Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #310560, revision 5 Title: Server Download Option for 11.4< Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Description: I am sure this may have been proposed before, but just in case I think it is a good move if the SUSE project would consider the following... #Proposal Break 11.4+ distributions into the following downloadable images from the opensuse.org site... CURRENT OPTIONS 1. Gnome Desktop Live CD, 2. KDE Desktop Live CD, 3. LXDE Desktop Live CD, 4. Complete DVD 5. Net Install Image ADD 6. Server and Virtualization CD, 7. Netbook Live Image (for future netbook installs). #Benefits 1.More accessible download options 2.Less frustrating if download fails 3.Less bandwidth requirements to support the project, no longer required to download DVD or other live images. 4.More flexibile installation capabilities 5.These can be built easier and maintained with the project since the intro of SUSE Studio. #Additional Considerations I have read comments from users who either don't realize a server option is built in or hate the idea of downloading the DVD just for a light server install. + Discussion: + #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-09-17 17:01:30) + Seems to imply more work than actual gain. The virtualization userbase + is not as strong as KDE or GNOME one. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310560
