[openFATE 307603] Migrate x86_32 architecture to i686

Feature added by: Refilwe Seete (ReferenceSeete) Feature #307603, revision 1 Title: Migrate x86_32 architecture to i686 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Refilwe Seete (referenceseete) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openSUSE currently builds i586 binaries with a couple exceptions. As it currently stands openSUSE 11.1 permits a Pentium 1 but requires at least 256MB of RAM with 512MB recommended [1]. The likelihood of a person having a system with an original Pentium and 256MB (esp. 512MB) of RAM is quite low. Since the i686 architecture was introduced in 1995...2010 or 2011 is a suitable time to migrate the x86_32 target architecture without adversely affecting the majority of users. The Fedora Project is making this same transition for Fedora 12 [2]. Any growing pains they experience can be used as guidance for the transition in openSUSE 11.3 or 12.0. [1] http://www.novell.com/products/opensuse/sysreqs.html [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/F12X86Support Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: By moving to i686, openSUSE should receive a slight performance increase while maintaining support for an incredibly broad range of x86 chips. Any boost is helpful on systems with less processing power, such as netbooks/nettops or older systems (Pentium 2, original Athlon etc.). Moving to i686 is a way to boost performance the performance of openSUSE at the margins without having to delve into experimental or otherwise under-tested methods. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307603

Feature added by: Michael Calmer (mcalmer) Feature #308423, revision 1 Title: CA Management Proposal: change alternative name openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michael Calmer (mcalmer) Description: Currently the CA Management proposal detects a lot of alternative names which are added to the server certificate. These autodetected values cannot be changed. You need to remove the certificate and crerate a new one using the ca-management module, if something is wrong or not wanted. It would be good to have the possibility to change them at this time. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308423

Feature added by: Raul Libório (Rauhmaru) Feature #308271, revision 1 Title: GDM Customizable openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Raul Libório (rauhmaru) Description: I propose the return of GDM customizable, where you can do whatever it was before. change icons, background, change the position of the items ... If something I did not like the openSUSE was this change. In my opinion, this was a terrible decision by the developers. GDM was formerly one customizable tool, but, today, but today it is ugly and inflexible. You can not change their themes. There are millions of themes for GDM ... They were killed. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308271
