FTR, two in-place upgrades to Ubuntu and Kubuntu went off without a single hitch for me. It was slicker than snot on a gold tooth!
I did the whole Ubuntu/Kubuntu thing on base metal installs, not VMware or VBox. Installation was fine... very slick.. it wasn't until after the install that Ubuntu started to show it's warts. Skype setup for example... a nightmare if you want to use anything other than your default device due to the whole Pulse Audio thing. Other setup and confgurations were weak to useless... like multimonitor setup... I plug in a beamer to the laptop and try to get it configured... it's def possible but a pain. I installed 11.2 on the same laptop... after a few teething problems that were fixed by doing the install from the DVD instead of the KDE Live CD, it's working smooooooooth. Skype just works... plugging in beamers... works.. no hassle. Setup... same as always with openSUSE... hardware all auto identified and configured correctly without me having to do a thing. There are still some bugs with 11.2 that need to be fixed... one that comes to mind is the installer does not find or set up Grub correctly to allow you to boot other Linux installs.. it just ignores them. But it's a known issue... so it'll be fixed (hopefully) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
