 11.1 the major problem I got was that I was able to ping but not to be able to use firefox neither see any repository. The problem was solved. It seems it came back again with 11.2 RC1. The temporary solution is to enter by hand the DNS's. This occurs both in the liveCD and in the DVD x86-64. I will not expand here. Bug 549447 - Able to ping, no DNS 1. The creation of a usb stick is very easy and reliable which was not the case before. An improvement would be to be able to save changes into a file, but now is like a CD whatever you change goes to the ram disk and then is not retained. Some of the small distros devoted to usb stick like puppy linux save the changes and then this file is read when you boot the usb stick again. The speed is very fast comparing with the real CD. I will use the usb stick for maintenance mainly system backups to tape. Until now I use physical partition because it was simple to do backups using puppy linux for maintenance, now I can use easily LVM and backup and restore the whole system from the usb stick. GREAT. 2. Yast looks great. The partitioner works perfect, webpin is a new addition. Well all is good. 3. Firefox integration is big plus for kde users. 4. It is hard to evaluate performance comparing it with a production system like I use opensuse 11.1 but it feels faster and more responsive, mainly faster. 5. ext4 seems to work very well, no problem since I use it. I crushed it few time to evaluate recovery and everything has been fine. I have not experimented with Btrfs yet. 6. KDE 4x is getting better and better. Still there is a problem with the system tray widget. I filled bug report before, I'll do it again. The widget fails in two ways a) the icons are represented by a blank square (the only one ok is the mixer) this is a new problem b) if you have opened another activity the system tray widget will show in all activities and the graphics are distorted and you can no see the config and it can not be resize or removed except only in the original activity. BTW the system tray works very well on the panel. This bug creates a problem if you want to remove the panel and replace its functionality with widgets. This is going to be a great release. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
