Um which list does one post questions about current and future development and current releases on?
This one. BTW, do you have idea (proposal/solution) how to boot different hardware without initrd, but also without asking users to learn how to deal with kernel configuration and compilation on installation, and later on each kernel upgrade. For you it can be simple to fiddle with kernels and you may consider that not a waste of time, but it is not for me, and even lesser for people that just learned how to download iso and burn it on CD. I don't want to know how kernel works as long as all hardware works with satisfactory performance. Although, I do know many ways to boot computer and can fix, or workaround, many issues, I don't like when I have to. For me it is *not* what I want to do every day. Skills needed to fix problems are remnants from old times, when they were part of running Linux. New users lack skills and in 99% of cases they don't look for something new to learn, nor look for entertainment in computer configuration, but something that will run their computer better then what they have now. Dealing with older Vista laptop right now, that is faster from the USB stick with openSUSE 12.2, then Vista from the hard disk I can understand that people want to try it. It is free and it has all that 99% of users need; no need to chase applications around the web. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
