Who tested openSUSE 12.2 RC2 and can tell one sentence why you are so happy about openSUSE 12.2?
Well, I'm not happy yet. Of the machines available to me ( Dell, HP Workstations; Dell, HP, and Lenovo business laptops, and a home-build AMD Fusion-based HTPC) only the Lenovo T60p (which is ancient) booted properly on RC2. Amazingly enough, it boots to a desktop via a live USB stick in <12 seconds. I spent 4 hours monkeying with compiling proprietary drivers and tweaking grub options to get a graphical boot (the open-source driver apparently doesn't support Fusion APUs, or didn't in RC2). So, everywhere else, I'll still running Tumbleweed, and honestly I'm a bit afraid for Sept. 5. ... but to your point ... GNOME 3.4 offers *huge* improvements in usability and customization, and I'm looking forward to using it everywhere. -- James Mason SUSE Studio Developer openSUSE Member+Ambassador 2925 Roeder Ave #300 Bellingham, WA 98225-2065 USA +1 360 752 6707 jmason@suse.com SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner@opensuse.org
