Feature changed by: Stephan Kleine (bitshuffler) Feature #306989, revision 2 Title: More Help to new Users openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ney walens de Mesquita (nwm) Description: OK, opensuse is very simple to use, i agree, but many users just don't understand how a linux system works... what's a package??... why i have to use a Package Manager??!! Where is my network configuration?? why this is so diferent from windows or Mac?? Ubuntu today is the larger linux distribution because some reasons... follow a list of some important features that we can learn from: 1 - Too many community support (ok, openSUSE has this one) 2 - LTS release cicle (this is for SLED and SLES, i know) 3 - Too many manuals, documentation and Help (openSUSE has this one too) 4 - Costumized version of yelp with manuals to commom tasks, like use tha package manager and install codecs (i think that is the point) I sugest that openSUSE can do some advances on item 4 and this can help new users to understand how openSUSE works. I think that yast can be more explained by module on yelp, but in a easy way for end users and not thecnical way. + Discussion: + #1: Stephan Kleine (bitshuffler) (2009-07-30 20:04:51) + There's already a "Getting started" article on the wiki which aims to + fulfill this task: + http://en.opensuse.org/Getting_Started_with_openSUSE + Perhaps polishing & updating it and then making it more prominent would + be the best thing. (And since it is a wiki everyone can do it ;)) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306989
