Stephan seemed to suggest that Thursday was still a possible for M8, which surprised me as my bugreport was a hard show-stopper for any testing on HP Proliants with SMART arrays. When Stephan suggested I just "fix it myself", I think it got everyones attention. I still think the thread has taken a stupid turn, even if Stephans suggestion did touch a nerve.
Part of it could be the age of the machine. There's been a definate trend to tell people to upgrade their machines over the last few years. I've been told to upgrade the RAM in my P3 laptops or buy new since a P3/500 isn't considered a reasonably useful system to many these days. The fact that it's fast enough to play movies and surf(without flash, which I despise anyway) seems to be lost on some people. I've been waiting for the minimum requirements to move to 512MB and 2GB be the recommended for a while now. Even Linus has recently be quoted complaining about code bloat and how it's making the system slower. I can't even run 11.0 with a GUI on a Powerbook G3/266 with 512MB RAM. It's way too slow. However, a G4/466 runs it just fine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
