Feature added by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Feature #310560, revision 1 Title: Future Download Options 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... I know 1,2,5 are already options, but the others should also be considered. 1. Gnome Desktop Live CD (<700mb) 2. KDE Desktop Live CD (<700mb) 3. LXDE Desktop Live CD (<700mb) 4. Server and Virtualization CD (<700mb) 5. Complete DVD (4gb) 6. Meego/Netbook Live Image (for future netbook installs) Important:Options to install inside as Windows applications (like Ubuntu) Important:Options to install onto USB drive (with GUI application like Ubuntu/Fedora) #Benefits 1.More accessible download options 2.Less frustrating if download fails 3.Less bandwidth requirements to support the project 4.More flexibile installation capabilities 5.These can be built easier and maintained with the project since the intro of SUSE Studio. #Additional Considerations 1.Besides possible acquisition of the SUSE project by some company the community must remain innovative and competitive against Fedora and Ubuntu. 2.Ubuntu and Fedora already offer these download and convenience options. 3.I have read comments from users who either don't realize a server option is built in or hate the idea of download the DVD just for a light server install. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310560
