Re: [opensuse-factory] 12.2-RC2 - My test results and comments
Good to know this! I'm going for a fresh RC2 install too. What are the video cards you are working with? I will try a Radeon 6770M with open and private drivers.

There are no 12.2 repositories for these which is why YaST cannot create them and add them to the list.

So far all my testing looks good, although I'm strictly testing in virtual machines until I can reboot my crash-and-burn workstation and do an install. My current project involves testing on Lubuntu, Fedora LXDE respin and openSUSE 12.2 with the LXDE desktop. The only major difference I've found so far is that Lubuntu defaults to Chromium instead of Firefox, which is annoying as all Hell, and Fedora installs big chunks of LibreOffice rather than Abiword and Gnumeric, which is overkill for what I'm doing. -- Twitter: http://twitter.com/znmeb Computational Journalism Studio http://j.mp/CompJournStudio Data is the new coal - abundant, dirty and difficult to mine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
