Is Factory currently solid enough to employe in a semi-productive environment? If so I would consider changing repos for my workstation
I never used anything else on this very laptop and the last serious problem I had with it is over a year ago (broken X driver).
Of course - as Seife already mentioned - you need to be experienced in reading zypper dup output and avoid stupid mistakes. But that will greatly improve too with revived Factory-Tested.
Factory-Tested means we will only push out Factory if it passes certain tests - and one of this test is the ability to update from it. We'll see how often we see snapshot updates of Factory-Tested in practice, but I worry about that problem when we have it :)
tks, and tks for the efforts expended in this venue. I dl'd openSUSE-Factory-NET-x86_64-Build0141-Media.iso and installed in a vbox successfully. Now or 3rd install after fscking by changing repos. Noticed two thing particular: (1) On final install summary am offered "Graphical" or "Multi-User". I selected Multi-User but the selection is not retained and system boots to Graphical. (2) Default repo's are 13.2 rather than Factory (oss/non-oss) and when I changed to the Factory repo's, I borked the system. What repo's are prudent for "Factory/Rolling Release"? Do you want a bug report for the install option, runlevel {3,5} ? tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
