[opensuse-buildservice] How does Joe Sixpack get opensuse 11.3?
Joe Sixpack decides to install opensuse 11.3. So he googles opensuse and goes to opensuse's main page. He clicks on "get it" which leads him here: http://software.opensuse.org/ If he had gone to download Mirrors on opensuse distro watch page he would have gone to the same place. All roads lead to Rome it seems. Any way the page is a search window into a very large haystack of mostly rpms. How the heck is Joe supposed to think of the search string that will lead him to opensuse 11.3 installation DVD? By the way, what is it? I am pretty opensuse aware and I could not think of it in 15 minutes. If Joe is Polish, (BTW how do you say Joe Sixpack in Polish?) who is going to tell Joe about the Lang DVD to make opensuse work in Polish? Who is going to tell Joe about the Non OS Biarch DVD for software that is not quite pure? It would be nice if someone could tell joe about packman site so Joe could make his DVD player work, but you probably can't do that for legal reasons, so I will not insist on that. It seems to me that Joe needs a specialized page to tell him how to get opensuse downloaded and installed in a practical way. Opensuse has always been a good distro. Please do not try for the this web page sucks award. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

If Joe looks one inch lower, just under the search box, he will see a second box, called 'Download openSUSE 11.3' He get's all the choices of available Media. Joe just have to read more than the first sentence on screen.

I'm sorry I used konqueror everything below the "package search" box was invisible! I got konqueror with an early suse version I am too lazy to migrate my bookmarks to firefox! So I guess my name is Joe Sixpack! On Sat, Nov 20, 2010 at 12:40:36AM +0100, Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger wrote:

Paul, No reason to be sorry at all. If Konqueror actually misses on showing this information, that's certainly something that should be addressed. Either the browser or the website does something wrong in this case. I tested software.opensuse.org in Firefox and midori, both showing the proper content. If you can reproduce Konq not showing the full content, I suggest this be addressed either as a bug in bugzilla (http://buzgila.novell.com) or in the -project mailing list.
