[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE certified
Hello an other idea :-) I know we have an Hadware compatibility list. Could we improve that with an "openSUSE certified" list? It could be pretty easy. Some vendors have computers line quite stable (I use an HP desktop). I would be just the matter of asking the testers to find some common hardware amoung us and devote some debugging activity just on this hardware, to have it 100% openSUSE compatible - simple with an identified test base. then we could make this model visible on the wiki as a "don't worry" option. Some sort of "please, devs, say what you use, I want the same" of course, I see this as a marketting object, that could be discussed with the devs, not a technical goal... we could use this computer to promote openSUSE jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Okay: Packard Bell EasyNote LJ61 is really not openSUSE-ready. After 20-59 minutes the PC shutdown by himself and I have to restart the Notebook. Please, when you buy a new Notebook, choose an other one! The idea looks great! kdl -- Kim Leyendecker (kimleyendecker@hotmail.de) openSUSE Ambassador powered by openSUSE 11.3 KDE This mail was composed under Linux Have you tried SUSE Studio?

My old(3 years now) Dell Precision M4300 is working like a charm. If the idea seems great, it just not working. For example, Having buy 2 HP laptops for customers at 6 months interval, they don't have the same component inside (wifi chipset is not the same, also sound etc) So for the same model, one is working out of the box, the order needs more works. What we say to people ? Same maintaining wiki pages by hands is just a future fail ! That's what's happen with the old one. The only way to achieve that cross-bordering distribution is the smolt project which normally is installed by default on opensuse. for example : http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_222050c1-f65c-46c2-b75b-c0d36c63a4af All the hardware inventory is automatically/auto-magically done You just have to validate the different parts just try it with smoltGui on your own computer For example what I've with my Dell http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_caa64eca-6d8c-4abd-a61e-93d7fbfa1d48 And if you click on the model, you will see http://www.smolts.org/reports/view_profile/Precision%20M4300 165 unrated profiles, also you can check by distribution, version etc. I would said, that if we want to have a database hardware, we should only make marketing about the smolt project and work together with them. Stop reinventing the wheel, especially a squared one :D Apart Kim : your trouble are certainly related to the non-yet-working radeon drivers which forget to start to fan for gpu.

thats why a contract with the maker is much better. If *we* state we do the job of making our distro fit, it may be easy to get (for the harware maker it's all benefits)

problem is that nobody ever test all the components, and with this system, if one don't fit, nobody care of debugging. What I have in mind if *factory supported hardware*, may be only one laptop and one desktop, just for a showroom... (of course if we can have more, it's better)
just try it with smoltGui on your own computer
I did and was not able to answer many questions jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
