[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 2.30 Stable for daily use?
Hi all, Is GNOME 2.30 stable enough for daily use? I've been reading on how GNOME has become snappier and Evolution 2.30 has undergone a lot of changes for the good :) I'd appreciate some advise on upgrading my GNOME 2.28 to 2.30.

Regards Anshul Hi,
IMHO that depends upon the type of distro release you are using. I.E. currently 2.30 on openSUSE is still to be considered as UNSTABLE so you should disregard it if you plan to use GNOME 2.30 for important tasks. On other hand Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 comes with GNOME 2.30 and in this case I think the usability and stability is good. *From an http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases excerpt:* *Ubuntu releases are timed to be approximately one month after GNOME* *releases, which are in turn about one month after releases of X.Org,* *resulting in each Ubuntu release including a newer version of GNOME* *and X.* So I suggest you wait 11.3 final release in order to switch to latest GNOME, but this is just my humble opinion.

Yep. I have added the GNOME UNSTABLE repo to one of my openSUSE boxes.... my primary workstation remains on STABLE. UNSTABLE is what it says it is.

Didn't Ubuntu retro-fix Evo 2.28 and not include 2.30 [which is the primary reason I wanted GNOME 2.30 as well]. I read that somewhere. -- Adam Tauno Williams <awilliam@whitemice.org> LPIC-1, Novell CLA <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware, Cyrus IMAPd, Postfix, OpenLDAP, Samba -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I was disowning this about Ubuntu-Evo retro fix... Currently, openSUSE Evo-2.30 version is affected by some issues, for example, on my 11.3 M7, I had to de-install evolution-mono-plugins, in order to make it starts.
